Second Chances on the Eastern Shore: Unveiling a Paranormal Secret with Author Gail Priest

Online For Authors Podcast

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Gail Priest, author of the book Soul Dancing. Gail has a passion for women’s fiction. Her degrees and work in theatre and counseling psychology inspire her stories of healing from trauma and secrets within families. A dash of romance and her love of second chances are always in the mix. The settings of her novels are influenced by her time spent on the coast of New Jersey and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Gail Priest’s newest novel, Soul Dancing, was an American Fiction Awards semi-finalist for Women’s Fiction. Firebird Book Awards has awarded it first place in Cross Genre and second place is Women’s Fiction. Gail is also the author of the Annie Crow Knoll trilogy which includes Annie Crow Knoll: Sunrise, Sunset, and Moonrise. The final novel was a Kindle Book Awards semi-finalist. Eastern Shore Shorts, her collection of short stories set in various Eastern Shore towns, was a finalist in the International Book Awards Short Story category.

Gail is a member of The Women’s Fiction Writers Association, Eastern Shore Writers Association, Novelitics Writers Collective, and the South Jersey Writers Group, where she was named Writer of the Year. Gail lives in New Jersey with her husband and their Havanese dog, Annie. When she’s not writing or teaching, Gail can be found reading or looking for birds and sea glass along the beaches and bays of the East Coast.

In my book review, I stated Soul Dancing is a delightful woman's fiction with a bit of romance and a paranormal twist! And quite frankly, I LOVED this cross-genre experiment!

Shirlene is a 90-year-old woman dying of cancer. Rain is a 20-year-old drug addict giving birth. Both women die, but Shirlene refuses to go toward the light. However, she dwells long enough that she can't return to her old body, instead finding herself in L&D in the final stages of labor.

Imagine this classy, reserved, older woman finding herself in the body of a young woman with tattoos and piercings - and then trying to explain to those she loves what has happened. Throw in her husband's death bed confession, romantic feelings toward Cameron, the uncle willing to raise his brother's baby, and an old friend who pushes Shirlene to take second chances, and you have an amazing novel that will make you shake your head, laugh, cry, and cheer for redemption.

I couldn't put this award-winning book down - and I'm betting you won't be able to either!
