Meet Shiela Stewart and her Demons

How did you start your writing career?

I guess it all started when I was five. I loved telling stories to my friends and cousins. I would make up elaborate tales that had them mesmerized. I often turned those stories into songs and would sing them as I twirled in the cornfield. The real writing started when I was in my teens. I used it as a means to escape reality. Often the stories were brutal and dark and didn’t always have a happy ending. Aside from writing dark stories I wrote poems of love. I soon found that was the heart to my writing.

Has someone been instrumental in inspiring you as a writer?

That would be my husband. He has been my biggest supporter and fan. He read everything I wrote and gave me tips on how to improve it. He’s always believed in me and knew I had potential despite me feeling the opposite. He was the one who got me started on the road to getting published.  If it wasn't for him and his love and support, I wouldn’t be here today telling you this story.
