The Mississauga Writers Group was established in January 2013 with the underlying objective of providing writers a forum to share their experiences and their dreams through creativity, knowledge and mutual respect. Word Fest is the first of many achievements of the members as a collective force and is a celebration of ideas, inspiration and dreams.

Whether you’re in the mood for mystery or romance or you’re looking for some well-needed inspiration, Word Fest has it all. With a stunning combination of prose and poetry, this collection is a symbol of diversity and reflects the inherent passion of the contributors for the written word.

Word Fest is the first of many literary achievements of the Mississauga Writers Group. The book is available in both print and digital versions and is available on both Amazon and Kindle. Word Fest will also be officially launched on September 27, 2014 during the Culture Days’ event at the Mississauga Central Library. The contributing authors will introduce their work and their inspiration behind it and will be available to share their thoughts and experiences. 


The book is available for sale on Amazon. For more information about Mississauga Writers Group please visit http://mississaugawritersgroup.com. You can also connect with the group through Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MississaugaWritersGroup.

Writing is the fruit to happiness.   Amber Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn't so Zen.    Author of four novellas— Forever Winter ,   A Hero's Heart ,  Lightning over Bennett Ranch   and Mistletoe in the City— she published her first book in 2012 and hopes to publish countless more in the future.   Amber lives in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina with her punk-rocker husband and their five crazy kitties. Her mind is a wonderland of romance and adventure, laughter and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he's down. She probably wouldn't be too sane without her computer and notebooks. After all, what's a girl to do when there are people jabbering away in her head and it's hard to shut them up?   Write!   Nothing else works for Amber. I had the opportunity to chat with her and this is what she had to say. Enjoy!  Why do you write? I write because I must. I have so many ideas and cha...

Today's featured author is June Stacks, a librarian by day and an airship captain by night. A purveyor of romance and adventure, June has been writing for over ten years. Recently, she decided to try her hand at fiction. I had the opportunity to chat with June and this is what she had to say!   Why do you write? As a librarian, I get quite a bit of reading done so, when I get home, the last thing I want to do is read more. Writing is a great way to avoid TV or video games that I have discovered I have an addictive personality towards. (I'm looking at YOU, World of WarCraft) Which writers inspire you? I have a deep-seated appreciation for the old pulp writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, Walter Gibson, and Robert Howard. I also enjoy westerns. I guess I have a thing for dying genres. I blame my father whose bookshelves were within reach of me when I was just a kid. Sure, I read the normal kid stuff but there was just something about the covers of those boo...

Chris Karlsen is a history buff with a passion for traveling. She has traveled extensively across Europe, the Near East and Africa. A retired police detective (wow :-), Chris has spent 25 years in law enforcement. I had a quick chat with Chris and this is what she had to say. Enjoy!  What do you write? I write historical/paranormal romances, romantic thrillers and my latest is book one of a historical mystery/thriller series. Which writers inspire you? I'm inspired by Bernard Cornwell, John Sandford, J.R.R. Tolkien, Julie Anne Long, Julia Quinn, and Guy Gavriel Kay. What is your favorite book and why? My favorite book is: The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's a medieval fantasy that is clearly meant to be medieval Spain. The story is brilliant characterization of the two powerful male leads. The reader is as fascinated and empathetic to the antagonist as the protagonist. It's a most remarkable, moving, and exciting story. What do you thi...
