Currently she co-partners a commercial beekeeping company, Klausesbees LLC. E.WainDecker is a creative writer of contemporary gothic and mystery crimes ~
What is her 'mantra'
I like to think I study the human condition - political and natural, introspective and external. My interest is in the forces that create and shape an individual’s psyche. How it all works, not simply, that it does work.
I write because I like to tell stories and I am told I do that well as a creative writer of contemporary gothic, mystery crimes and women action.
Writer's PSYCHE of the WORD
WORDS are like Music - they activate a visual sense in a different way than does a piece of art. Art is already visual and it can only bring up an emotional response through colour, form and touch. One either loves it or hates it.
BUT the WORD itself
can transform not only an emotional response ~ it can DEMAND a physical action; it can take the reader to places never gone to within their own reality; give a visual context/ a picture to something written down on paper; can entice a savoury mouthwatering experience or a titillating sexual urge; one can almost feel the wind in one's hair; the touch on the skin. And so it is with music - these are MIND PLATFORMS upon which one can expand one's horizon through reading / hearing the word spoken/ being swept up with the strings and tooting flutes... creative writer writing life's mystery crimes in a contemporary gothic frame time ~

THE POWER of the WORD
reminder
It had been 20+ years since i had been back home to Montreal, Canada ~ while chatting, a childhood friend reminded me that I had written a story which had won a prize - I looked at her in surprise. TIMOTHY TURTLE she replied. I smiled remembering ~ I had entered a writing contest which was held across all of the Commonwealth and had won / dinner with the Consulate General at the Ritz Carlton Hotel and a cash prize. The piece was about Timothy Turtle who swam the St. Lawrence Seaway. I thought how extraordinary that she would have remembered something from such a long time ago - I had written it when i was 8-9 years old - At the time of her comment I was in my 60's. I am now in my 70's. She recounted the tale as if having just read it the day before.
And so there IS power in the word / in the thought / in the story ~
My father, Eric James Wain, used to contribute articles and commentaries (political and social) to the Montreal Gazette. He started me off keeping a journal, a logue ~
