Stacey Marcus is the product
of a lifelong struggle with obstacles, battles and turmoil and has spent her
life trying to find solutions and a spiritual connection that helps explain the
things she has gone through. She brings
the sense of desire and adventure to her writing. Stacey is mom, a wife and a survivor of practically
every abuse imaginable. She has become a
beacon of light to others.
Stacey is a
humanitarian, a champion for women, children, elders and animals. She believes
in a higher power and finds solace in its presence.
Welcome, Stacey.
After
hiding in the garage on a dusty shelf for nearly 20 years, Stacey Marcus has
finally found the courage to reveal her painful truth with the release of her
first book of poetry, Revelations Of The Anonymous. In transcendent, simple words, Stacey has
found a way to tell the story of her dark journey through tragedy into
triumph. Written over a twenty-five year
period, this collection of poems and thoughts is the voice of one anonymous
woman’s genuine power to stir, inspire and provoke one’s peace of mind.
I
must say that I have been blessed in the promoting department. Many people have come upon my poetry book and
then found themselves buying the children’s books on-line. People like you are kind enough to allow me to
spread the word on their websites.
Welcome, Stacey.
How many books have you
written?
Three and I am working on my fourth one now.
Give a short synopsis of your most recently
published book.

How much of yourself is hidden in the
characters in the book?
I
don’t think much of myself is hidden. I
reveal a very personal look into the journey of my life through my poems.
What challenges did you face while writing
this book?
Fear of exposing my authentic self.
Do you travel to do research or for
inspiration? Can you share some special places with us?
I
usually write in the park, on a hike or on the beach. I like to find places where I can actually
hear my honest thoughts.
What do you think is the greatest lesson
you’ve learned about writing so far? What advice can you give new writers?
The
first thing I have to say is never give up writing. Use it as an outlet for your dreams, hopes,
thoughts and ideas. I believe the most
important thing for a writer to do is just write! Even if it’s a journal entry to start, at
least it’s something. And as you begin
writing on a daily basis, you will find that the words just pour out onto the
paper and your fingers can’t stop hitting the keys on the computer!
Where do you store ideas for later use: in
your head, in a notebook, or on a spreadsheet?
I
usually keep a small journal with me so I can jot thoughts down as they occur
to me.
We all know how important promoting our work
has become. How do you get the word out both off and online?
I
must say that I have been blessed in the promoting department. Many people have come upon my poetry book and
then found themselves buying the children’s books on-line. People like you are kind enough to allow me to
spread the word on their websites.
Can you tell us your future writing
goals/projects?
I am
working on “Kosher Crack,” a memoir and story of one nice, Jewish girl’s fall
into the pit of hell and her journey into the light.
Where can folks learn more about your books
and events?
