Stephen A. Adams

Writer of novels, children's stories, picture book.

Hi there. My name is Stephen Adams.

I recently lost Sue, my wonderful wife, to cancer. I miss her terribly.

Having gone up and down the grief ladder, I have decided that the best way to handle it is to write about her. It's my individual way of coping, my attempt to keep Sue here. It may sound very strange, but for me, it's very cathartic.

My first books were about Sue as an 8 year old. (Special Susie and the Mystery of..........)

Followed by a treasure adventure for Susie and her friend Stephen, (guess who that is)

There is also a story about a young princess that involves searching for a fairy, a mermaid, and a unicorn.

I have also produced 3 picture books. Two are about a playful puppy called Fluffy. The third is dedicated to Sue, as it lists all the places We Never Went. All 3 picture books are in rhyme.

In betweeen the above, I have managed to write 3 novels: My Wife, My Angel; The Therton Legacy; A Girl And A Boy. All three feature Sue and I in various guises. i love them!

I currently have an MG story where a girl is transformed into a fairy. She has a multi-coloured dress and wand. She can talk to animals and even has a floral crown of invisibility. Ultimately, she has a battle with the evi Dark Fairy.

It seems with Sue as my muse and inspiration, I cannot stop writing.

n.b. I've been asked why the name 'Special Susie'. Well, when Sue was at school, there were 6 or 7 other Susans in her class. The teacher gave them all nicknames, so she was never called by her correct name for years. She always looked sad at this. I used to give her a hug and say : "Don't worry darling, you'll always be My Special Susie".

And that is what I always called her. My beautiful special Susie.

Savage Broken Pieces

 Why be Cuban if you can’t be crazy?

Landing back home amid the chaos of mid-1980s Key West, I ask the age-old question along with my flamboyant and sarcastic half-brother, Joey. We pick right back up where we left off in our absurd endeavors to seek out truths in the family’s complicated history. Are we liberating heroes or smuggling criminals? Perceptions vary wildly.

My supernatural beliefs fueling this quest again find me at odds with Michael. His golden boy image and promising political career are in question as clear answers to my unexplained daring departure during the 1980 Cuban refugee crisis come to light with my sudden return. It was easier to leave during the hurricane, fleeing the self-created inland storm of my reckless choices with him and Michael’s ruthless retribution for them. I am again drawn to the fire of his desire, craving its redemption but have been burned before. He can fix something broken deep inside and can also destroy me. I fear I will shoot him again in his process to save me. I am sure of this as strong fortitude in one’s depravity was mandatory in our family’s line of work in the profitable and perilous Florida Straits.

We follow our determined Cuban refugee father, infamous for fiercely freeing his countrymen while struggling to direct his lively clan with our mothers by his side. One of old Floridian wealth and the other an ex-stripper. Our eccentric Cuban grandmother, banned from most local shops due to excessive shoplifting, considers herself the family’s moral compass. She has a lot to say, while my mysterious grandfather has only uttered one cryptic phrase since the fateful night of fleeing Cuba. A younger sister, guided by her magic eight-ball answers for life’s decisions, joins in the collective mayhem.

Artifacts from the past unlock my waking mind to the paradox of the recurring nightmare that made me run all those years ago. It is not any of my old memories but only a prophecy of what will come. A gift of insight from my Tia, who was murdered during the Batista to Castro regime changes, transcends my journey. The dream is to be followed dutifully, not outrun any longer. Despite my looming reckoning with Michael, where he will levy his justice on me, and the ominous warnings of the dream start coming true, I answer its call. In search of my fate from Key West and the Bimini Islands to the Greek culture of Tarpon Springs along with meeting those from my Cuban roots, fulfilling my dangerous destiny. What else is a Savage to do?

5th and Vanguard

 

5th and Vanguard SECOND EDITION

5th and Vanguard is set in a seaside town called Berle and narrated by Julie Page, an ex-junkie and writer who had retired her writing (and other addictions) for a more conventional life. But inspiration pays a call one windy night in front of Bob's Liquor Palace as a glamorous, disfigured old woman emerges from the backseat of a Cadillac and offers Julie one more chance at taking chances.

This quirky, neo-noir mystery explores the pock-marked inner and outer world of its heroine as she faces her demons to recover her muse. 5th and Vanguard is a story of chemical, emotional, and artistic addiction, and the price paid to feed each habit.

The music of Maxine Montego showcased in the book is the author’s own. Some of the songs can be heard on her album, “Champions and Lunatics,” available through iTunes, amazon, CDBaby, and various independents.

Maxine Montego reanimated my imagination like heaven’s alarm clock at the end of a dark sleep. She was a peep show offering everything that made me breathe hard: pain, loss, regret, greasy characters, seedy deals, and an irresistible talent. She teased me till all my nickels were gone. She was caffeine. Benzedrine. A mythological speedball coursing through my ready veins. And danger played no small part in my nearly libidinous need to pry into the warped vinyl of this singer’s life.

Young Girls Are Prettier 

The book is about a beautiful, young girl, and her sexual trek through life. It is about the men that she unknowingly captivates along the way. As she discovers her hoard of suitors, her feelings are never mutual. The men are persistent. They cannot handle rejection. They are too excited to be reasoned with. They cannot help themselves. They are entrapped in a net of lust. They cannot get out, because nature will not release them. Nature has programmed them to lust for young girls. They have been coded to mate. They have been coded to refuse to wait. There is another trek. It is the beautiful, young girl’s trip through the aging process. The book contains a lot of sex. The writer does her best to avoid risqué words and salacious descriptions. Occasionally, her best might not be good enough. The descriptions might jolt the reader. The readers will not have time to object. They will be too busy being entertained. The style of this writing would be considered satirical humor. The expectations should be a lot of laughter, some tears, and plenty of disbelief.
