William Shakespeare

DID YOU KNOW?

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564 - 1616)

William Shakespeare was a British writer (poet & playwright), dramatist, and actor during the English Renaissance period.  Despite London Playhouses being shutdown from September 1592 until June 1594 due to the Plague, he found fame and success.   He is considered the 'most famous' and 'most recognized' playwright in the world.

In 1582, at the age of eighteen, William married.  His wife was Anne Hathaway and though they remained married until his death, they preferred to live a part.  Still, they had three children together - a daughter, Susanna (1583 - conceived before their wedding, suggesting the reason they married), and twins, Judith and Hamnet (1585).  Sadly, there are no known descendants living since his son died at age eleven while neither of his daughters' children survived into adulthood.

William Shakespeare is credited to have written 38 plays and 2 narrative poems among other works in poetry, including 154 sonnets.  Unfortunately, none of his original manuscripts (written in his own hand) exist.  This adds to the often-questioned authenticity of his work.  Some believe other writers actually penned under 'William Shakespeare', though there is no proof of this allegation.

A YA / NA Supernatural Romance With Bigfoot



Book Two – UNVEILED
Realizing she was standing alone in an empty forest, Hannah had a moment of panic. “Oh, shit!” Looking around anxiously, she shouted, “Was I supposed to hold onto your hand?  Because I didn’t.”

Before an answer could be given, she felt a vibration wash over her. The sensation grew and seemed to draw her into an unseen electrical field. The static charge made the hair on her body raise slightly. Oh, God!

The energy of the veil made her skin tingle and buzz. Wow! This is amazing, she thought, feeling exhilarated. Then, the world expanded around her, and she saw things that had been hidden only moments before.
