Today’s guest is author, N.W. Harris. Welcome to Strands of Thought, Neil. Tell us a little about you, please. I was born at the end of the Vietnam War and raised on a horse farm near a small town in North Georgia, my imagination evolved under the swaying pines surrounding my family’s log home.

Today’s guest is author, Antje Hergt. Welcome to Strands of Thought, Antje. Tell us a little about you, please. Born and raised in Germany, I came to explore the Canadian Rockies in Canmore, Alberta in 2003. Taking part in the Writing-with-Style Program at the Banff Centre for the Arts in 2007 encouraged me to follow my passion: writing for children. Darinel Dragonhunter is my first novel, which was inspired by my deep love for classic children literature and fairy tales. My thrill for science fiction/fantasy movies and television shows had an outlet in various genre short stories. I am a member of the Alberta Writer’s Guild and graduated from the Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen with a degree in Modern Languages. Currently, I live in Germany with my snoring cat, Sally, but I...
