Treasured & Tipsy Timeslip: Traveller Scott A. Lerner

Travel and make-believe go hand in hand. Whether we're in the present or the past, in a haunted castle, an enchanted forest or a broken down building, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and traveling the world can bring the imagination to life. Please welcome this week's guest, author and attorney Scott A. Lerner. #Travel #AuthorInterview #TreasuredTipsyTimeslip #RachaelStapleton I would love to travel to Ancient Egypt. I find their culture fascinating enough to make it a part of the Fraternity of the Soul Eater. I would love to have been around in ancient times but would settle for being there during the late 1800s through the 1920s. I could be around during the great archeological discoveries. My book takes place in modern times, but the magic from Ancient Egypt is referenced throughout.

Somewhere in the middle, I began to loathe Bloody Beth just as I suspect the author Lacey Crowe had planned. ​And while I am a huge fan of mystery and perhaps even some light thriller/suspense. This book was definitely out of my wheelhouse, I wouldn't call it

Please welcome this week's guest, fellow Canadian, Lacey Crowe, who writes for the lovers of the darker side of fiction, channeling stylistic inspiration from the spirits of John Steinbeck, Ray Bradbury, and maybe even a little Edgar Allen Poe. #Travel #AuthorInterview #LaceyCrowe #Camping #TreasuredTipsyTimeslip #RachaelStapleton #ExploreOntario #CurseofthePurpleDelhiSapphire #LoonsLanding #ManitoulinIsland #BrucePeninsulaNational I live in the city now—a small city surrounded by lakes and rivers. The Ontario city I was born in was much the same, though it has grown since then and is possibly now too big for me. I’m a fan of the countryside. I’m attracted to the darkness of the bushes, the quietude. I embrace the isolation,

Please welcome this week's guest, New York Times Bestseller, M.J. Rose. She's taking us on a tour of Paris, the City of Lights.

It was a marvelous and curious time. The arts flourished side by side with philosophy and a deep and powerful interest in the esoteric movement. I’d specifically to visit the artists studios and night clubs and occult library/stor
