Janyce Stefan-Cole

"Reading is the resonance of ideas on the soul's willing ear. It is a lonely mind through which the thoughts of another have not passed." -Emily Dickinson

If you don't read what's the point?

Pardon my appearance: Novel-in-Progress...

(My next novel involves an NYPD Detective, a real estate bubble, a gun, a girl and science. Science? The Detective's____ [Spoiler Alert!] coming to a bookstore near you soon.)

UNBRIDLED BOOKS

I thank White Birch Books in North Conway and Riverrun Books in Portsmouth, NH; Oblong Books in Rhinebeck and Millerton, NY; Big Blue Marble Bookstore in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, PA; Porter Square Books in Cambridge, MA; and Greenlight Books and Word Bookstore in Brooklyn, NY, for welcoming me and my novel Hollywood Boulevard.

To see the YOU TUBE "Being Human" reading at St. Francis College see the link to the right. See the Editions Bibliotekos link to read, “Traveling With a Gun: Janyce Stefan-Cole On Writing”. Hit the Red Cube Pictures link to watch a beautifully shot scene from Hollywood Boulevard; actors Mark Boone Junior and Susan Jeimes render the characters of Fits and Ardennes with noir perfection, and the music is good too. See the Largehearted Boy link as well for the dream movie score for Hollywood Boulevard.

HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD
"Janyce Stefan-Cole has laced her witty, melancholy tale with Chandleresque bit players: philanderers, faded starlets, homicidal strippers and flouncy sex kittens. She knows how to tell a story. Read it to the end." –John Turturro, actor, director, screenwriter

"In Janyce Stefan-Cole’s sure-handed debut, Tinseltown trickery animates an emotional journey that springs into a delectable suspense..." -V Magazine

Of Hollywood Boulevard: "This novel is a page turner, more than anything because of the genuineness of the author’s own voice which gives endless satisfaction and propels the reader along with its consistently rich prose. A question haunting Ardennes is whether or not she should pursue her talent. In Janyce-Stefan Cole’s case, at least, the answer is a resounding yes and I can’t wait for more." —John Wynne, author of The Other World
