ErnestDempsey Interviewed

Publisher Victor R. Volkman spoke with author Ernest Dempsey about his new collection of short stories The Blue Fairy and Other Tales of Transcendence. Ernest Dempsey has authored four book and, in just the past few years, seen the publication of his poems, essays, short stories, and literary reviews worldwide. He is now the editor-in-chief of the print quarterly Recovering the Self: A Journal of Hope and Healing (www.recoveringself.com) and also works as the country editor for Pakistan on the celebrated internet news channel Instablogs. Dempsey's The Blue Fairy takes a subject that has been dreaded for centuries - Death.

In the book, he explores the manysides to the subject that make the final departure a meaningful reality of existence. Inspired mostly by real-life experiences, Dempsey's The Blue Fairy ingeniously integrates dying with living. It is a book for the soul.
