Ey Wade
Biography
Knowing me as a writer and author is like cracking an egg’s shell in the air and wondering how far the splatter will spread. Wait, that’s kind of like knowing me as a person. I’m like all over the board and always working on three to five projects at a time. I have no favorite spots to work and my view tends to be pointed at the keyboard. When an idea comes into my head I just flow with it. I haven’t been able to conform my writing to any specific pattern. I am more than often working on one story and the characters from another will just be dying to get my attention and I have to go into their world.
I tend to write in various genres from fiction to picture books. Using pen (same one for the past eleven years) and paper, laptop and as a newly favorite the word program on my cell phone. I have found I can write anywhere with that little contraption and my focus is intent. Has to be with those tiny keys, right? And then I just email to myself and copy past into my manuscript.
Before becoming a self-published author I followed the rules. Wrote outlines, character back stories, did the word counting, queries and everything. I even had an agent once. Unfortunately he was a horrible choice. Directed me away from Ballantine books (wish I would have known who they were then) who wanted The Perfect Solution and straight into the corrupt hands of Publish America. What a crock. After that fiasco I was so humiliated I couldn’t write. Fought and had my rights returned and now, I am back. I tried the querying again, but became frustrated when it seems the agents’ rules are so varied, too confusing for me. Not to mention the rejection letters can be soul crushing. I received a lot of positive reviews for The Perfect Solution when it was first published and yet when I began querying one agent informed me no one would like the book and yet it deals with negligence in the child care system. So, off I ran on my own. I have recently put three novels, three picture books and a creative non-fiction book into the Amazon and Smashwords systems. I think e-publishing is one of the greatest inventions God has given to the world. I would advise any author to go that route when they have something they feel strongly about.
I have worked in the childcare profession for over thirty years, and was bound to Sam. I us those experiences to write novels which have gained the attention of parents, parents-to-be, child care professionals and discerning readers.
I thinks of myself as a caged in frustrated author of thought provoking, mind bending ebooks, an occasional step-in parent, a fountain of knowledge, and ready to share.
As a writer I have had an essay in Essence magazine, several articles printed in the local paper and magazines.
Oh, and to let you know I do have a stable life….I am the (always single) mother of three daughters who are all grown now, 27, 25, and nearly 20 years old and I home schooled them on a string and a prayer. Though it may seem as if I am a bit scattered brained I was able to school them into college by the age of seventeen and sixteen. The two eldest have graduated, yeah! I am the drooling proud ‘Lovey’ of a baby boy named Jett Parker Ellington and that’s me and my writing life in a nutshell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for History buffs!, June 8, 2011
By
bookmom -This review is from: Beads On a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History (Kindle Edition)
Beads on a String is an approachable, conversational, and interactive history of diversity in America. Instead of a melting pot, Ey Wade envisions the country as a piece of jewelry where the contributions of all of the people who have immigrated here from all over the world add to the beauty of our society. It honors all of the peoples that contributed to this country in a nicely balanced way. Designed as a resource for students it suits the classroom or homeschool classroom but also is an enjoyable read for armchair historians and fans of the History Channel. It's a must read for history lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read In So Many Ways, June 2, 2011
By
Jonathan Ellis "This works." (New York, New York)
This review is from: Beads On a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History (Kindle Edition)
I just finished Beads on A String and in all sincerity I have to say it is a work of subtle genius. Several years back I read one of the most unusual history books ever written, "The Peoples' History of the United States." Anyone who has read that revelation of history as events that really happened, as opposed to events as reported by those who were left holding the most power, will see a similar sort of understanding in this amazing work by Ey Wade. An alternative title for her work could well be, "A History of the People of the United States. I can give this work no higher compliment.
I was consistently fascinated by unexpected connections, accomplishments and contributions being added to the ongoing tapestry of our country by so many people from so many ethnic and cultural backgrounds, that I simply couldn't put the book down. If I could ask for anything more, it would literally be just that...more.
This is the story of the heroes of our collective past. What is incredibly moving is that so many of these heroes have gone unsung for so long.
I can gladly recommend this book to anyone interested in the historical journey of the land we live in. Beyond that, I can just as easily recommend it to anyone who just likes a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Solution -Isn't!, February 8, 2011
By
Patricia Hardy "patticake 545" (New Orleans,LA USA)
This review is from: The Perfect Solution-A suspense of choices (Kindle Edition)
The story dealing with the abduction of a pre-K student from a day care center shows the necessity for more stringent safety measures to be applied to all day care centers. The characters are sympathetically protrayed and you do feel concern for their perdicament, but you just wanted to shake the people who ran the day care center and ask "What were you thinking"
I would recommend this to anyone who would enjoy a well-paced suspense story.

This review is from: THE FISHING TRIP-A TRIAL BY WATER, EXECUTION AND A DELIVERANCE OF RETRIBUTION (Kindle Edition)
Ms Wade, has shown the mastery that she truly has in the writing, construction, and execution of this book. It tells of how once you are something, no matter how well you try to mask yourself, the truth will ALWAYS rear its ugly head.
The jumping back and forth works perfectly, as does all of the situations Ms Wade has created.
I would highly recomend this book as a must read.
I was unable to put it down, and felt a part of the story imbedding itself into me.
100% perfect !!!!

Smashwords book reviews by Ey Wade
- Another Eternity
on March 26, 2011
From the first page I was intrigued. Whoever said prologues were a no-no in books were obviously mistaken. It pulled me in and kept me reading throughout the night. The idea of faith and rebirth is touched on in a totally different light. This book is more than a page turner, its s soul usurper. Captivating.
- The Rot
on Aug. 12, 2011
Wow, short, to the point and disturbing. The Rot, scared me. Just the idea of such a thing happening doesn't seem far fetched in this haves and have not world. I suppose the poor would be seen as pests to be eliminated. Awesome story Kipp. Hope you never become leader of the world or a politician. Not kidding. lol
- Josie's Thorn
on Aug. 14, 2011
Due to a family tragedy Josie has to return to a place which meant nothing, but tragedy in her life, home. Beyond the guilt and fear for the one remaining member of her family, Josie now has to worry about the success of the ranch, saving her own life and protecting the secret she has kept hidden.
Lisa did a great job pulling me into this book. I love romance, especially when there is mystery and suspense intertwined.
- Spirit Song, Cape of the Red Jaguar
on Sep. 06, 2011
Christina, sold to a tribal chief to be used as a sacrifice is rescued by Raphael. United through the terrors of an exploding volcano, many other dangerous encounters all while the flame of romance builds for the main characters, Christina and Raphael. I was fantastically entertained by the well written storyline while learning things about Shamanism, energetic healing, and sorcery. I also like the fact the author added a glossary at the end of the book.I really enjoyed this book and recommend it.
- Stolen Moments
on Oct. 30, 2011
I don't usually read vampire stories and this one really surprised me. Totally the type of book I try to stay away from. The kind that are so interesting you must have hours free in order to finish in one sitting. Every time I would put it down to attend to 'the real world' I had to rush through my tasks in order to get back to the story. I just had to know what would happen next and to whom. I really like books that jump from past to present. The author did a great job depicting the two. I look forward to the next book in the series.
- The Baby - a short story
on Dec. 31, 2011
Cloning is illegal, but it seems love trumps rules. The Baby is truly a short story, but one that will remain on your mind for a long time. It makes you wonder about the real motives of a person. Is it really a baby Ellie wants?
I found this book to be an interesting read.
- Escaping the Fire
on Dec. 31, 2011
I really enjoyed this story. Through a fantastic and precise flow of words Carolyn had me running along with Isobel as she escaped through the many trials she had to endure just to fulfill her lust to heal the infirmed. Some of the escapades had my own heart ready to stop.Because of the fear from those not used to 'natural' healings, all hell fell on the girl's life.
I learned a lot of history(one of my fav subjects) and was never bored. A great read.
- Second Chances
on Dec. 31, 2011
Second Chances is a very intense yet enjoyable story. Amazing how the lives of so many people can be destroyed by mere chance. Valerie is such a talented author, if you aren't careful you will find yourself so engrossed you will forget the story is fiction. The romance, suspense, and thrill of it all will have you flipping pages faster than you can read. I highly recommend Second Chances.
- Hope For The Holidays
on Dec. 31, 2011
Each of the three stories were fulfilling on its own and together they were outstanding. Each story is heart warming and goes beyond racial and social status to reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. I like Dana Taylor's way of writing and recommend Hope for the Holidays to everyone.
- India Was One
on Jan. 05, 2012
India Was One- is an engrossing story, very entertaining and shares a wealth of information. As a love story it breaks your heart to read of a married couple separated by country and culture. As a way to learn of another culture, India Was One wins hands down. As always it is a shame how we let small differences separate people. I really am glad I read this book and recommend it highly.
