Rob has been writing on and off since high school, eventually getting his BA in English with a creative writing emphasis. But life had other plans and instead of going into teaching, he found work in publishing. Along the way, the Twin Towers fell, his job was shipped to India, and due to that outsourcing, he had a chance to return to school at 62 years old, thus making him a late-life Master of Arts recipient. Meanwhile, his novel, Organ Pipes of the Soul, kept reminding him not to forget it, and the current pandemic has increased his motivation to get the story out.
Today, it’s my pleasure to introduce Gerald R. Stanek
As a student of the esoteric teachings of various wisdom traditions, Gerald R Stanek's writing focuses on the interplay between the mundane and ethereal worlds, and the effect of transcendental experiences on subjective reality. The characters of his novels and stories, such as The Road to Shambhala and Contact and Other Impressions seek to be active participants in the expansion of consciousness and the evolution toward a unified humanity.

Today, it’s my honor to introduce you to one of the founding members of VFA dating back to March of 2012, who is one of the three VF authors who came together on Goodreads and decided to link up their three websites as a way to promote each other. As the old Virginia Slim commercial used to say, We’ve come a long way babe. Her latest VF novel is The Hidden Abbey, that was released this past January with the intriguing tagline: A fated love and a sacred destiny brought through time.
