A proposito di questo titolo

 Christopher Sweet is an author from New Brunswick. I was introduced to his work by the folks behind Partridge Island Publishing when I visited their bookstore in Saint John and asked them what I should be reading. They handed me Christopher’s novella Something Sweet. I read it and was impressed. This guy can write! I thought, and reviewed it thusly:“I’m impressed. At 73 pages, this indie novella is expertly constructed and tightly written and boasts a pitch-perfect ending. It isn’t for the faint of heart, though. It contains adult situations and the author himself calls it a “gross little story” (it’s only gross at the end though).It would make an excellent X-Files episode and is reminiscent of the work of Stephen King (in the best possible sense). Can’t wait to see more from Christopher Sweet!” ~ Joe Mahoney, Shepherd.comA few months later I met Christopher at the Greater Moncton, Riverview, Dieppe Bookfair (which, while I’m on the subject, probably needs a pithier name) and discovered that he’s a pretty cool guy as well as a great writer. Other local writers have said to me, “Watch this guy. It’s only a matter of time until he’s Canada’s Stephen King.” Having compared him to the master himself, I believe it. Christopher Sweet has been, in his words, “…a freelance writer, manager, waiter, bartender, event DJ, actor, children’s entertainer, truck driver, shopkeeper, call centre operator, concierge, office assistant, barista, supply teacher, and—most recently—a campground manager.” He’s a cinephile, a bibliophile, a lover of nature, and currently resides on a campground in New Brunswick on the other side of the Miramichi with, as he puts it, “his growing tribe of people and pets on a peaceful river in New Brunswick’s Acadian Peninsula.”In this episode of Re-Creative, Mark Rayner and I talk to Christopher about, well, everything we could think of related to writing, books and publishing… including our darkest fears. We each have one! But you’ll have to listen to the podcast to discover what they are. We explore Christopher’s love for Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, and tumble headlong down rabbit holes containing more of King’s work, including in particular The Shining. Christopher shares his thoughts on indie publishing, his own budding career in writing, and even waxes poetically about em dashes—a subject upon which the three of us agree. It’s a fun, illuminating conversation with a talent to be watched… and read. You can subscribe to this podcast completely for free.
