Synopsis

Íris is a refugee from an abusive youth in Iceland, further abused on the streets of Toronto - until she sees Art as an escape. With a scholarship, she drifts from depression to nightmare to Wiccan rituals to the next exhibit. There's a lot she must forget to succeed in a life she refuses to take responsibility for. Eric is settling in at Fairmont College, starting a new life after betrayal and heartbreak. Divorced and hitting forty, he has a lot to prove - to his father, his colleagues, and mostly to himself. The last thing he needs is a distraction - and there's nothing more distracting than Iris. A BEAUTIFUL CHILL is a contemporary romance set in the duplicitous world of academic rules and artistic license.

About this title

About the Author

Stephen Swartz grew up in Kansas City where he was an avid reader of science-fiction and quickly began emulating his favorite authors. Since then, Swartz studied music in college and, like many writers, worked at a wide range of jobs before heading to Japan for several years of teaching English. After Japan, Swartz earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing, requiring him to study not only the Classics and the English literary canon, but Old Norse literature. A Beautiful Chill was originally his MFA thesis, and was based on the faculty, peers, and campus he encountered during his studies; he maintains it is a work of fiction. Swartz is now a Professor of English and teaches writing at a university in Oklahoma. He can always be found writing his newest novel, usually late at night.
