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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 386\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53752358863155,"sku":"9781939296306","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/qzkKia1RdP9781939296306_afac2881-5605-4d1b-907a-e4af0a230812.webp?v=1785286460","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/a-beautiful-chill-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
