Thread of a Spider recently won AudioBook Reviewers Choice Award. Read the review!
"This tale spews action throughout based upon actual battles, actual Gaelic lore and actual places. It draws you into the loyal loving relationships that is all that warms the poor characters on the cold damp landscape. .... As for the Fae folk, they are as real as the humans and not a Tinkerbell among them. These Irish youth in the 1920's held tight their freedom as William Wallace once did just before 1300 for Scotland. "-Amazon Reviewer
Thread of a Spider is a beautiful, haunting tale. Set in the 1920s in Ireland, it mostly reads as a historical fiction yet there are these fantastical elements with the faeries and their magic. Tensions are high between the Irish and English as Ireland struggles to become completely autonomous from England. - AudioBook Reviewer.

One of these is autistic and the other has dietary allergies and IBS. The household has in addition both service animals and companion animals.
Imagination is the flaming treasure that she views as one of the most important things to safeguard in children and rekindle in adults.

He experienced his first taste of success when in 2007, his musical moniker Deer City achieved notoritey via Myspace.com, followed by multiple mentions in The Seattle Stranger and airplay on KEXP 90.3 FM. In 2008 Stillwell performed at the EMP Sound Off! competition alongside Hey Marseilles, and ultimately produced 6 albums as Deer City.

While Stillwell was working to complete his directorial debut, he would continue to act in a handful of independent films and music videos, including Erin Dinsmore's 'The Life and Death of Julian Finn,' and Molly Preston's short film 'CARL,' which went on to win 'Best Short Film' at the Oregon Independent Film Festival.

Since then, Stillwell has been busy as ever- releasing a double-album of experimental pop music via Soundcloud.com called 'Neptunalia,' and also completing his first short film 'TOGOLAND-' a surrealist WW1 fairytale set in a mystical desert. Officially relocating to Portland in 2016, Stillwell continues to work both in front of, and behind the camera, as well as create his own brand of infectious pop music. He can be hired as an actor, production designer, script supervisor, assistant director, production assistant, and location scout/coordinator for film.
