Synopsis

While on a vacation in the Lake District, England, Florence Hamilton meets Lance Ramsey, and immediately events take a mysterious turn. To her astonishment, Florence's second-hand camera takes photos of events - some serene and some shockingly disturbing - that are radically different from the scene before her. The mystery intensifies when Lance shows Florence a remote, uninhabited house deep in the countryside. As the initial attraction between Florence and Lance matures and as further mysterious events follow, disparate in nature and dispersed geographically, the two start to question both if there is a larger connection between these events, and if the nature of time is beyond a linear understanding.

About this title

From the Author:

Simply put, I loved writing And All is Always Now. I didn't know how it was going to evolve when I started writing it - I write in the way some artists draw, by 'taking a line for a walk' and discovering where it takes me - and I found that, with the help of listening to some of Beethoven's chamber music, I'd enter an exceptionally immersive state, in which the story started to unfold and the characters sometimes spoke in ways which surprised me. When this happened, I'd have to write as fast as I could to capture it. And when I'm in that incredible immersive state I find I become much more observant of beautiful moments in nature, or the idiosyncrasies of people, much of which I inserted into my evolving story. Also, in writing And All is Always Now, I made profound discoveries about the philosophical debates as to the nature of time, and these I found to be tremendously exciting and inspiring in crafting the story itself.

About the Author:

And All is Always Now is Tisha Bender's latest novel, and has been a long, complex, marvelous and exhilarating journey for her to write, as she has been gripped since the age of 17, in trying to unravel how and why a trim little uninhabited and very isolated cottage deep in the English countryside, shown to her by her first love, revealed a mystery of its own of incredibly sudden, surprising and profound proportions. Just as Tisha cannot be without a work of fiction to read - her favorite writers range from J.B. Priestley to Vladimir Nabokov to T.S. Eliot, especially because of their fascination with reinterpreting Time which mirrors her own fascination - she cannot be without a novel of her own to write. P.U.N.C.H. (Champlain Avenue Books, Inc.; January 24, 2016) is Tisha's first published novel, which she has also narrated and is available as an Audiobook (Audible, August 2017). Tisha is also the author of two editions of the non-fiction books, Discussion-Based Online Teaching to Enhance Student Learning: Theory, Practice and Assessment (Stylus Publishing, 2004, 2012). Tisha was born and raised in London, and went to the University of Bristol. She then attended the London School of Economics for graduate school, after which she moved to the US, as she had fallen in love with New York after a vacation there the previous summer. She has been teaching in the Rutgers Writing Program since 2004, and prior to that has taught in a number of other U.S. universities.
