Book Island
Ernest Dempsey's Website

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

Book Island is meant to introduce me as a writer to readers, fellow writers, editors, and people in the publishing world. Writing since childhood, creating ideas and expressing them through words has become my mantra. Starting publishing my writings online in 2003, I am now the author of four published books and numerous individual entries placed in several different publications.

Besides creative writing, I work freelance, writing articles, particularly on health and environmental topics. Reviewing books and interviewing authors are also among my pleasures. 

In 2009, I became the editor of a new print quarterly Recovering the Self, published by the Loving Healing Press of Michigan. The self-help journal is gradually growing into a platform for healing and growing in body and mind.  

Yet another publishing venue is our citizen journalism channel Instablogs where news and views from around the world are posted daily. Being the country editor for Pakistan, I update my profile page as Freebird. 

I hope you enjoy reading the pages of Book Island. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you!

Ernest Dempsey
