She was voted by ESPN as “One to Watch” among other notable celebrities. Rose starred as Tracy Turnbald in “Hairspray,” and traveled all over North America. More recently, she appeared on NBC’s “The Voice,” season 13, where she sang “Kozmic Blues,” a Janis Joplin favorite. Rose became part of Miley Cyrus’ first-ever, all-female team. Steele, known for her charming and charismatic voice, released her third album “Watch Me Fly” this year. She has performed with Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Bette Midler and Steely Dan. After deciding to step out on her own, she has been touring regularly as a featured vocalist with Grammy Award-winning trumpeter, Chris Botti.

She has worked with ensembles such as the Boston Pops, Cincinnati Pops, Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony and Toronto Symphony among many others. a lot easier for Wall to write compared to “Dominion,” because of how she outlined the book. “Many of the short stories are science fiction,” Wall said. “I read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut, Ayn Rand and George Orwell, and like the sort of dark, dystopian themes. So I played off some of these concepts.” The Earth and Universe also become characters to give the book a more emotional appeal, and the man’s character remained constant in lamenting that he was a failure, she said. The man was inspired by a “Twilight Zone” episode, “Time Enough at Last,” which Wall watched when she was a child. “It’s about a man, and all he wants to do is read, but he never has time to do that because everyone keeps bothering him,” she said. “When he finds out he’s the last surviving man on Earth, he feels he has time enough at last to read, but then he breaks his glasses.” Wall’s late grandfather, Douglas E. Hudon, introduced her to the iconic 1950 and 1960s sci-fi series, so she dedicated her book to him. Wall wrote most of the installations for “Time Never Stops” at night during summer break two years ago. “There were so many different ideas that I had going on, and I was able to invent new places and scenes,” she said. “I didn’t know when I would stop writing, or how long the stories would be. And that made it more fun to write.” The author feels “Time Never Stops” showcases how her writing capabilities have improved. “It’s definitely more mature in terms of style,” she said.
