The Stargazer's Scrapbook

If you could tamper with your memories and rewrite them in your favour, would you? It’s actually a rather easy thing to do.

Memories aren’t made purely from our interactions in the physical world. When we muse with our imaginations, we’re creating memories, too. When reality and fantasy intermixes over time, how can you draw the line between what’s real and what isn’t?

In her early years, Lisanna Spring was raised by her grandmother, a memory collector who loved to tell stories with impeccable vividness to anyone who would care to listen. Often times it would be to an audience of one; Lisanna. When Lisanna’s grandma lost in a fight with Alzheimer’s disease and was forced to trade her beloved babysitting role for an ironic bedridden ending, she leaves behind a beautiful scrapbook as a memento for her granddaughter. After a period of hysterical denial, Lisanna discovers the dying wish her grandma had left for her in the scrapbook and intends to fulfill it by becoming a collector of more than just memories.

If you read until this far then I humbly thank you (: I feel bad for asking anything from you awesome people because you've already given me so much joy from simply reading my writing. The greatest honour for me as a writer is having my work read. 

I want to write to encourage others, and to introduce ways of thinking that could help people become happier. That being said, I don't want my writing to be a means to make money for my own personal gain. I'm currently a third year undergraduate student showered in student loan debt and currently unable to find a summer job, but I have faith that once I graduate I will find a career to deal with it. My writing is to be kept separate from my financial problems.

For this novel, I chose Alzheimer Society of Canada because... Well... I was born and raised in Canada. THe whole story kicks off when Lisanna's grandmother contracts Alzheimer's Disease. I wanted to support a cause I touched upon in my book, and I know it's a widespread disease that affects nearly every family. And to be honest.. it's a disease I would never want to have, because it would force me to forget. And I hate forgetting.

My plans for the future include publishing more books (although probably not any time soon), and a few book projects have already been set in motion. I have considered fixing up Wanderlust and publishing it, but the characters will all need new names. If any of you have suggestions please do share!! If your suggestion is chosen I will credit you in the published book. I will frequently post updates on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/eslwriting especially for my works in progress. (This includes spoilers, teasers, free book contests, etc) 

Thanks for reading until now. I know I have a habit to ramble on hahaha. Thank you for being one of my biggest pillars of support!! You helped make one of my biggest dreams come true, and I hope that when the time comes I can be able to somehow repay the favour and share in the joy of your dreams becoming reality as well.

Dare to desire, and you're never too young or old to set off on a life changing adventure.

God bless,

SkyeLin (Esther Lac)

Congratulations on your first novel! It's nice to see writers get somewhere with their work when they deserve it! And you do! You're also inspiration to the rest of us and I've actually begun writing also, although I must ask if the publishing process is as scary as others make it out to be and how did you get publicity for your book?
