1st Published Novel!

Dare to Desire

HELLO EVERYONE! I've missed you all dearly since the end of Dare to Desire, and I've been on a seemingly endless AFF hiatus... but I wanted to share something BIG with you all that has finally happened. You all, my beloved readers, have played a huge part in making this happen, from reading my sometimes putrid writing to taking the time to comment your feedback, support, and compliments.

I've been a writer since grade 1 (2001), and have written countless other pieces since. I've started dreaming of one day becoming an author since grade 9 (2009). I never imagined that 5 years later my wish would have come true. I still have a long way to go, but this first publication was a major leap for me. 

My objective for being a writer is simply to share my words with other people. My greatest joy is having my work read by others. It has never been to make money and I pray every night that I will never become desperate enough to bend that resolve. As such, for each book I publish I will select one charity or cause to support using my earnings from the respective book..

Enough rambling! I'll share the back cover text with you all.

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.

Chapter 46: This was a good read. I actually initially read it to see what it takes to be a published writer and now I realise that no matter what your taste in content or preference in writing style, all you really need is a love for what you are doing and the passion to see it to greater hights.
I enjoyed your storyline and the admire moral behind your story.

"Daring to desire doesn't mean taking a plunge into the abyss of the unknown darkness. If you truly believe in your ability to attain your dreams and fulfil your desires, daring to desire can only mean a lifetime of soaring towards the light that leads you; and in the proccess, attaining far greater things than what you were initially hoping to find...a reason to live as well as a shot at true happiness. Because without a dream those two things are irrelevent."

I hope you have success in your desired career;whether it be writing or whatever you may desire.
Thank you for this fic author Esther Lac :)
