1st Published Novel! "The Stargazer's Scrapbook"

Roses are Red

Dear Roses are Red readers. I have exciting news to share with you all, & I hope you can spare two minutes of your time for me. (:

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.
