Liberty States Fiction Writers

So I want to share about an organization that I joined a few months back called Liberty States Fiction Writers http://www.libertystatesfictionwriters.com/

It's a great organization who's members range from published authors to non-published aspiring writers like myself. The workshops are wonderful and the speakers they bring in are top notch.  I've met a lot of great people & always look forward to their meetings because I always learn something new.  I feel pretty fortunate to have a group like this close to home & that I have access to people who have actually been thru the trenches.  

So anyway wanted to say kudos to LSFW I'm so glad I found you.

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

http://www.josephineangelini.com/books.php

Finished reading Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

Here's a synopsis directly from  the book:

Helen Hamilton has always tried to hide how different she is—no easy feat on an island as small as Nantucket, and only getting harder as she finds herself haunted by hallucinations and vivid nightmares. It's not until she crosses paths with Lucas Delos at school that Helen's true heritage is finally revealed. Yet even as Lucas helps her awaken to her startling powers, they can never be together—not unless they can break free from the tragic destiny the Three Fates have in store.

Loved this book, it was a nice change from all the other Young Adults out there because this one brings in Greek mythology. I'm not sure if there's a book 2 but sure hope so.

So now I picked up Passion by Lauren Kate (book about fallen angels) so looking forward to reading it. I have a weakness for bad boy angels.

Happy 4th of July...

Here we have a girl gazing into her hands filled with water (wish i had the link for who shot this but no such luck because I always like to give props to the originator). Anyway it's a great shot, I love the gypsy inspired outfit & the gazing into the water reminds me of my book. Maybe sometime in the future I'll redo this shot (could be fun).

Some things don’t last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.

Sometimes it’s hard to say what you feel, so try writing it.....
