Author Reading at the Library

If you were down at the lake today instead of the library, you missed out on a great Author Reading! Shawna Moore, local author, read a selection from her first book, "House of Dreams".

Here's a description of her novel:

Fifteen year old Jesse Fuller is forced to move from the big city into an old, abandoned house in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. To top it off, she is forced to share a room with her little brother! The first night, Jesse finds her sleep disturbed by strange and vivid dreams. She soon learns from the other kids in her class that the house she now lives in has a mysterious past.

First driven by curiosity, Jesse starts to dig deeper into its history, to understand why she is plagued by these dreams, and learns that her own family story may be tied up in it. Before long she finds herself on a desperate quest for a talisman that she believes will help her escape the dreams and forget what she knows about the house.

Shawna started working on this book 9 years ago, and recently got to see her dream of publishing come true. We're happy she chose to share her story with us!

Two lucky kids went home with a free, SIGNED copy of her book today. I even bought one for myself!

 

We hope to have Shawna back again to read a selection of her book again soon! Look for our copy in the library soon!
