Project Tell Taylor



Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

Listen up! All you writers out there, how many of you have unraveled whole novels in your head from one song? Michelle did, and Remembrance is based on the Taylor Swift song "Love Story".

I think this is just so cool! If I were a singer, I would definitely want to know if someone wrote a BOOK based on one of my songs. It would be such a huge honor. So that's what this project is all about. It is our mission to let her know about all this going on.


So here's from the host blog post:


As a lot of you know by now, my debut novel Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. I talked all about it in a blog entry a few months ago, discussing how Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. I even wrote a letter to Taylor Swift and sent it to her, along with a signed book!

It's been a few months now, and I have yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. I don't even know if she ever saw it (I kind of doubt she did). 

I really want to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to me, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach. This is where YOUR help comes into play! I am giving away the biggest prize pack I've offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.
The Goal: Get Taylor Swift to Tweet about Remembrance!


Got your attention now? Cool! Go here to read the whole post.


Here are a few things that inspire me:

1: Things like this. Dreams and big campaigns and getting lots of people to try to get one person's attention. It's amazing.
 2: Several books. Particularly Christmas stories. My favorite inspirational books: What child is this by Caroline B. Cooney and Paper Angels by Jimmy wayne.



Before I go off, a few more things:

In My Mailbox

In my Mailbox is a little something thought up and hosted by the story siren. I thought I'd give it a shot. So this week, in my mailbox, I have:


 Spy Goddess Manga Volume 1: Chase for the Chalice by Michael Spradlin
Spy Goddess (TokyoPop)
 Originally, this series was in novel form. I actually emailed the author, and he explained how sales weren't going so hot so they (the publishers) tried manga. It's a good series, though, I wish there was more to  this.



 Spy Goddess Manga volume 2: Quest for the lance by Michael Spradlin
 The Quest for the Lance
 This is the last ever spy goddess book that is out there. :( Time for fanfiction?



 EBooks:


 Pandora's Reading Room by Pandora Poikilos


Paper Angels by Jimmy Wayne and Travis Thrasher

Paper Angels  


 The Mind Readers By Lori Brighton  -- Free on amazon right now
