title: Read the Flower: Part One
author:  Alexandra Lanc 
description: <i><span>I really loved starting work on this title. It's a novel that I wrote years ago, and have now picked up for re-writing. A lot of it is centered around the fact that I had recently read Dracula when I first wrote it, and that I love anything dark and gothic. It is, to me, a great story of growing up, and finding strength even in the hardest of places.</span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span>Plus, I'm thrilled that my readers will be able to have a say in where this story goes!</span></i>
