This Heart of Mine

A new heart saved her life―but will it help her find out what really happened to its donor?

C. C. Hunter's This Heart of Mine is a haunting, poignant tale about living and dying, surviving grief, guilt, and heartache, while discovering love and hope in the midst of sadness.

Seventeen-year-old Leah MacKenzie is heartless. An artificial heart in a backpack is keeping her alive. However, this route only offers her a few years. And with her rare blood type, a transplant isn’t likely. Living like you are dying isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But when a heart becomes available, she’s given a second chance at life. Except Leah discovers who the donor was ― a boy from her school ― and they’re saying he killed himself. Plagued with dreams since the transplant, she realizes she may hold the clues to what really happened.

You’ve mastered writing, and finally have a grasp on story development, but those rejections haven’t stopped. Without a strong character to hold up your plot and prose, a book can, andprobably will, fail.
Come hear New York Times author, Christie Craig, author of thirty-nine books, a proclaimed character-driven writer, do an in-depth talk about how plot, setting, and conflict can and maybe should start in the building-character stage of writing.
She’ll offer tips on: how to make your characters jump off the page and into the hearts of yourreaders. How to make them lovable—even when they’re bad. How to plagiarize from your own life to offer richness to your scenes. Goals, flaws, fears, conflicts, plot development, setting,
even dialogue, it all stems from character. Using simple techniques, she teaches how to create engaging characters that are the building blocks in which a whole novel can be developed.
After giving your brain a workout, this southern spitfire, who has received thousands of rejections, is gonna give the waning writer in you a good swift kick in the pants.
Entertain, Educate and Motivate, this is one workshop every writer will not want to miss.
