Holiday Gift Guide: Your Novel

Nov 24, 2011 | Rita

I have been searching and searchin gfor the perfect gift for my mom. She is so hard to buy for which means we all usually end of getting her a new robe, coffeepot or the other basic sort of gifts. The bigger problem is that her birthday is the week before Christmas. So on top of Christmas gifts I have ot get her a birthday present.  I  have found the best gift ever in Your Novel!  Your Novel is a truly unique concept. It is a romance novel that makes you the main character1

From Your Novel Website:

YourNovel.com Inc. is the brainchild of husband/wife writing team Kathy M. Newbern and J.S. Fletcher, who write together as Fletcher Newbern. They not only developed the concept and founded the company in 1992, but have written 20 of the 28 current novels available. When not writing romance, they work as travel writers, have visited every continent,  and have visited many of the exotic locations that are the settings for their personalized romance novels.

TESTING Your Novel:

I received a novel to review that I had customized for my parents. My dad passed away a few years ago and my mom has always had a hard time with it. I received Awake, My Love  which is set in their hometown and because of a car accident they have the chance the answer the question: “What would happen if you lost everyting?” Dreams are used to show them at different times and places such as a cowboy and Miss Kittty in the Wild West. You have the choice of either a “wild” or a “mild” novel depending on your tastes. I went with the wild and I will tell you now that I did not read the book because seeig my parents names in the romance scenes would have caused me to need therapy! I did read a page here and ther and the story seeems great. I entered different information such as where they worked, their best friends names, etc. Everything is used in the book. A picture of them is also on the cover. I also added in a dedication form all of us kids in the front.

 

PROS of Your Novel:

  • Unique, fun gift for yourself or someone special
  • Your choice of papaerpack, paperback with photo, hard cover, hardcover with photo
  • Plenty of stories to choice from

 

CONS of Your Novel:

  • I would love to have one or two in Spanish

    I loved this book so much that I didn’t intend to put aside Bryce Courtenay’s best selelr in favour of readading “The Wayadward Child”. This book is surely difadferadent and unlike any other book I’ve read, due to the way it’s writadten. It has pace and quickly changading conadflicts that leave no room for boreaddom. Its’ Charadacadters are vivid, the wordading is clear and eleadgant, peradsonadally I’ve never become so emoadtionadally attached to a book.I’d often find myself cryading or laughading (and I mean out aloud).There are many ups and downs in life that this book couldn’t explain betadter. It’s poignant and emoadtional and there’s plenty of strong diaadlogue to this story along with expressading immense visuadals (I mean on the edge of your seat). The advenadture of this book is toiled into the unceradtainty of the strugadgle to overadcome so many difadferadent obstaadcles going on simuladtaadneadously.Rita Lowther is a very taladented story teller givading us intiadmate details of her childadhood. We foradget how hard life was not so long ago and most of us wouldn’t have expeadriadenced… now in our world of great abunaddance.This “The Wayadward Child” has sigadnifadiadcantly raised the bar.It is superb and comes across as an extremely sinadcere account of her Childhood
