MY NOVEL, CROOKED MOON, IS NOW AVAILABLE IN PRINT VERSION (trade paperback) and Kindle e-version at AMAZON.com. Just do a search for CROOKED MOON to find listings or use links on my website: www.lisettebrodey.com

..As children, Frankie Cavalese and Callie Mason were the very best of friends, growing up together on opposite walls of a row home in a blue-collar neighborhood of Philadelphia called Rainytown. The friendship they shared was special - the kind that storybook heroines had - and neither ever considered the possibility of it not lasting forever. But after high school, life interfered and circumstances separated them as they each went on to live drastically different lives.

Twenty-three years later, one hot Rainytown summer, the lives of these women suddenly come crashing back together. To complicate the fragile reunion, Callie's marriage is suddenly at risk, further complicated by the affections of (and attraction to) Frankie's brother, Paulie. Tensions and passions explode in the sweltering heat, and amidst pain and tragedy, each woman not only ends up with a life-altering secret regarding the other, but the burning question of what to do with it.

PRAISE FOR CROOKED MOON:Lisette Brodey skillfully balances and juggles plot and character development in Crooked Moon, giving the reader deliciously likable and menacingly evil characters interacting within a story that threatens to destroy all their lives. After reading Crooked Moon, you'll think twice about what you know about yourself.

My latest novel, SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO: Darla McKendrick is nine when she first hears her mother and her aunt Didi secretly discussing their younger sister, Rebecca, speculating about her life in squalor. From the moment Darla asks to know more about her mysterious aunt, she is offered nothing but half-truths, distortions, and evasions. As Darla grows into her teen years, her life is oddly yet profoundly affected by this woman she has never known. She can’t help but notice that Rebecca seems to exist only in dark corners of conversations and that no one ever wants to talk about her—with Darla. Neither Darla nor her three cousins have a clue about their aunt, yet their respective parents appear to recoil in fear at the sound of her name.

SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO is a coming-of-age story shrouded in family mystery. As the plot takes twists and turns, secrets are revealed not only to Darla but to the “secret keepers” as well. Darla learns that families are only as strong as the truths they hold and as weak as the secrets they keep.

The Kindle (eBook) edition of this novel is out NOW! Print edition to be published late spring/early summer 2009!

And here's another book I love . . .

If you're looking to be uplifted and inspired, please check out this amazing memoir by my friend Ward Foley, THANK MY LUCKY SCARS! You can visit Ward's MySpace page: WardFoley or go to his website at WardFoley.com. This book is truly something special, offering an extraordinary kind of hope and faith, beautifully sprinkled with Ward's special brand of humor.

About me:
lisette_-brodey Made with My Cool Signs.Net

I have been writing since I can remember. Growing up, I was always writing something. I created many a little magazine, wrote piles of poems, began several books, stories and was always an avid letter writer. However, despite my strong proclivity to write, my youthful dream was to be an actress. I majored in Drama for a while and did some theater, but I knew that I was much better suited to be a writer. Of course, many who know me well will maintain I AM an actress, but it's not the career I sought out. :-)

I went through a lot of ups and downs with my writing. I went through long periods where I couldn't write. Being truly introspective and then being honest with myself helped me to figure out how to write a novel from beginning to end. I have two completed novels. Both CROOKED MOON and SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO are available in both the trade paperback & Kindle editions on Amazon.com. I am currently working on a third novel, and have many other projects in the works. I also have a play, which I wrote many years ago, BARRIE HILL REUNION, which some day I might just novelize. I keep notebooks with all of my ideas. It freaks me out to go anywhere without something to write with and something to write on!

I have a very eclectic group of wonderful friends. Each and every one of them is very important to me; each person has his/her unique gifts to share and I never take any of them for granted.

I'd like to meet many of my dear friends that I know so well, yet have never met in person.

On MySpace, first and foremost, I'd like to meet nice people. I like sincere, intelligent, funny, thoughtful, open-minded people of all ages and backgrounds. Especially those who love animals and people involved in literary/artistic pursuits! I am a huge supporter of musicians, but I'm not really interested in any more requests from bands or singers who simply want me to be one more number on their page. What's the point? I really prefer it when would-be friends take a moment to include a note with their friend requests. If I have no clue why someone is contacting me, I will deny the request. Thank you. If you want me to accept you as a friend, just so that you can immediately plaster an advertisement on my page, please don't send me a request. I love hearing from people, but my comment section is not a billboard for strangers to use at their whim. Thank you.

Thanks Lisette,
Happy Thanksgiving to you
and yours. I’m having the crew over
here, but everyone is bringing dishes so it’s not all on me. My daughter took this darling pic of my two
yr old grandbaby Colin. We still have
some color here and there in the trees. But fall is winding down and winter soon
be upon us.
