My name is Vangie WIlliams and I live in King George, Virginia. I have written Broken Life - A fight for Forever - Book 1 (10 book series). I want to team up with other Virginia authors and have a book club/book fair/book signing with several Virginia writers.

My book Broken Life - A Fight for Forever is about love cursed in Old Africa. A young African maiden falls in love with a Frenchman captured by her father's warriors. As she watches and cares for him over the next twenty-one days, she is captivated by his beautiful green eyes and his genuine smile and breaks tribal law when she asks her father to be his bride instead of her chosen husband. Her father King Sundiata could not refuse his youngest daughter and allows her to leave Africa with the Frenchman; what she doesn't know is that the tribal shaman has placed a curse on her and all of her female descendants. "21 suns you feel in love and left your people, 21 moons shall you love your girl child".
Jump forward to our time and young Bethel began having dreams of African and French women who speak to her and show her the paths of their lives.

Broken Life - A Fight for Forever - Book 1 is about Marguerite, the third women in her dreams and the woman who writes the first entry in the journal that her deceased mother left her. Her dreams are so vivid that she is a shadow watching the past in the future.

This is a romantic tale of steamy passion and boiling fervor, which also wraps itself in the arms of virtually unexplored history. Moreover, this zeal-filled story crosses time, racial, cultural lines as well as the vast Atlantic. From generation to generation, a special lineage of rare love is interrupted, entwined lives are broken, and fragile dreams are shattered because of an unrelenting curse rooted in the motherland. Yet, the rigorous fight to break the curse's menacing grip steadily climaxes as young Bethel gains wisdom through her visions as well as the truths spoken from her father’s reluctant tongue. And then there is the cherished wooden box, a treasured but mysterious heirloom, which connects Bethel to both the curse and a counter to the same. Upon possessing the box, she discovers the nearly elusive path to victory. Through a series of visions, which first take her to the mid 1800’s, she sees the way…

Hello Dawn/Jessica
Welcome. I hope we can get communications going in this group. Jessica, I'd like the information about the book signing in Hampton.

I wish I had thought to post earlier. The Virginia Festival of the Book is this week, March 18-23 in Charlottesville. This is a must-see event as there are a lot of authors to network with there, including John Grisham. (I will be on a panel on Thursday if anyone is attending).
I also received an email about a book signing event in Hampton on May 2. If anyone is near there and wants to know about it, contact me and I'll see if I can find the info. I have a conflict so couldn't attend. (writefromthepast(at) yahoo.com
I'll try to pay more attention when I get invitations to attend events. I'm from Gettysburg, but since my book is set in VIrginia, do most of my signings down there.

Hello Alicia,
I look forward to connecting with other writers in Virginia. Did you attend the James River Writer's conference in October? Thank you for the information on the Richmond Times, I'll look into it.
