Signed Copies

Hey Everyone:

I finally have some copies of my novel Nina. So if anyone is interested in getting a personalized and signed copy send me an email at lizdejesus23@yahoo.com . The book is $12.99. Shipping and Handling will be included.

Here's a blurb:

Nina is the moving story of a work of art that comes to life and of how she affects the lives of those around her. After several miscarriages, Rachel Ramirez, a brilliant but tragic artist, secludes herself and begins a series of paintings based on her lost child, naming each painting 'Nina'. One of them (the title character) comes to life inside her canvas. She is able to see and hear the world around her. Even though Nina has innate wisdom, there are still many things that she doesn't understand. When Rachel commits suicide, Nina is thrown into the confusing world, and her painting is passed around to others. But as Nina progresses from Rachel's mother to a buyer named Anna, she keeps learning, and eventually is able to leave her canvas and enter the world. She meets Elijah (mostly in dreams or inside her canvas), who acts as her guide, and tells her of her fate. She has one year to decide whether to join the rest of the world, beginning life anew, or to remain a painting forever.

And here are some of the reviews Nina has recieved since it's release:

Many religions believe that the soul exists before birth. What if your soul was created, but you were not born? Nina, the desperately desired daugther of her mother, was left exactly in that predicament. Yet her mother's death leads to the events that lead to Nina's spiritual - and literal - birth into our world.
A child painted by her mother's brush grows into a rich character whose descriptions of the world are as broad and detailed as a painter's own work.
"Nina" is a brief excursion into how the universe may make right what goes wrong.

Liz DeJesus has captured a true essence with her debut novel, Nina. Not only is it compelling and makes you turn the page every step of the way, the story is told masterfully.
I'm very skeptical about debuts, but not about this one.
This story is of a woman longing to live a life, striving to be her own person, and with that, Liz captured a truly remarkable story.
I would be on the lookout for her for many, many years to come.
Nina is fantastic, heart-pounding and truly amazing.

--Joseph McGee, author of In the Wake of the Night, Phil's Place, and Snow Hill (June 2008)

Nina is an enchanting novel, poles apart, superb and striking. The voice of mystery is up and running from the beginning. The story never let's go as it paint's a picture of love and anonymity. A fantasy like no other. What better to ask from an author of the genre?
