This is the #1 bestselling book that started the Star Light
~ Star Bright series.
The lit star on Boulder’s Flagstaff Mountain is real. It’s
been lit at Christmas since I was a young child.
This story came
about one snowy night as I was sitting in my office watching the snow fall and
talking to my mother on the phone, telling her how much I still looked forward
to seeing the star every season.
She told me a
story about an incident at a neighborhood party where a man was grousing about
the star and how it was too Christian to be used. Mom looked at him and said
that she never thought about it being particularly religious in tone, but more
a symbol of hope and light.
Thus, my story
was born. Annie lives in approximately the same distance from the star that I
do, and the same proximity to Chautauqua Park. Guess what, I have the tall
Linden tree in my front yard!
The series
happened when I had quite a few readers contact me and tell me they wanted more
from the characters.
Incredibly
exciting stuff for an author to hear. I hope you enjoy this book that started
it all.

Review:
Annie is such a sweet character that has been desperately hurt and Cole

About L.A. Sartor
I started writing
as a child, really. A few things happened on the way to becoming a published
author … specifically, a junior high school teacher who told me I couldn’t
write because I didn’t want to study … urk … grammar.
That English
teacher stopped my writing for years. But the muse couldn’t be denied, and
eventually I wrote, a lot, some of it award winning. However, I wasn’t really
making a career from any of this.
My husband told me
repeatedly that independent publishing was becoming a valid way to publish a
novel. I didn’t believe him even after he showed me several Wall Street Journal articles. I thought
indie meant vanity press.
I couldn’t have
been more wrong.
I started pursuing
this direction seriously, hit the keyboard, learned a litany of new things and
published my first novel. My second book became a bestseller, and I’m
absolutely on the right course in my life. Email me at Leslie@LeslieSartor.com.
I’d love to hear from you.
