A Writer's Invitation to Readers
Look into my dreams
If you dare
As I open up the sky and infuse
Your mind
With the visions I see
Swirls of color in
Sunlit gardens
Stories like stone pathways
Beneath swaying trees
Mazes of emotion
A mystery for each shadowed corner
Led by words like wind over water
Or music from wild, untraveled lands
Take from my page these dreams
And make them yours
Look through my eyes and see
Memories ancient and distant as starlight
Near as the brush of earth
Against your hand
Come along with me
As I sing worlds into existence
And inscribe my soul into eternity.
Hi, I'm Alex. I write about loss, love, passion, power and what in Brasil is called saudades: profound, inexpressible longing. My writing blends serious young adult issues, romance, action, fantasy, and psychology. I was off Wattpad for most of 2016 due to personal issues. I will be returning in Spring of 2017 (Yep that means February or March!) with all new chapters of my books. I look forward to interacting with you all soon!
I invite you to follow me on Wattpad @alexkarola and explore my world.
Check out my brand new young adult novel, FREEDOM, on sale at Amazon.com.
What readers are saying about FREEDOM:
"If you liked "The Outsiders," you will love "Freedom." Alex writes with so much empathy and insight, you feel like you are inside the head of Stevie, the main character. This story not only shows the prejudices Native American students have to deal with, and the struggles of single mothers, it is truly redemptive on many levels."
"Beautiful and heartbreaking. When you read this book, and enter Stevie's and Freedom's world, be prepared for sudden violence, fierce loyalty, unchecked anger, selfless love, almost-unrecoverable devastation."
"Alex does a tremendous job of painting a picture that can be seen and felt. She captures the raw, intense emotions that lie right on the surface of these teens."
"An entertaining read with a lot of heart. In this book you will laugh, cry, and discover peace for a boy who truly deserves happiness."
If you read FREEDOM, I'd love to get your reviews on Goodreads and Amazon! I wrote this book with the intention of helping readers deal with and overcome loss. I hope to spread the word as wide as possible. I regularly donate proceeds to social causes. Check out alexkarola.com to see who I am currently donating to. <3
