I want to tell you about a very amazing person. Angie Lofthouse is one of the people that encouraged me to being the writing journey and has helped me every step along the way by cheering me on and critiquing for me. She is the pacing queen and I haven't met a character of hers that I haven't loved. But the best thing about "Brierly's Lillies" is the world that she's created. So often in fantasy, you feel like you need to get to know a new place. With "Brierly's Lillies" you feel like you are a part of the world right from the beginning. She takes the familiar, such as Brierly's wedding, and builds all the unfamiliar around it so nothing feels unnatural. I highly recommend checking out "Brierly's Lillies", or any of the rest of work. I'm sure you'll fall in love with it as I have.
As an added incentive, Angie is running a contest which I am helping her promote.
"Brierly's Lilies" first appeared in Dragons, Knights, and Angels in April 2006. Readers called it, "A compelling story . . . Very well done."
"Lilies," Brierly had said with a wistful smile, so Tiann went out for lilies. She jogged home in the warm spring sunshine instead of porting, and saw by chance the old woman standing in the path.
So begins an adventure that will take Tiann across the ages to time to save the past and the future.

Nice, Tiffany! I would have been holding Irises if I'd had fresh flowers at my wedding. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, let's see. It's a long time ago now, but I remembering choosing a bouquet of red roses and white carnations for my wedding.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nisa. You're so sweet. =) I had white roses as I recall. Funny how it's hard to remember. Daisies are my favorite, though. Good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteI had roses and lilies in my bouquet, and yet it was a simpler bouquet than my mom and the florist wanted me to have. We were married in a little brick church, and then the reception was in my parents back yard, filled with lush garden flowers (I spent a few weeks that summer helping them with gardening and landscaping). For me, the flowers at the wedding that I noticed the most were the ones at our reception, and not the ones in my bouquet.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I loved the story!
ReplyDeleteThis is hands down my favorite of Angie's stories!! I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteFlowers: I held pink roses, and had roses and daisies on the table. They were so pretty and happy! And! I just happened to be 10 years ago today that I held those flowers!! :)
I love a good Happily Ever After! I'm a tulip girl, myself!
ReplyDeleteAs I was saying before blogger decided to blackout, I love irises and would have used them at my wedding if I'd been able to afford fresh flowers.
ReplyDeletei love this story
ReplyDeleteif i had gotten married i would have been holding tulips & daisies & the bridsmaids would have been holding sunflowers & on the tables all doffernt kinds of flowers
I know that I had roses and carnations in my wedding bouquet, but I had to check the pictures in order to remember that the roses were red and the carnations were white, and not the other way around. Yeah, it's been a while. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy first boyfriend's mother actually did the flowers for our wedding. They were beautiful silk roses, and my favorite part was then she used them to decorate the cake. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my favorite of all Angie's stories!! I just love it!!

I really love this story; it's so beautiful and heartfelt, and I love how the cockatrice wasn't an evil creature as it is so often portrayed.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what I'll do for my bouquet. Something simple, probably with lots of baby's breath.
I'm loving this blog tour! A story a day is so fun.
ReplyDeleteMy flowers were all fake I think. I don't remember much about that day except the peace I felt when I looked in my husband's eyes.
Thanks you, guys. I love your comments!
