Lenore Borja in conversation with Lauralyn Duff at Tattered Cover Book Store – Aspen Grove

Tattered Cover is pleased to welcome Lenore Borja who will be in conversation with Lauralyn Duff at our Aspen Grove location on November 17th at 6:00 pm. They will be discussing Borja's new book The Last Huntress! This event is free and open to the public.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Alice Daniels has a problem. Her reflection keeps misbehaving when she looks in the mirror--and the longer she ignores it, the harder it tries to get her attention. On her eighteenth birthday, she learns why: she is a huntress, someone gifted with the power to enter mirrors and the magical world that exists beyond. But with this power comes immense responsibility, for in the Mirror Realm lurks an evil that has infected the human race for centuries: demons. It is up to her and her three huntress sisters--with the help of one handsome and overbearing protector--to hunt and banish this evil one demon at a time, thereby keeping the chaos in check. But when an ancient god pays Alice a visit that turns deadly, it is clear the Mirror Realm is more than it seems, and she soon finds herself in a race against time to save the life--and soul--of the one man the gods are determined to never let her have.

The Last Huntress is a story of redemption and sacrifice, the bonds of true sisterhood, and the impossible, sometimes frightening, things we'll do for love.

I love a good love story. From slow burn to first sight, it doesn’t matter. Add in paranormal, fantasy, or dystopian elements, and I’m all in. These are the stories I crave, so naturally, they are the stories I write!

My love for writing started in the 8th grade when I wrote a short story about a girl on the Titanic. I loved imagining who she was, her hopes and dreams, and how she ended up on that ship. Of course, it wasn’t Rose and Jack (by a long shot), but it planted the seed that would eventually lead to my career as an author.

Oh, I took a few detours along the way. I was an actor. A bartender. A financial recruiter. A human resources professional. I was a lot of things. But one thing I never stopped being was a lover of books. While I might gravitate toward a specific genre, I’ll read anything that engages and captivates me. Historical, Thrillers, Rom-Coms, Post-Apocalyptic, Sci-Fi, Memoirs, Young Adult, I’ll devour them all! (Okay, maybe not cookbooks. I’m useless in the kitchen – ask my husband)

The point is, I love reading. I love immersing myself in another world for a while. Writing takes this one step further; it gives me the privilege of creating that world. And to be able to SHARE that world with you, the reader? That might be my favorite love story of all.

A few boring facts about me (because my characters are way more interesting):

  1. Birthplace: Kankakee, IL (though I mainly grew up in Phoenix, AZ)

  2. Favorite Book: Not possible to answer, but if my cat’s life were on the line, then I’d probably say Jane Eyre

  3. Favorite Movie: No. Can’t do it.

  4. Favorite Series: Tie between Lost and Friday Night Lights

  5. Spirit Animal: Cat, obviously

  6. Zodiac Sign: Gemini

  7. Most embarrassing moment: Listing these factoids
