Fractured Facade book trailer:
.
 | The peaceful life in Southwest Virginia that Marie had taken for granted is shattered the moment she receives a phone call from her brother, “I just got a call from a detective. Daddy’s dead.”
After rushing to her family home in Brooklyn, New York, Marie seeks answers to her father’s mysterious death. Instead, disturbing revelations are revealed. Marie is not surprised upon realizing her suspicions and unheeded warnings concerning her father’s ex were true. She is astonished, however, when she discovers how oblivious so many others are to the wily ways of the crafty con artist. Inheriting her father’s scheming, ex-girlfriend becomes a journey Marie never imagined she’d be forced to travel. |

In breaking away from the conventional format of what one might expect from an author’s book release event, Elena DeRosa, local author of the recently published eBook “Fractured Façade,” and Roanoke Public Libraries, are collaborating to present “NYC...Live in Roanoke!”
The author won’t be signing any books, but through vignettes, will share her journey, and the stage. Rather than read a chapter or two from her book, the author endeavors to create a bridge between the tale’s settings of Roanoke, VA and Brooklyn, NY, through the talents of other independent artists. Inspired by a New York City theme, musicians will perform live and visual artists’ exhibit their work.
The evening, “NYC...Live in Roanoke!” promises to continue the tradition of Roanoke Public Libraries celebrating our creative community, showcasing talent through unique events that have become synonymous with the downtown library. We're hoping that this event will be the pinnacle of events so far at Roanoke Main Library in terms of cultural creativity.
In the spirit of the holiday season, a request is made to bring a new toy to be donated to TOYS FOR TOTS, as well as a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Rescue Mission.
A big part of the inspiration for this event came from a recent blog post titled:
