I'm holding onto hope that one day this could be made right
'Cause I've been shipwrecked
and left for dead
and I have seen the darkest sights
Everyone I've loved seems like a stranger in the night
But, oh, my heart still burns
Tells me to return
and search the fading light
I'm sailing home to you
I won't be long
By the light of moon
I will press on
Until I find my love
Trouble has beset my ways and wicked winds have blown
Sirens call my name
They say they'll ease my pain
Then break me on the stones
But true love is the burden that will carry me back home
Carry me with the memories of the beauty I have known
I'm sailing home to you
I won't be long
By the light of moon
I will press on
Until I find my love
So tie me to the mast of this old ship and point me home
Before I lose the one I love
Before my chance is gone
I want to hold her in my arms
- Ulysses by Josh Garrels

I'm an actress, singer, dancer, and writer. I'm also a freelance journalist, a publicist, a bookseller, and a webdesigner. This LiveJournal, for the most part, pertains to books - book reviews, exclusive interviews with authors, press releases, and booklists. My journal has an emphasis on teen fiction, though there are plenty of items for adult fiction and for juvenile fiction (or "kidlit") as well.
