Revolutionary Pictures

This week's Road Trip Wednesday prompt, hosted by YA Highway, is:
What images inspire/ represent your WIP or favorite book?

Hmm, what to choose?

So right now, I'm working on Jessica Book 2. I did a bare beginning of a new YA Fantasy WIP before putting it aside because I need way more world-building before I start. Instead I've been jotting notes and paragraphs down on a completely different YA contemporary WIP. For starters, here are some pictures that inspire Jessica Book 2- my Daze and Knights sequel.





And instead of a picture, this is a teaser of what's inspiring my new YA contemp WIP:

  1. Your WIPs sound (look?) amazing! The image of the house on fire is a powerful one and what a rich time period to tackle. And a Les Miz inspired contemp? That sounds incredible!

  2. Hum, Alex Pettyfer on a historical: YUM!
    Your story looks very interesting. Love historical with war and despair (the house on fire, I'm guessing) ... Great ;)

  7. OMG! Les Misérables! Love it! I love the musical - my older sister listened to it on tape when I was a teenie and I knew ALL the songs by heart. BF turned Hubby and I went to see it in DC a few years back and wow! Now you got me very very very curious on that project...
    Anyways :D I also really like your pictures! They look quite dramatic!

  8. Les Misérables was the first show of that calibre that I ever got to see (I saw it at the Palace theatre in London). I am so excited for the new movie version coming out later this year! I think you were the one who mentioned it in the first place...

    The pics you've posted for your WiP are great and make me want to know more :)
