She went inside one of the classy function rooms of Instituto Cervantes with much poise, charm and eloquence. Her face was shining like a magical star, her smiles were ready and sincere. As she walked further, a blogger stood and shook hands with her. The rest of the other movie writers followed. Pictures were taken, and afterwards, selfie-selfie mode, too. One glittering event book launch was about to start.
Amidst a heavy dinner meal of Paella, breaded shrimps and squids, mouth-watering cold boiled eggs and much more stuff, media people were so much pleased with the great outcome of the event. And more curious about the "main star" of the night.
SHE'S NO LESS THAN MS. LOU BARON, ONE FAMOUS LOS-ANGELES-BASED SINGER WHO'S NOW REVEALING ONE MORE HIDDEN ASPECT OF HER SOUL- THAT IS, WRITING NOVELS.
'Writing was my first love, and singing comes-in only second", Lou told the media people during the Q & A portion of the book-launching event. "I became a writer first before I started to sing. I finished my two novels first before I ventured into becoming a recording star in L.A."
So, that must have been TWO LIVES, indeed.
As Ms. Lou Baron further told the media peole who were there, she first wrote the book SCRIPTED IN HEAVEN first, before she wrote the PREQUEL to it- and that is, the book entitled I CALLED MYSELF CASSANDRA.
Scripted In Heaven is more visionary and spiritual in approach, because it happened in Lou's life after being totally free-wheeling, passionate and lustful (and that past life was told in her book I Called Myself Cassandra). The novel's about the miraculous intercession of Padre Pio ( a Catholic Saint) who relied to a woman that interceded about Lou's husband having a sickness- to which they both ignored. It was a true story- but "scripted in heaven".
Meanwhile, the second book and a "prequel" (which means, the story in this second novel happened before the first novel)- is about Lou"s rebellious ways, nights of partying, a black sexy dress that revealed it all.
"Yeah, the second book is sexy and lustful", Lou told the media people. "Better not let your boyfriends read about it. Ha!Ha! Ha!"
TWO NOVELS.
"My style in writing is more simple and precise", Lou continued on saying when a blogger asked her about her style of writing. "It's concise and intact. Not much elaborate. I write at night on my bed. With my paper and ballpen. I don't type. I let others type it after. You see, when ideas and good words come into your mind, it may skip out easily. So you must write them at once. At night, everything's smooth and easy. My mind more relaxed and romantic."
TWO TALENTS.
Lou is giving ample time now on her books, but right after that, she's concentrating on recording some songs here in the Philippines. A young and handsome record producer was seen during her book launch by the name of Lester Klumee Vario, who's so eager in producing the songs for Lou. Alongside with it, Lou will also appear in one indie film and it will be revealed soon.
"But in the meantime, let's focus on my books", Lou told everyone. "This is actually the relaunching of my two books because we've gotten a new publisher- the LitFire Publishing House. They're now coordinating with Power Books and National Bookstore for the marketing of my books. But back in L.A., my books can be read online."
LOU BARON: TWO LIVES, TWO NOVELS, TWO TALENTS.
One life that's spectacular and famous- other life that's private, succesful and loving.
Married to a surgeon for many years now, this Filipina excelled far beyond that. An inspiring story that's really ONE FOR THE BOOKS.
With two novels out to be read by her fellow kababayans, the more awe's and wonderment to be felt.
Two talents magnify Lou-
Just like
two hearts
that
linger....
FOREVER.
