Authors supporting Authors

I had a fantastic weekend. I spent it in Kansas at the very first Midwest LDStorymakers Conference. I'll tell you all about it in another post. But first I want to mention that one of the things I came away with was the thought that we should support each other. We should cheer each other on. We should help each other have success.

Now obviously as authors, we can't go around buying every author's book. We'd love to. We want to. We just can't. But we can support each other in other ways, specifically with social media and spreading the word. Nothing sells a book like word of mouth.

So with that in mind, I want to announce Justine Dell's newest book! Here she is, in all her glory. And here's her book cover. Isn't it AMAZING? Let's all just admit that we judge books by their covers. We pick them up if the cover intrigues us. And sometimes we buy them just because of the cover. Well, this one makes me drool.

Book Blurb: Ten years, the Atlantic Ocean, and several rungs in society have kept Xavier Cain from having Sophia Montel. Now twenty-seven, he’s spent his entire adult life building a fashion empire that could finally prove his worth to her family. When fate reunites him with Sophia at London’s premiere fashion show, one problem lodges in Xavier’s path: Sophia doesn’t remember him. 

Author Bio: Justine lives in the Midwest, happily catering to her family, which consists of a horse-obsessed teenage daughter and four crazy dogs. She’s never moved from her hometown, but hopes to grow old in a much warmer climate. During the day she works a normal job with college students who try their best to keep her young. She started writing three years ago after seeing a movie that set off a chain reaction she couldn’t have stopped if she’d wanted. It’s not a hobby for her; it’s an obsession. One she loves and one she loves to share.

Anyone in Kansas?

If you live near Overland Park, Kansas, I want to tell you about an awesome book signing coming your way!

This Friday, Sept. 14, at the Oak Park Mall, there will be an AUTHORPALOOZA from 7-9pm. I don't even know how many authors will be there, but there will be lots! Including me! There will be a Q&A session, prizes, and treats!

I hope you'll come, and invite all your friends! A party is always best with more people! I'm so excited!

Book Bomb: Faith, Hope, and Gravity

Faith, Hope and Gravity is the spiritual, magical adventure of teenage Liam Kane as he discovers some of the same lessons Merrill Osmond learned as the world-traveling lead singer of the Osmond Brothers. Merrill, like Liam, was often misunderstood for his visionary quests to understand those who looked for answers to life's questions. Liam's talents gain him international notoriety as "The Prophecy Boy" who swims with dolphins, dreams of a mysterious red door, and champions those who are misunderstood. Surviving kidnapping, near-drowning, and imprisonment ultimately leads to the discovery that despite inherent differences, when people respect one another's unique abilities, the thread of commonality that runs through mankind grows ever stronger. Turn the pages and join the unforgettable journey.

Merrill Osmond is a world-class entertainer, producer, author, motivational speaker and renowned lead singer of the Osmonds. Merrill and his siblings have produced 47 platinum & gold records and Merrill has written the lyrics for five #1 hit records. Merrill is a co-founder of the Osmond Foundation, which originally produced “The Children’s Miracle Network” Telethon. He has produced presidential inaugural events for both Reagan & Bush. Merrill is excited to release his first novel, Faith, Hope & Gravity.

Shirley Bahlmann has written a wide variety of genres, including historical fiction, novels, biographies, how-to, and how-not-to books. One of her favorites is a children’s book titled “When the Chicken Crossed the Road” which comes with instructions and a chicken-colored washcloth so you can roll your own chicken! Shirley finds the most annoying thing about being a prolific writer is sleep, because she’d rather be writing.
