Black 'n' Gold Girl's Book Spot

I. Am. So. Excited! My friend, Amber Stokes, blogger turned self-pubbed author, is releasing yet another book in her "The Heart's Spring" series. I just loved Bleeding Heart (read my review HERE ) and have high hopes for Morning Glory , the third book in the series. I don't know about you, but I think that 2014 is going to be an amazing year for books. With all the books I mentioned in my New Year's post a few days ago and now Amber's book, I'm definitely going to have to set aside even more time to read. Woohoo! Take a look at the cover for Morning Glory below, and if you're so inclined, please leave a comment with your thoughts. I'm sure Amber will love seeing them if she stops by! While you wait for the release of the book in August, don't forget to check out Bleeding Heart if you haven't already and visit the newly unveiled Morning Glory site: http://morningglorynovel.blogspot.com  and the series site: http://theheartsspringseries...

Howdy! First off, let me apologize for the dust. I'm currently in the process of updating and redesigning the look of my blog. I'm SO picky about getting just the right look so the process may take a few days. The current look is not final. I changed the template at least 5 times yesterday, so please bear with me. If you have any hints and tips for using HTML or finding a terrific template, please share them with me in the comment section. Thanks to tips I've already received from fellow bloggers (here's looking at you Rissi !) I think this blog will eventually look even better than it did!

For a very limited time (Sept. 9 - 12), Bleeding Heart by my good friend Amber Stokes is available FREE for Kindle! I encourage you to check out this great book on Amazon and if you love it, leave a review! If e-books aren't your thing, you can purchase a paperback copy for just $9.49 (price subject to change). Either way, Bleeding Heart is a lovely debut Christian novel that's worth a read! Remember, to double check prices before you buy!

In the blogging world it so often happens that you come across readers with the same tastes as you, but it doesn't often happen that you become friends with said readers and get to follow them on their blogging journey AND their journey to become a published author. I've been lucky enough to meet not one but two up and coming authors -- first, Keli Gwyn , when I first started out blogging who's now author of A Bride Opens Shop in El Dorado, California, and now a second blogger turned writer, Amber Stokes author of Bleeding Heart and it's yet-to-be-released prequel, Forget Me Not ! Please take a few minutes to "meet" Amber below and check out my thoughts on her debut novel too. I'm sure Amber will be stopping by so if you'd like to leave a comment for her, please do! Meet Amber Stokes, Author of Bleeding Heart!  ~ How long did it take you to write Bleeding Heart?  About 2 years – but that’s because I was only working on it off and on durin...
