Bits and Blours

CFBA is featuring both Awaken My Heart by DiAnn Mills and A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman this week. Be sure to check them out!

I also found out recently that my editor for the author profiles is no longer with the publication, so I'm not sure if I'll be continuing them. I hope I can!

CSFF Tour - Auralia's Colors

You may remember that I introduced Auralia's Colors by Jeffrey Overstreet almost two months ago. This week the Christian Science Fiction Fantasy Blog Tour is also featuring this debut novel. I still haven't gotten a chance to read it, but I have read the first chapter, which is awesome. It reminds me a lot of The Whipping Boy, one of my favorite books from childhood, in its use of language and word choice. Visit the book's site and the blogs below to learn more!
