April Author Interviews

Posted by: La-Tessa

I had the pleasure of interviewing two very lovely ladies, up & coming Christian author, Sherri Lewis and Genesis Press author, LaConnie Taylor-Jones, for this month’s Rising Star feature over at Romance In Color.   Both ladies share their journey to author-hood, how personal tragedy and challenges affected their writing, as well as, some great advice for authors.

Also, we are hosting a great book giveaway this month, featuring goodies from our April Rising Star authors. One lucky reader will receive:

An autographed set of Sherri Lewis’ published works, to include:

  1. Soul Cries Out (July 2007)
  2. Dance Into Destiny (January 2008)
  3. The List (March 2009)

An autographed set of LaConnie Taylor-Jones’ published works, to include:

  1. When I’m With You (November 2007)
  2. When A  Man Loves A Woman (April 2008)

Plus, to top it all off, LaConnie is throwing in a $50 Amazon gift card, so you can pick up a few additional titles :-) .

So head on over to www.RomanceInColor.com to read the interviews and to get the contest details. 

And while you’re visiting, check out the new reviews & vote for your favorite authors and books from 2008 in our Reader Favorite Awards.

    Hello La-Tessa,

    I enjoyed visiting your blog today. LaMonica Smith forwarded the link to me. Wish you a way to subscribe to updates so I could follow you’re progress on that WIP. :o)

    Don’t know if LaMonica shared. Our writer’s group is having a Virtual Writers Conference. Details are at http://fbfwritersofatlanta.eventbrite.com/

    Thanks,

    Rhonda

    Thanks Rhonda for visiting and I am thrilled you would even considering following my progress.

    I have been looking into getting an RSS feed added, but I am more than a bit technically challenged, but whenever I get it added, I will drop you a note.
