GIVEAWAY!!

The Color of My Heart by Sarah Martin Byrd ~ Interview & Giveaway

Living in the foothills of North Carolina, Laura Carter has it all: a nice home, wonderful adoptive parents, two lovely teenage daughters, and a to-die-for handsome husband. As they celebrate freedom on the Fourth of July, she’s certain that nothing could ever shatter her perfect American life: Or could it?

An unexpected letter from her great-grandmother brings Laura face-to-face with her birth family. At their first, shocking meeting, she receives a stack of diaries that trace a heartbreaking voyage from Africa to Jekyll Island, Georgia, via a slave ship. Thanks to the missionary who lived with her ancestors in Africa and taught them how to speak and write English, Laura holds in her hands a gripping record of their lives.

The Adventures of Tilda Pinkerton ~ Book 1: Crash-Landing on Ooleeoo by Angela Shelton ~ GIVEAWAY

The Adventures of Tilda Pinkerton
is for the smart reader – the precocious child and the clever adult
Middle Grade Fantasy for grades 5 and up

What if the thing you’re most insecure about is what saved the world?

The most embarrassing secret Tilda Pinkerton, the magical hat maker, keeps hidden from the children she teaches – is her most miraculous gift.

The Adventures of Tilda Pinkerton is a story of inter-galactic crisis with bionic bugs on a mission to capture the great Tilda Pinkerton and destroy her magical hats before she can spread her Light across the galaxy
.
Written in a wonderfully lyrical way that will appeal to fans of Dr. Seuss, Star Trek, Matilda Wormwood, and Harry Potter with every character’s name being a verbal play on their personalities. Quinn, for example, is Quinn Quisquilious, who works with rubbish to create new things. Belinda Balletomania is just that – obsessed with ballet. And of course Aaron Arachnophobia is the spider desperately afraid of himself.

Just Thought You Should Know:

Angela has incorporated the character Tilda Pinkertion into an entire line of book projects, each geared toward a different age group in order to help kids, teachers and parents enjoy learning and reading more.
