Today I have the greatest pleasure of hosting this great blog tour.  I am so excited to share this great new book with you by Lisa Bilbrey called Angel's Heart: The Keeper.

So, today I have a Author Interview and Giveaway.  Make sure you enter to win a signed paperback copy of Angel's Heart!



Author Interview with Lisa Bilbrey
  

If you could spend the day on a dessert island with any one you would like to, who would it be?Oh, I should say my husband, but I’m not. I spend every day with him. On a serious note, I would spend the day with J.K. Rowling. She’s an amazing storyteller, who created this unique world. I would love a chance to get inside her head.



Do you have a special place to write? If so tell us about it.I write in the living room. The way my living room is set up, I have a small corner in the back that I have declared to be my office. Most of the time, the TV isn’t on, but I’ve learned to adjust to the noise when the kids are watching.





Do your characters talk to you and do you talk back to them?Oh, my characters not only talk to me, but they yell and scream, too! Especially if I dare ignore them for silly things like sleep. I am a true believer that the characters write the story and it’s my job to just listen.


Who is or was your biggest influence in your life?My mom. Growing up, things weren’t always easy. I was nearly eight years old before I could read more than a few site words. I have dyslexia and so I often felt like I was too stupid to be able to write. When I first started, my mom kept encouraging me to keep fighting, to never give up. Being able to see her with tears in her eyes when she held my first book in her hands was worth it all.




Is there something that your readers do not know about you that you can share with us today?I have a twin sister. We aren’t identical, but there are times when I am just having a horrible day and she will text me, or call even. My husband laughs when we start texting each other, because it will go on for two hours. He’ll grumble and say, “it would be easier if you just called.” But it’s how we work.





Lisa Bilbrey is a mom of three and has been married to her high school sweetheart since 1996.Finding a love in the written word, she started writing as a way to express herself. From the first word she wrote, she'd found her heart and soul. Always willing to learn, she's spends much of her time trying to improve as a storyteller. She's been blessed to find Michele Richard and Laura Braley, both of whom she spends hours every day writing with.

    Devotional with Rev. Kim on Breath of Llife

    To contact us Click HERE

    My devotional time this morning was based on the history of the Family of Jesus. Have you ever read the scripture in Matthew 1:1-25? It gives you the entire list of the ancestor of Jesus. And then the Birth announcement to Joseph by the Angel. Then go back to the Old Testament and read:



    Isaiah 7:13-14 Then Isaiah said, "Ahaz, descendant of David, listen carefully! Isn't it bad enough that you wear out the patience of people? Do you also have to wear out the patience of my God?
    The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be pregnant. She will have a son, and she will name him Immanuel."


    "The only way God could bring about the salvation of the fallen human race was to assume the form of the race He was to redeem. He became human!!  He has given us the opportunity of salvation. Our choice. But still through His birth and death on the cross we can have eternal life." (From: MY TIME with GOD)
    Do you really know who Jesus is? Do you really know Him as your personal Lord? How have we been blessed through the linage of Jesus? 
    Thanks for joining me today in my devotions. Please feel free to comment. Would love to hear your testimonials on your salvation. 
    Have a Blessed Day!!
    Rev. Kim J.  

    Book Review: Board To Death by Amy Barkman, Debbie Roome and Tracy Ruckman

    To contact us Click HERE

    Title: BOARD To Death
    Author: Amy Barkman, Debbie Roome, Tracy Ruckman
    Category: Mystery
    Pub. Date: 09/27/2011
    Publisher: Write Integrity Press
    Format: Paperback
    Pages: 302
    ISBN#:098394850x




    Synopsis:
    Board to Death is a Trio of Mysteries in the Dangerous Games Series. The book is written by Amy Barkman, Debbie Roome, and Tracy Ruckman.

    Baby Boomers Polly Nichols, Lindsay Wilson, and Gretchen Anderson may live worlds apart, but they have one common hobby – a penchant for board games.

    Polly’s serene Kentucky campground turns sinister when the manager is a VICTIM of murder.

    In New Zealand, Lindsay’s life is turned upside down when MIND GAMES and evidence drag her into a murder case - as a suspect.

    At the Kettle’s On Campground in Georgia, Gretchen matches wits with a murderous wordsmith intent on winning the latest game of SENTENCED.

    You’ll love the games, the characters, and the stories – and we promise, you won’t be BOARD to Death!

    To our readers: Our characters are Christians, just as the authors are who created them, so their lives and their stories reflect this viewpoint. We hope you enjoy our fun and unique stories.



    My Review:
    Three stories in one. And to make it interesting, they all three are mysterious connected by games. 

    These three authors knows how to keep you going. The only thing that I missed was near the end. I honestly was looking for the story to continue right on into the next. Instead the next story started by new characters and new mystery. 

    The characters were good. The plots were good. But wish the book just flowed right on through instead of really separating the stories. I know it was by three different writers. But they were based so I thought off of the same Game.. Board to Death..  But this is just my opinion, I was just a little disappointed.

     So due to the above I am giving this book a Breath of Life Rating of::


    Three Clock Rating!!!
