I thought A Higher Voice was a good read. It was pretty enjoyable and I liked Britt’s story. Aside from the underlying messages about Dena and her beliefs I found her likeable. I was really engaged in Britt’s storyline. It was a different type of book with a star who was not typical. It was hard to imagine Britt falling for Dena and how they stayed together was a positive aspect. He really evolved and learned a lot about himself. Very refreshing.  

There was a lot to like about this book and I would say if you are in the mood for something, clean and refreshing give this one a try. I liked that the love story between Britt & Dena started right away and lasted throughout the book. You can relate to Dena and her need to protect her daughter. It was showing the faith Dena had in a different way along with her trust in Britt’s feeling for her.  

The author added a little sub plot with the music, production and concerts concerning Britt. 

I am perfectly flawed and I believe the best stories aren’t about perfect people. The best stories are about what happens when you back a flawed person into a corner.  

I like to unravel a character until I get at the story he really wants to tell me. The story might leave us a little grimy in the telling, but we’ll find out just what he’ll risk everything for. We’ll find out whether he’s willing to let the story transform him. 

Because I believe God’s story is evident even in the grimiest of tales. 

As for me, I’m as flawed as anyone. I can scruff along my daily walk not much different than the next person. And yet…and yet, by God’s grace, I stand perfect. Amazing truth. 

I am a graduate of High Point University, I live near Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and my husband and I own a couple small businesses.

Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right?

Well, every day is like that for Jessalyn Bell. Falling victim to a streak of extremely bad luck, Jessalyn can rarely go a day without encountering a disastrous occurrence. Her parents’ divorce, her inability to meet quota at her sales job, and the incident in which she’s mistakenly arrested are just the beginning. There’s also the fact that every single date with her boyfriend Kyle goes wrong.

Unpleasant surprises wait around every corner, but through her various misadventures Jessalyn comes to realize that every cloud has a silver lining, that friendships can develop in the most unlikely places, and that love and romance are every bit as spontaneous and unpredictable as a bout of bad luck.

Where I’m From:
I was an Air Force brat growing up, so I’m not really sure where I’m from. I was born in California, then moved to Germany, then moved to New Mexico. New Mexico is usually where I say I’m from, since that’s where I lived the longest. Alamogordo is my hometown. You’ve probably never heard of it. Most people haven’t. And those who have wish that they hadn’t.

Here’s a photo of Alamogordo, New Mexico from Wikipedia. It pretty much sums it up.

Yeah, there’s nothing there. Except for a water tower and tumbleweeds. And dirt. Lots of it.

What I Do:
By day, I work as an editor and graphic designer for a magazine publishing company. By night, I write novels just for kicks.

When and Why I Decided to Become a Writer:
I think I was ten years old the first time I thought about becoming a published author. At the time, I was completely obsessed with R.L. Stine, The Boxcar Children, and Sweet Valley High. When I wasn’t reading those books, I was combing the shelves at the school library for any and every fiction book written for children. I quickly became obsessed with creative writing, and began writing short stories. A couple of them won school awards and my head swelled to the size of the Goodyear Blimp. Then I entered the same stories in a citywide competition, and when they lost I came crashing back down to reality. My artwork, meanwhile, went on to win city and statewide awards. Art became my main focus, but I never stopped writing.

Hobbies and Interests:
I like to bake, and cook, but I don’t do much of either lately because I have two babies in diapers. Being a mommy is awesome, and it takes a lot of time. I’ve always been a big movie-goer, and I’m usually watching an action flick or slapstick comedy of some sort. As much as I love to write, I also have a passion for graphic design. It’s what I went to school for, and what pays the bills.

Note: This novel contains mature content, sexuality, and adult language.

Review:

Chick lit lovers unite once again! The premise is so good; lie and say you are seeing someone and then they (men) will flock to you. I know I heard somewhere that a man wearing a wedding ring is more appealing. I don’t know where I heard it or if it is true. Either way a very interesting idea!

For Chloe to own a store and be totally focused on fashion is typical of the author. She writes a fashion maven with ease, this one included.

When I read characters such as Chloe and Ethan I truly appreciate the author. She made them so lovable.  The pretend to date each other theme used with them just made me enjoy it more. Sometimes the one you should be with is right there, sometimes fate jumps in, either way they worked for me. There are a few along the way that peak my interest, but the author keeps you guessing.

Anna has also written a few great novels as Libby Mercer. Check her out and dont miss the other fabulous novels she has written.

Interview with Nikki Duvall

What inspires you to get out of bed each day?

I believe we all have a calling. Like Oprah said years ago, it’s our job to find out what that calling is. If you have a talent, it’s your obligation to the world to use it. So I start each day looking for ways to contribute to the human experience in a positive way. That may be through my library work, through personal relationships, or by writing books that inspire women to believe in themselves and live their dreams. Each day is a gift. I try hard to remember that and be grateful for every moment.

My name is Tony Cleaver and I’m a refugee from the city of Flint, Michigan. When I was growing up, my hometown was the bastion of blue collar opulence. Jobs were plentiful, they paid well, and they pretty much always had.

Then in the late 1970′s, things took a turn for the worst. The automobile industry went belly-up. Workers with families were laid off by the tens of thousands, and after decades of decline, Flint is no longer a laborer’s paradise. Instead, it has become a capitol for crime, and poverty, and for urban decay.

Back in the day- young people who wanted any kind of a life for themselves, were forced to leave . . .  so I wandered.

Synopsis:

When a massive group of angels known as nephilim—half human, half angel—had been found by the Royal Council, they were taken to Halo City. Instead of cleansing the Earth with a flood, which had been done before, the Royal Council created a place just for this group of angels. While they were being taken, one of the Twelve, named Aden, rebelled and convinced many alkins to join his cause—to live freely among the humans and take over Crossroads.

After the fall of Aden and his followers, Michael was taken to Halo City to heal. Not only did Michael had a difficult time settling into his new environment, he had conflicting issues regarding his past. Upon meeting the alkins, a particular one by the name of Davin refused to give up on helping him deal with his struggles. Together, they discovered a strange being that would appear at the Crossroads at unexpected times. Souls wandering there is nothing new, but this one aged as time passed. Mystified, they both searched for answers while refraining from telling the Twelve about her. Who is this being that had enraptured Michael’s attention? And will Michael finally forgive himself and find the happiness that he yearned to have?
