It took me all day -but my book trailer is finished. There are some little twist I’d like to do but I am pleased. If you watch this on a large screen some of it comes out a bit grainy and we are working on it. Thanks to my wonderful husband Bob -I couldn’t have done this without you. Saranghaeyo
Don’t forget to come to the Dayton Ohio Book Expo and check out my book April 30th from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
Today, I received a very important review of my work. This review was prepared by D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review These are a few quotes from her review: “The Living Miracle is like no other.” “…hard to put down.” “Both religious readers and secular followers will find The Living Miracle an intriguing and gripping story of an all-too-possible future altered by one miracle that stands alone as the flame to a bigger fire of hope.” This review will be posted in the April 2016 issue of The Midwest Book Review. It will also appear on Kobo, Goodreads and Booklikes, plus more. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement. Thank you to The Midwest Book Review and D. Donovan for giving my novel a blessed beginning.

Where are you U-mma?” Ari sat on the leather recliner with a Kleenex box on her lap and tissues pressed against her nose.
