The Heart Stone

TheHeartStone cover(1) I’m so pleased to have my friend and former critique partner Sherry Kyle join us this week, but before I get to that, the winner of last weeks drawing is Janice G. Congratulations!

Welcome Sherry. Please tell us about The Heart Stone.

Thank you so much for having me on your blog today, Kimberly!

I’m so excited for The Heart Stone to be released on April 1, 2013. My novel is a contemporary romance about a single mother running from the unwanted calls from her son’s biological father, and a widow’s search for her first love. A heart-shaped diamond ring binds their stories together. You can see a book trailer here: https://bit.ly/X5wEMH

Since I critiqued this book, I’m quite familiar with the storyline. I like how Sherry incorporated two separate romances into The Heart Stone, yet both storylines blend seamlessly together.

What inspired The Heart Stone?

I love to write stories where a character searches for someone (and in this case also runs from someone) and discovers something about herself along the way. I wondered what it would be like for two women who took different paths in life to find true love. The diamond ring means different things to these two women. One wears it out of fear, and the other wishes she never gave it back.

What is next for you, Sherry?

I also write books for tween girls. The Girl’s Guide to Your Dream Room is the next book in the Girl’s Guide series from Legacy Press. Girls will discover how they can have an inner makeover while redoing their room. The book is filled with fun stories, activities, and crafts that will help connect them to God’s Word.

I bought a copy of your Girl’s Guide to Style for my niece, and she loved it. She will be excited to learn about your room book.

Thanks for offering to give away a copy of your debut novel, Sherry. Please tell us a little about Delivered With Love.

Delivered with Love is dear to my heart! It’s about a young woman who discovers an old love letter in the glove compartment of her late mother’s VW Bug. Her search for the writer of the letter leads her on an unexpected journey that changes her heart forever.

In case anyone is wondering, both of Sherry’s books are stand alones. If you would like a change to win Delivered With Love please answer the following question:

Have you ever written to an author, and if so, how did you connect with them?  (E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or ?)

I’d love to connect with you online. You can find me at www.sherrykyle.com.

Thanks, Kimberly!
