New Release Alert – Queen of Belize

CONGRATULATIONS, HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!


By birth, she is royalty. By choice she is an avenger and equalizer for those who have no voice.

When dark forces emerge and threaten not only her queendom but her life, Luiza, Queen of Belize becomes a foot soldier, calling upon the assistance of allies and a few nemeses to help aid in a personal war.

It’s then that she fulfills the meaning of her name, glorious war hero.

#National Book Lovers Day

Today is the day for all lovers of books. To honor this special event, let’s post our favorite book quotes.

I’ll go first. I have two favorites. The first is from the woman that inspired me to put words on paper, Maya Angelou. From “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings”:

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
― Maya Angelou

And from my new favorite. I love the way she paints a picture with words. Leesa Cross-Smith’s “Whiskey & Ribbons”:

“I can hear it coming. Healing. The train tracks leading to my heart are warmed by it. I can put my hand there and feel it hot. It is rattling towards me. Rumbling. The buzzing sound of a flickering light at the end of the tunnel. A grief train rumbling away from us. A healing train coming our way… Everything. In rhythm. All of it – glowing and glowing – light spilling and pouring and rushing through the cracks of the bits glued back together. This shattered life. This broken bright.”
― Leesa Cross-Smith

Now it’s your turn. In the comments below, share your favorite book(s) and add a quote.
