Book Spotlight: Asia’s New Wings by Clifton and Michelle Cottom #AsiasNewWings #9/11

About the Book:

Asia Cottom lived eleven short years on this earth. Her tragic death on Flight #77 on 9/11 is forever etched in the hearts of the countless people who loved her. But her wise and influential life, her positive attitude, and profound faith in God are her true legacy.

You may love God with all your heart and soul, yet not understand what He is doing. In Asia’s New Wings, Clifton and Dr. Michelle Cottom, along with family and friends, walk beside you, sharing their thoughts and offering compassion to help you come to a place of acceptance, when trying to make sense of suffering great loss. The people in this book have learned to come to terms with what God allows, and are now in a place where they can help heal others. If you have gone—or are going through—the “valley of despair,” you will find comfort and empathy from those who care. You will also find hope and the strength to move forward as you rediscover your life.

What Asia's parents and all those who loved her went through, healed from, and learned will bring comfort and relief to those who travel down the road of loss. Reading and experiencing Asia's story will truly bring healing and life to all who turn these pages.

Book Review: Melanie's Evanescent Journey by B Truly

Release date: April 23 2014

ASIN: B00K1NHOPU

New Adult, Paranormal-Romance Companion novel for The Sonar Series

True Love may cost a price, if the greater good preordains that you are the sacrifice.

There are always two sides to a story. Melanie Wilhelm's begins after she moves from Australia and starts her senior year at Cashmere High. On her first day, she bumps into a mysterious guy, and they form an instant connection. They become friends and he shares his deepest secret with her. As they grow closer, their relationship amplifies and becomes binding. Strange things occur, but instead of worrying, Melanie's feelings intensify.
The excitement of New Year's Eve approaches, and so does Jason's most devastating revelation of all. She learns his ultimate truth and is now spun into his chaotic web. The danger rises and hard choices must be made. By being with Jason, Melanie may have to sacrifice more than her heart. It may cost her life.

Melanie's Evanescent Journey ties into books one and two of The Sonar Trilogy. From spiraling twists to devastating plots, her journey will make you question fate and true love.
Is fate something you can control? Some believe it's in the hands of what you behold.

Book Excerpt with inside look into the crash in Creative writing.

I have wanted to be an author since I was fifteen years old and I'm grateful to have accomplished this dream. I have three wonderful children and a husband who defines the person I am today. I work as an Ultrasound technologist in Sugarland, Texas and enjoy this field.

I have very vivid dreams and a wild imagination. I like to read and watch tons of TV shows and movies. I’m addicted to romance and get a thrill out of action and suspense. I write New Adult Fantasy, Sci-fi, and Paranormal-Romance. 

In the Sonar series it was fun to explore different elements of Sci-fi romance and create various realms of powers for my characters. I want to show my readers that Sci-fi can be fun, but also traumatic. I hope you guys enjoy the Sonar Series. 

My Review: This is the second book in the Sonar Series and because I already read Sonar The Crashing by B Truly first I was able to understand the storyline easily.  Per the summary I assumed this was the same story as Sonar The Crashing but told from a different persons perspective.  I was skeptical if this book would hold my interest as I had already read the story from Shiray and Brians perspective but this was from Melanies.  I also will admit from the first book I didn't like Mel very much, this book explored the story from her point of view and I ended up liking her a lot by the end.  I was pleasantly surprised at how B Truly was able to keep the old characters, added new ones flawlessly and also kept similar track of the original story's timeline but also you are able to see what else is happening simultaneously.  I found this book a wonderful read and intend to start the next book in this series tonight.  I give this a 5 out of 5 as it couldn't be simple writing to make this story so smooth with two perspectives. Well done!

Book Review: Sonar the Crashing by B Truly

Release date: October 11 2013

Publisher: Brandy Truly

ASIN: B00IZ4VNYA

Is it more than déjà vu? With the Romeland family it may be destined to be true.

Life on Earth is not the only place where devastation occurs and hard choices must be made. The Royal 4 of Kadan live in the Sonar galaxy three million light years from Earth. They travel to Earth to obtain the resources they need to give their world a fighting chance. 

Their mission is compromised and they’re faced with life changing events. They have amnesia and no memory of their past. Strange dreams start to occur. They wonder if it’s more than a dream, or is it déjà vu?

The mind is a complex mystery. Amnesia is a secret unknown. The role it manifests in these characters’ lives is a catastrophic cyclone.

Shiray is frantic when she is the first to find out about their true destiny and that the love of her life no longer remembers who she is. She must find a way to restore her family before all is lost. They must prevail because the fate of their planet lies in their hand. 

What would you do if you had amnesia and fell in love, only to learn upon regaining your memory, that you are already married?

Find out in this New Adult Sci-Fi/Romance thriller!

My Review: I found the synopsis on the back of this book confusing and the first bit of the book was difficult to understand as I wasn't familiar with terminology of this world but once you became familiar with the characters and the terms it made more sense.  Once I was able to fully comprehend what was happening I began to really enjoy this story.  I think B Truly was very successful in creating a whole new world.  I enjoy a good book where I am able to feel emotions as situations arise.  I was able to empathize for Jason/Bryan as he became unknowingly the centre of a love triangle and had to deal with two loving leading ladies.  I enjoyed the complex development of characters such as Paige/Shiray and Harmony/Syira.  I would give this book a 4 out of 5 as it was difficult in the beginning to understand and if that was addressed the book would easily earn a 5 of 5.  Well written!

Stay tuned for the reviews of the other books coming Sept 11th and Sept 28th!
