Tammy Bowers starts off her blog tour post for The Familiar Stranger with this picture and these words: INTRODUCING MY FRIEND AND DEBUT AUTHOR, CHRISTINA BERRY. ISN’T SHE PRETTY!!!
Frankly, there hasn’t been a day when I needed to hear that as much as today for a looooong time, but I would argue that it’s her beauty rubbing off on me.
In the interview on Write Steps, she asks (among other things) what the biggest blessing of doing foster care is. Also, what the biggest challenge is. There are a few completely fresh Q&As, so please come read it and leave a comment. I’d really be interested in hearing your answers to #9. Oh, almost forgot! She’s got a short video of me reading the first few paragraphs of the book!
My friend, Beth Wiseman, just signed a contract for more books with Thomas Nelson. In less than two years of publishing, she has contracted THREE novellas and TEN novels! Unbelievable!
I am so happy for her. She reviews The Familiar Stranger on her blog today, as well.
Here’s the beginning of her fabulous review:
“My deadlines are so tight, I don’t have time to review as many books as I would like. However, Christina didn’t hesitate to review Plain Perfect when it released, and I wanted to return the favor. The ‘favor’ resulted in a book that I couldn’t put down and didn’t want to end …”
You ARE pretty, Christina. Don’t let the devil convince you otherwise. The love of Jesus shines out of your eyes, straight from your heart. And your smile sparkles! Give you a hundred dollars for your hair!
It’s funny, isn’t it? Looks matter so little, yet we all want to be pretty. Thank you, Jeanette, I want any beauty I have to be Jesus in me. 🙂
Hey, as a single mom I might just have to sell you my hair at some point!
Christina:
You have a beautiful smile. I notice smiles as I have gotten older.
Quietspirit, I like smiles. They tell more about personality than anything else, I think. Thank you!
You are beautiful inside and out. Don’t every doubt it!
Tammy, thank you! Did you watch Biggest Loser? I finally saw the one with the youth pastor being sent home and he was speaking to teens about healthy living, both inside and out, and I thought, “Yes! That’s what I’m going for.”
