I think one of the best things about book blogging is getting the opportunities to discover new authors and great books. Several weeks ago we had the opportunity to read, review and promote, Life's A Cappella, a new book from author Yessi Smith. We enjoyed her work so much we decided she should be our spotlight author this week!
I’m a Hispanic living in South Florida with my redneck husband from Texas and our “half breed” son, who is actually the reason I started writing again after years of celibacy. My son loves stories, but not the kind you can read in an existing book. No, he’d rather make up a story, complete with our own illustrations. So, thank you, Son, for igniting a flame I had let go out. I also live with two dogs: a neurotic Border Collie we call Nitro and a midget Rottweiler named Nisa.
I have always found my sanctuary at the beach and in music and writing. I wish I could write rhymes so I could become a famous rapper, but rhyming is completely lost on me.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s in Human Resource Management. I have held several jobs, from picking up dog crap to upper management positions. And now I am hoping to leave the business world behind so I can live full time in a world that does not exist until I place my fingers on.
Books By Yessi Smith
Synopsis
I want to tell you how great my life was. How I lived without regrets. With constant laughter. Without any tears. I want to tell you how I lived each moment to the fullest. How each breath I took was fresh and full of life. With eagerness. Without any fear.
I want to tell you all of that, but then my story would be masked with lies and not worth telling.
My life didn’t start until I left my past. And I left everything. My mother, my friends, my name.
My new name, the name everyone knows me by is Erin Lewis.
Four years after finding the courage to leave her hometown in Alabama, Erin is finally happy with where her life has led her. Not only is she secure in her environment, but the relationships she has formed center her, making her forget how damaged she once was. Before she can fully settle into her new life, her past crashes into her present, unraveling a set of events that destroy the very foundation she has built her new life on
Our A Cappella (A Cappella 1.5)
Synopsis
Five months after their
wedding, Trent struggles with the strain of juggling work and family life as
Erin furthers her education, getting a Master's degree in Nursing. All Trent
wants is one weekend alone with his wife to reconnect but Erin's focus is adamantly
elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Nate, Erin's
oldest friend and brother, has formed an undeniable bond with Tonya that he is
reluctant to pursue because of his own inner demons.
Will love be enough?
