I wanted to share one of my latest reads with you. The debut book, Mirror Blue, by author Thomma Lyn Grindstaff.
Thomma Lyn Grindstaff
From Black Lyons Website

“He’s her first chance at love.
She’s his last.”“Free spirit Aphra Porter never thought Isaac Lightfoot would remember the letter she wrote to him years before. But by some miracle, he does. Now a successful Web site designer in her thirties, Aphra meets the man whose writing talents she’s always idolized—an encounter that leaves her spinning. No longer is Isaac a distant image, but a flesh and blood man who looks at her like no one has looked at her before.
A critically acclaimed author and Vietnam war hero, Isaac is one tough bear of a man. Faced with the physical and emotional scars of war, a relationship with a daunting age difference, and an ex-wife bent on tearing Aphra from his life, he’s about to learn that leaving the past behind and building a new life can be the toughest battle of all.”
What I’m saying:
“…a touching literary love story and beautifully written debut book, MIRROR BLUE pulls together two charming southern characters, Aphra and Isaac, despite obstacles of self-doubt, fears and outside hostilities. Ms. Grindstaff gives a rare and poignant gift to her readers.” –Kim Michele Richardson, author, The Unbreakable Child
What others are saying:
“Mirror Blue is a beautiful romance with refreshingly original characters.” ~Alissa Johnson, historical romance author
If you haven’t met Thomma Lyn, hop over to her website, Tennessee Text Wrestling. I can promise you, you’ll be glad you did. Thomma, beautiful mountain spirit girl, is a wonderful writer and one of the nicest folks out in blogland. You’ll come to love her as much as I do.
Lovely, safe and happy holiday to all of you.
