Shameless Promotion for Others! Magnolia Belle

I know it's hard for independent authors to sell their own books these days so it may seem weird to promote the works of other authors. I believe in helping others, especially if it's a book I can fully get behind and cheer for.
So, I've decided to try to do this weekly or so and help promote other authors. Who knows, maybe the good karma will come back. At least that's what my great-grandmother always said...well she had a more folksy way of saying it but you get the idea.

This week: Magnolia Belle
Bio infor taken from author's Goodreads page, all rights reserved and copyright to Ms. Belle
Magnolia Belle grew up in a military family and has lived in several U.S. states as well as the Orient. She graduated in 1978 from Tarleton State University, where, as editor of the University paper, she won first place in the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association Editorial competition in 1977. She was also a member of "Who's Who Among Colleges and Universities" in 1977-78. She currently lives in Texas with her husband and their (spoiled) dogs.



A singer/songwriter and guitarist, she played with a band in the 1980s that made 3 albums. Belle proudly declares some Native American heritage. The above two facts are part of the basis of the Black Wolf series. Considering herself a native Texan, her T'on Ma and Black Wolf series are both set in that great state.

I can't speak of all of her books(I've only read four...well three and a half as I'm almost done with the third book in her Black Wolf series). Let me say that I can and will sing the praises of the Blackwolf brothers to one end of the ethernet to the other.
I've been a huge fan of books with brothers and Native American characters for a long time but except for Cait London I really couldn't find an author who handled characters with such deft skill at making the characters come alive as Magnolia Belle has with these brothers. You will laugh, you will cry and in some cases grieve but you will find such enjoyment. I could go on but that would just be gushing and I think readers will enjoy this series and more.

Next week....not sure yet.

A new edition for Flames of Betrayal!

Thanks to a dear friend and fellow writer, Magnolia Belle, the first book in my S.E.A.L. Team Omega series, Flames of Betrayal, has been edited, revised and some scenes changed. It is tigher and missing some overused words. One doesn't know how much a character mutters until it's pointed out, lol (Thanks, Belle).

Both the Kindle and Smashwords ebooks are back up and available and the Smashwords version has a coupon for anyone who would like to try the revised edition. Just contact me at: sierrarose_books@yahoo.com for the code.

Also, for those interested in terrific books I hope you'll check out Magnolia Belle's books at: Black Wolf Books . She has a wonderful series out that I highly recommend.
