This post came as a surprise to me from Amy J today and I wanted to share this with you. Her words about my book actually brought tears to my eyes. I had no idea she was going to post this. 
 
 

Today I wanted to start a discussion and get some thoughts from other readers.  When you are cruising around your book blogs, are you more likely to buy books from authors you have heard about, or do you like to find books by authors that you have never heard of before? 

For me, I like to find new authors.  They are like finding diamonds in the rough.  It is hard to fathom why so many wonderful authors are still struggling to be picked up by major publishing companies.  Now, I understand those big companies can only sign on so many wonderful authors due to money and demand.  Wouldn't it be great though if they had a program for new authors?  Maybe one new author a month to offer a contract to? …. 
 

Amy goes on to say a lot of interesting things and then mentions River of Tears. To see what she’s said please click here: http://myoverstuffedbookshelf.blogspot.com/2010/02/unknown-authors-vs-big-time-authors.html 

……RIVER OF TEARS by Michele L. Montgomery is still my favorite book of 2009.  I have read that book 3 times and the words still send my emotions into overdrive and tug at my heart.  It is a book that has stayed with me and I still have not found a book that touched me as much as it did since then.  It will probably be my favorite book of 2010 if I keep re reading it over and over again.  This author was one that I had never heard of, the cover was not fancy with half naked men on the front, and I still wanted to read it.  A true diamond in the rough was found. 
 

Her words have touched me very deep.
