CSFF Tour presents “Auralia’s Colors” by Jeffrey Overstreet.

January 21, 2008

Auralia’s Colors, published by WaterBrook Press.

Published by WaterBrook Press

This month’s CSFF’s blog tour features one of my favorite books of 2007-Auralia’s Colors by Jeffrey Overstreet.

Auralia has her own website!
You can read the first chapter here. (Adobe reader required). Better yet, listen to Jeffrey tell how a perceptive comment by his wife, Anne, was the trigger for Auralia’s Colors. He also reads an excerpt from the first chapter.

Auralia’s Colors received a fantastic review from Publisher’s Weekly, fantastic for a debut novelist. But Auralia’s Colors isn’t his first book. His first foray into the publishing world is Through A Screen Darkly, which received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly. Check out that website as well. (I’m currently reading it around schoolwork.)

 Infuze review.

He’s currently hard at work on his second book in the series-Cyndere’s Midnight.
I’m excited to read this novel! Waiting is so very hard….

ABOUT THE BOOK
Superwoman doesn’t live here!

I marry a gorgeous executive, have a baby, lose all the weight (most of it), and move to a fine house in the suburbs with a welcoming new church. Wait…did I say welcoming?

One teeny waaah! and new mothers and their crying babies are exiled to a separate room. At least there’s some enlightening conversation. Like about my husband and issues I didn’t even know about!

And then there’s my aptly named mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, who can’t stand me.

I’m about to lose my mind! So it’s high time for a visit to the Sassy Sistahood for some much-needed advice about men, marriage and motherhood!

The Sassy Sistahood: They get by with a little help from their friends.
