My friend AA Bell has just released her latest book, something she’s been working on for 10 years. (I know that feeling). Here’s her blog post about it. Her book is called Diamond Eyes.
And here is her ROR blog post about crossing genres. Go AA!

Theme: Pilcrow by Automattic.
I just loved Diamond Eyes.
When I was asked what the book was about I described it as a lesson on open mindedness and a great reminder that perception is only one person’s point of view.
We all need to think outside the box more often don’t you think?
Congrats to A. A. Bell for crafting such a beautiful book.
You were quick, reading it already.!
Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down, and I think I cursed quite a few people for interrupting me.
