RRBC Pay it Forward Week!
Hello everyone!
I am delighted today to host the first of two authors I will spotlight, promote, and propel this week as part of the RRBC Pay it Forward Week. Where blog hosts support one author per day, and don’t promote themselves or anyone else at all for that whole day. For more information, or to sign up for future Pay it Forward weeks, please click HERE. Okay, I’m sure you’re all dying to know more about my author of the day today …
A HUGE warm welcome to J Dylan Yates! Dylan is a supportive member of RRBC, as well as a talented lady! So, lets all please give Dylan as much support as we can today! 🙂
THE BELIEF IN Angels, Dylan’s debut novel, was written over the course of many years while she attempted a number of BFA-related jobs, including: waitressing, teaching, corporate training, real estate, nursing, interior design, directing, acting, producing, parenting, library science and reluctant housewifery.
Prior to publication, THE BELIEF IN Angels won the Alexis Masters Scholarship for Spiritual Writing at the February 2012 San Francisco Writers Conference as well as a Los Angeles Book Festival Award.
THE BELIEF IN Angels
Growing up in her parents’ crazy hippie household on a tiny island off the coast of Boston, Jules’s imaginative sense of humor is the weapon she wields to dodge household chaos. But somewhere between routine discipline with horsewhips, gun-waving gambling debt collectors, and LSD-laced breakfast cereal adventures, traged
y strikes with the death of her younger brother—a blow from which Jules may never fully recover.
Jules’ story alternates with that of her Grandfather Samuel, a man with a sad story of his o
wn. Samuel, once called Szaja, is an orthodox Jew who lived through the murderous Ukranian pogroms of the 1920s and the Majdanek Death Camp—but whose survival came at a price that’s haunted him for years.
