The Good Luck Stone
Book Feature - The Good Luck Stone by Heather Bell Adams
HBL Note: First, let us all take a moment to admire that beautiful book cover. Those colors are * chefs kiss *. This cover was made for all those bookstagrammers out there because this cover is nothing if not Instagrammable, am I right? Second, I love Love LOVE when I get to communicate with authors directly. (I love the publicists I work with, too…don’t get me wrong.) But there is something special about getting to work directly with the person who produced a work, don’t you think? So a big thanks to Heather for reaching out to me about her novel, The Good Luck Stone. Scroll down to read more.
