Chloe, I'm just blogging this afternoon and promoting my new book, "Beth:Love Along The Way...by B.G.Sanford," and just released by Eloquent Books. It's the amazing story of one woman who overcomes all odds and obstacles, along with enduring a bitter divorce, to find real Love.....Along the Way. It's romance, it's relationships, It's raw emotion and drama at its best, and it's damned entertaining! For those so inclined, my book can be purchased on line or if one prefers, they can have their local bookstore order it for them. Either way, the reader is in for a real treat!
ReplyDeleteGood reading my friends,
