How Sweet Is FREE

Help me celebrate my new cover on an old fav by grabbing a Kindle copy for free today!

Embrasser means to kiss in French. Delphine D'Arleux, traveling in Belgium for a candy-making class, doesn't expect to have the word demonstrated to her, especially by a stranger. Brad Larsen, an avowed chocoholic, knows he behaved badly by kissing the pretty French girl, but he can't quite regret his actions. Can he show Delphine that a longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul?

Three-In-One Free Bestselling Romance!


My Amazon Bestselling Christian romance set Oregon In Love is free today!

Follow three different women as they find love and meaning...in the Great Northwest and beyond. (Christian romance)
 
RESTORATIONS:

In a small Oregon community, Sara Andersen finds herself in possession of an old farmhouse in desperate need of renovations. Brian Farris is a
builder who is new in town, but intimately acquainted with Sara. His purpose is not to restore only the house, but his relationship with her. The only problem is that Sara doesn't believe Brian has undergone any soulful renovations of his own
.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS:

Chiaroscuro--the treatment of light and shade to give an illusion of depth--is stock in trade for Marc Dorin's work as a photographer. When he meets the silk and steel Julia Wilcox,  it's as if one of his sepia-toned prints comes to gently-hued life. But will the shadows from her past drain all the color from their future together?

MILAGRO FOR MIRANDA:

Miranda Adams is in desperate need of a milagro--a miracle. She's trying to find her half-sister, Soledad, living in an orphanage somewhere in Mexico City. Spencer Meyers, bound to her by his family's blackmail, helps her as they set off on a frustrating search through winding, unnamed streets of Cuidad Nezahualcóyotl...and find much more than they
ever expected
.

Candlelight Reads Spring In Your Step Blog Hop!


UPDATE:
CONGRATS TO TARA--WINNER OF THE DIAMOND CANDLE AND PAM--WINNER OF THE KINDLE BOOK!
Thanks to everyone who entered! Sign up for my email list so you never miss a contest!

Can you believe spring IS FINALLY HERE? For much of the country--including the usually mild Tennessee--winter was long and crummy. So now it's time to cast off the anoraks and dig in the closet for last summer's flip-flops.

Along with spring breezes comes sweet smells and the fun of reading. With that in mind, two commenters will win one of two prizes. The first winner (chosen by www.random.org) will win a deliciously yummy-smelling Diamond Candle.

If you haven't heard of these candles, they're super fun. Inside each one is a foil package with a ring valued between $10 and $5000. Even the $10 rings are pretty, and the all natural soy candle fragrances are out of this world. For this contest, the winner receives a Orange Blossom candle (your home address will be needed for mailing).



The second winner receives a Kindle copy of my Amazon bestselling, three book Christian romance set called Oregon In Love, which contains the books Restorations, Lights & Shadows, and Milagro For Miranda.

Because spring is the time of romance!

Emerald Barnes Entertaining Angels Cover Reveal!





I am super thrilled to show you the beautiful cover for my newest and upcoming novel, Entertaining Angels.  Again, my cover artist was Natasha Brown, and she is super talented.  She brought my disjointed vision to life, and I don't think I'll ever be able to thank her properly. 

I can't wait to publish it, which I'm hoping will be in May.  That's what I'm estimating anyway.  But, I couldn't wait any longer to show you my beautiful cover!



About Entertaining Angels:

Madison Andrews can’t face her reflection in the mirror.  All she sees is a big, fat nobody.  Yet, deep inside she longs for something more, something that’s not skin deep.

Along comes Zach, the new guy in school.  He’s smoking hot and totally out of her league.  She somehow catches his eye, and he makes her feel beautiful for once.  But just as she gets close to Zach, her nerdy best friend, Chase, won’t let Madison doubt her true beauty, no matter how many meals she skips.

Even as Madison begins to realize that she is more than what she thinks, darker forces are at work, darker than the lies and mocking from her peers, stopping her from amounting to her full potential.  Can Madison find true happiness in her own skin?


Are you a book reviewer?  If so, please sign up for an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of my novel here.




About Emerald:
Emerald Barnes graduated with a B.A. in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing at Mississippi University for Women.  She resides in a small town in Mississippi and has the accent to prove it. 

She mainly writes suspense/thrillers in the YA genre, but she dabbles in other genres and her books are enjoyed by all ages!   She's constantly working on new novels and has more ideas than she knows what to do with.  She blogs which takes up more of her time than she anticipates but loves it so very much!  She's also a volunteer at the World Literary Cafe which is amazing, and she is a crazy grammar nazi who proofreads novels!

She's an auntie to three beautiful nieces and two handsome nephews who take up the other half of her time, but she couldn't imagine spending her time in any other way! 

She's a Whovian, a little bit of a nerd, a reader, a writer, and a family-oriented person.  God is number One in her life, and she thanks Him continuously for His love and favor.
