UK Author Kristina Jackson

I actually met Kristina on Facebook in a top secret group we belong to called MasterKoda.com (Well, I guess it's not so secret anymore), a group of writers who save the planet one kick-ass word at a time. And I knew from the second she baked those wonderful brownies, so moist and gooey on the inside, and took a picture of them and posted the picture of them to facebook and tagged me in it, tempting me like Eve did to Adam, making my mouth water and giving me the feeling of craving something dark and yummy in a lower region of my atmosphere (I'm talking about my tummy), I knew she had to be a great person!

Because who does that to another fellow human?

Anyway, take a peek at these puppies baked by Kristina.

Kristina's brownies. Now one can only imagine what Adam felt like after seeing that apple.

Now what was I saying? Oh, yes, Kristina. In addition to keeping up with her own site Kristina Jackson and helping to spread the word on other fantastic writers out there on Inspiring Indies, she is a wife, mother of two, owner of one dog and slave to two cats. Everyone who knows Kristina says she has a wicked sense of humor, is fun, happy, but best of all is dity minded. Hahaha.

That's my Kristina.

So find her on Facebook or on another of her sites and give her a shoutout. If you're a writer, or someone she can seduce with her brownies (What's in those things anyway?), she may even give you an interveiw.

Bangladeshi Author L.A. Sherman

BENGALI GIRLS DON'T
A modern day Cinderella story about the author Luky and her incredible journey from her birth during Bangladesh's liberation war to the present. Her desperation to be a 'normal teenager' turned into a nightmare when she was betrayed by her parents and forced into an arranged marriage with an older man at age 15. My heart ached when I read what horrendous conditions she endured. Her descriptive writing had me visualizing everything she suffered through. I was amazed at Luky's strength and determination she used to survive each day in the hope of one day being home again. This is one story that will forever be etched in my mind and heart. --Maureen Ruehl

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
L.A. Sherman grew up in Bradford, England in a strict Muslim family where she learned how to sneak out of the house without making the door creak. At the age of fifteen, she was tricked into going to Bangladesh by her parents and forced to marry a man as old as her father. After four years there with a wicked mother-in-law, she won the visa lottery for America and moved to the Big Apple. Now hard at work on her second book, she lives in Tampa, Florida with her family near a pond full of gators and spends her time doing all the things that Bengali girls don’t.
