Hi and welcome to book blogs. This is such friendly community. I have encountered great advice and made some great frieds along the way. I am an author currently working on my debut novel CHANCES an inspirational romance. I also maintain a blog Inspirational Impactful Reading Today I am interviewing Author Lisa Grace about her ANGEL series which has just been optioned by Motion Picture Pro Studios.

Lisa Grace's angel series follows a young teen girl Megan. Megan has been given the gift of seeing angels and demons. This gift has caused her to enter a battle to the death for the life of her family and friends.

I am also hosting a giveaway of ANGEL IN THE STORM book 2 in the Angel Series.

Would also love it if you would stop by and like my facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Inspired-Shelves/273912099352616

Please let me know if I can return the favor :)

Hope to see you there
