Isabelle's Story and review


Brenda Talley, a reviewer with The Romance Studio, gave my book FOUR AND HALF HEARTS.
"Ms. Anita Birt has written a beautiful book about true love and how circumstances can change even the best intentions. She delivered some beautiful scenery while telling the story. It made me wish to visit the area of Wales in 1900." The last line of the review. "I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a book with ups and downs and even a very surprise ending. You will be glad to have read it."

I enjoyed writing the two Isabelle books. Isabelle's Diary is the first one but it can be read after Isabelle's Story. Purchase both and enjoy a double read. The books are very different. Isabelle's Diary is a contemporary romance with a paranormal twist. My books are all published by Cerridwen Press where you can purchase and download my books. Check out A Very Difficult Man as well. It's a historical romance.

And now for something completely different. I blogged recently about love songs and love poems and birds. I learned that skylarks are not native to Canada but were brought to Vancouver Island from Britain. Probably by some Brits who were homesick for the skylarks' lilting song. The birds settled on Vancouver Island, the only place in North America for keen birders to see them. But - and there is a but. The meadows were they nest are disappearing and only a handful of breeding pairs remain. Skylarks are under threat in Britain for the same reason. Urbanization is moving in on their meadows.
Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote a beautiful poem To A Skylark that begins: Hail to thee blithe spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart, In profuse strains of unpremeditated art."
So to-day was a review day and I couldn't be happier. It's a thrill to find a reviewer who enjoyed reading Isabelle's Story.
