Sometimes I forget this blog even exists! I was recently reminded of it by a publisher who contacted me, offering to send an advanced copy of the paperback of this new novel. It's historical fiction, and sounds really interesting, so I'm excited to read it. Since the suck of law school is over, and in two weeks the EPIC SUCK of the bar exam is over, I can use my free time (Free time? What's free time?) to reading books for fun again!
So... I was thinking, if anybody is still out there, that if anyone else wanted to read the same book (and I'd be happy to loan out my copy), we can discuss it virtually through the blog. Since we all seem to be in different cities/states these days, it might be a good way to keep in touch!

I generally like historical novels so I'd be up to reading it after you're done!
What a great idea. I hope you keep it going.

Hello ladies. I wanted to bring to your attention a new book that is sure to produce enthusiastic conversation in your book club. The title is "The Zeal of Thine House has Eaten Me Up". This book is available in paperback as well as ebook for Kindle users. Zeal is available at Amazon.com, Borders.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
I am confident that those that read this book will share it well beyond your churches book club. I look forward to your questions and comments.
Enjoy.
Please consider reviewing Heather Heaton's new ebook "Her Letters from Prison" in your book club meetings.
I (Heather Heaton) am recommending my new ebook ("Her Letters from Prison") as a motivational resource for reading pleasure, review, contemplation, and comment. My ebook will validate your inquisitive doubts about what goes on in women’s prisons (It is what it is!); it can justify the efforts spent toward Christian ministries to women’s prisons; and it can be an inspirational (tell-it-like-it-is) resource for drug rehab/prevention programs. The book is non-fiction, inspirational, prison romance; and the original letters (with prison art) are included as images for authenticity. You can go to http://www.heather-heaton.com, click on a direct link to my Smashwords "book pages", and purchase “Her Letters from Prison”, Parts 1 and 2.
If you don’t happen to own a Kindle, Nook, Fire, Sony, iPhone/iPad, or some other eReader device, then download the FREE Adobe Digital Editions software to your computer to read the “epub” version of my ebook as purchased from Smashwords. Multiple eReader versions of my ebook are available on Smashwords.
I am a 34 year old college student trying to better my life, in spite of the baggage I carry from my previous life. To date, I have been quite successful in accomplishing this goal; and I will use the proceeds from the book to help support myself. My picture is posted, with my book descriptions, at Smashwords.
My recently published ebook is entitled ("Her Letters from Prison: Part 1 & Part 2", by Heather Heaton). The ebook was published at Smashwords (www.smashwords.com). A brief description of the ebook follows:
1. Breanna tells the true story of her experiences in prison through her letters to her friend Heath. This is a story of survival and a quest to make a better life. The letters describe the daily shocking events of prison life involving drugs, sex, utter devastation and humiliation, anger, hopelessness, despair, and finally happiness and hope.
2. Breanna was condemned to prison by her narcissistic lover; and a new, positive prison romance began to blossom.
3. Breanna's "truth" stands still even as the world around her trembles and burns! Bad things do happen to good people; and Breanna is the perfect example of this truth.
4. Breanna's inner strengths and principles eventually win out over the corruption and evil that surrounds her. With God's help, Breanna survives the horrible experiences of prison life and regains her self-confidence and hope for a better life.
5. "Breanna" was an inmate at Tutwiler Women's Prison from 2007 to 2009.
6. "Breanna" benefitted from women's prison ministries and the LIFE Tech-Wetumpka state-funded self-help program.
Sincerely,
Heather Heaton

Customer/Reader Review of “Her Letters from Prison”
Heather, ever since you first contacted me about your ebooks (and when I received them) I have been giving them traction. At least two women on my case load checked them out, (like a library card so I would get them back) and were very moved by the content. I haven’t had another problem with their behavior since they read them. So…I know they are working. They should be required reading, ordered by a Judge before women are sentenced to probation, so that they would fully understand the consequences of their behavior.
