Praise for "Everlasting" and "Melody"
“‘Melody’ sounds like a refreshing change of pace with a bit of mystery stirred in for good measure. After reading her Strebor debut, ‘Everlasting’ I have been anxious to see what else Stacy-Deanne has up her literary sleeve.”
----Stephanie Wilkerson-Hester, Founder
