Since many of you
haven't experienced my Newspaper article writing side, I thought you would
enjoy this article, which I submitted for this weeks,
Laguna Woods Globe Paper. Below this article you will find a short list
of where and when Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book Signings will
be held. I look forward to seeing you at one of these events!
Before you begin
reading my Laguna Woods Globe Article, I think it prudent to mention that when
writing about ones self it is always done as if one was writing about
someone else.

Released on
December 20, 2011, Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book One has already
found an audience! Perhaps this happened because this story about
fifteen-year-old Naomi who wants to practice her faith in public, find her
uncle, and help him raise enough money to bring their family to America is
universal. Perhaps it is because when she finds her plans thwarted, accepts an
old Tía’s help, and unwittingly enters the country illegally, the reader
experiences everything that the heroine goes through without leaving the
comfort of their own home.
All we know for
sure is that author Paula Rose Michelson must have been thrilled when within
days of this novel appearing on Amazon readers posted:
“Me encanta! Casa
de Naomi: The House of Blessing is a "can't put it down" great read.
I absolutely loved book 1, and highly recommend it. It is a perfect gift idea.
I bought some for Christmas gifts, and I can't wait for Book 2 to come out.”
Tracey Awwanda
“Michelson's
debut novel is a rich, detailed story. Blessings abound in this house in
Spanish Harlem. All the characters are compelling and appealing. Their story
draws the reader along through the tangled threads of Naomi's life. There is
never a let-up in the drama and action of this tale…For a wonderful journey to
places seldom written about, I recommend this book, and I am waiting for Book
2.” Lyn Lawrence
“This is much
more than a romance and I recommend it to men and women alike. I felt
intimately involved in the challenges facing Naomi, Chaz, and the others that
are involved in their life…The author has a way of making you really care about
the characters. You feel as if you are in that house in Spanish Harlem. I could
hear the accents of the people as they spoke; even the way they spoke English
as bilingual people was very real. I am eagerly awaiting book 2.” Heather
Micaela
“I couldn't put
it down! I was given Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book
1 as a gift. When I finally found a free moment, I picked it up and I was blown
away! The story drew me in. I found myself thinking about the characters and
the story throughout the day. I looked forward to reading it each night. I even
read until 2am one night because I just couldn't put it down! The story stayed
with me for weeks after as I found myself remembering little pieces here and
there. My only complaint was that the book ended! I cannot wait to read Book
two and find out what happens next!” Cheryl Henrikson
This story was well researched and excellently written!
Unfortunately, it is a cliffhanger...so we really want the sequel as soon as
possible! It will keep you reading until the last page when you start to look
for more!” Anthony Ort
“I finished
reading Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book 1 and it was wonderful! Every
day I looked forward to the evening when I could delve into the next chapter! I
can't wait for book two.” Cora Bant
