How a Star Falls by Amber Stokes ~ One Year Anniversary, Cover Reveal + Giveaway!

A Note from the Author

A year ago today (November 18th), my little star story, How a Star Falls, landed on Amazon. I’m thrilled to celebrate the anniversary of its release with you by introducing a brand-new cover (where the hero, Derrick, makes an appearance) and sharing a fun  giveaway with prizes from some of my favorite Etsy shops!

If you journeyed with Derrick and Brielle when their story first released, thank you for allowing them into your heart. And if this will be your first time meeting them, I hope you’ll be encouraged by their story and reminded of the hope of Psalm 138:8: “The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me.”
Blessings through life’s seasons!

About the Book

Sweet New Adult Contemporary Romance Novella

How does a star fall? 

Quickly. Completely. Unexpectedly.

Derrick Knolane escapes to Trinidad Head most evenings, avoiding his apartment and
planning for the day he'll break free of Humboldt County. Working in a music store might
be fine for a while, but it's far from the goal he had in mind when he got his college
degree. Not to mention the fact that his roommate is a jerk and his family won't stop
trying to run his life.

Then Brielle falls into his world.

She claims to be a star. Not from Hollywood, but from heaven. He thinks she's crazy.
Certainly delusional. Yet, he can't just leave her alone on the cliffs. So he takes her
home.

And his whole world falls apart.

A heartfelt and fanciful contemporary romance novella, How a Star Falls explores the
uncertain season of new adulthood and shows that sometimes the worst
inconveniences make for the best miracles of all.

This novella is available in the following formats: 

2-hour unabridged audiobook ($6.95)
Paperback ($6.99)
Kindle ebook ($.99)
