Book Review and GIVEAWAY!

Looking for a good book to read? A fun story with a great plot based on real-life events, with good morals and values? It is time to read Agency by Shantal Hiatt!

Part romance, part modeling adventure, this story will catch you early and never let go. From learning that she has what it takes to become a professional model to the fast-paced, sensuous ending, Michelle experiences everything from the most traditional elements of her religion to the wild and urbane city scene in which she must live in order to work. Add to that a handsome and charismatic returned missionary who falls hard for her and wants to pull her back, and you have a love story in the midst of it all. As she struggles to maintain her independence, she tries to keep her balance between the exciting life that beckons in front of the camera and her conflicting values system. She discovers that exercising her agency--a word she has heard all of her life--is not so easy.

This story is loosely based on Shantal Hiatt's real life experiences as she juggled college, modeling, and all that she believed in. Did I mention I'm lucky enough to call Shantal a friend? It's true! Look- I have picture evidence!

She's the stunning blond in black. I'm the clown in red. Hey, fun coincidence that this picture was taken at a book signing for the book I was involved in, "Don't Forget the Pepper Spray." Also, here's a fun tip- Shantal is also the face on the cover of the book!

And because I'm lucky enough to know Shantal, I get to giveaway a copy of this awesome book! Here's the deal! If you want to be entered in the contest go to the Facebook Agency fan page, "like" it, and leave a comment on the wall there saying "Erin said so!" And then, come back here, leave a comment for me letting me know you left a message there, by saying, "I said it because you said so." A winner will be picked at random on Friday! 

Want to buy your own copy now? It is available in paperback via Amazon and Lulu, or you can get it for your Kindle or Nook immediately as well!
