INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Nina Rae - Foster an Author - Spotlight

Have you met Nina yet?


Nina started writing short stories at a young age. After leaving school she never thought about it again, until she saw an ad in a magazine for a writing competition. The story was to be only 2.5k words. By the time Nina had finished the first draft, she had written 10k and there was no way she could shorten it. Once all the re-writing had been done, she had written 110k. As the book was rather large, it was decided to put it into 2 books and in so doing The Secrets and The Sins of Springfields, were born. Nina is a working medium and teacher of holistic healing, spiritual & personal development.

Her belief is that we are spiritual beings experiencing a human life. Her books have some of the experiences she has had in life and how she has overcome them. She has studied with several great mediums / teachers and has used that knowledge to help others with their spiritual development.

Living in the Highlands of Scotland, gave Nina great inspiration for her books. Nina loves to read and has now gone one step further and written her own books. Nina has always felt an affinity with the gypsy way of life and on researching for these books realised that a lot of their beliefs are very similar to her own. Nina now lives in Norfolk, where a new series of books are in the making. Books 1-3 were born in Scotland and book 4 in Norfolk, with book 5 in progress. She hopes that you enjoy the journey her books take you on and that you can learn something from the lessons her characters had.

LIFE IS A LESSON OUR SPIRIT HAS CHOSEN TO TAKE IN HUMAN FORM.

“The Secrets of Springfields is one of such rare book, which you cannot put down unless and until you read its last page. A family drama was written in a simple but constructive language, full of emotion (I could not resist tears while reading Richard's last letter.). I recommend this sweet story to everyone, especially those who love Romantic stories. All characters teach us something about our life and the universality of love through their journey. Very rarely we get such good stories to read.

The Devlin name once again strikes a chord with Amelia and sends Hope spiralling back to the very distant past. But what and who will she find there? Why does she need to go? And will she ever find her way back? Hope is drawn back in time when things were simpler and easier, and she enjoys the simplicity of it all.

Which path should she take?

Hope is going through a maelstrom and doesn’t know which way to turn and who to turn to for advice, as they have all passed. She will need to trust in the Higher Power and all her training to right the wrongs.....

“Being a fan of realistic fiction, this is the first time I am reading a mystical or a fantasy story and I loved it. To start with I loved the name of the protagonist. Somewhere, the name itself connected well with me.”
