ALL THAT GLITTERS

BY AUTHOR

D.L.Sparks

"I just finished reading your book.  I know that was fast but anytime I can't put down a book, I know it is the best.  Your book was so wonderful to me.  It had so many messages in it that enriched me.  It reminded me of when I first read one of Zane's, Eric Jerome Dickey's and E. Lynn Harris' books.  All I can say is thank you for that and lot of young women my age need to read that book and I will do my best to spread the word.  Much Love and Blessings. P.S. thank for the bible verse it confirmed a lot for me."

"I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I enjoyed your book!! I was such a great read. I met you at your book signing...I read the book in a few days.  Your book was so descriptive, that I  made a mind movie of the entire book.  I enjoyed all the characters, and the setting of the book was very familiar.  Also, I enjoyed the many messages in your book."

"Sparks also showed great creativity by including a murder into this storyline that added just the right amount of excitement. The moral of this story is that all that glitters isn’t gold and that everyone is accountable for their own actions. All That Glitters is a fast-paced and entertaining novel. This is an explosive start to D. L. Sparks writing career."

-Radiah Hubbert (Urban-Reviews.com)

"ALL THAT GLITTERS is a sure fire page-turner. The character development is creatively wrapped around the drama that Santee encounters. The story has twists and turns that this reader never expected which made this reader finish the book in one setting. ALL THAT GLITTERS has a few gangsta characters but its not what I would consider urban lit as the plot doesn't focus on the drugs, murder, or videotapes rather on the relationships that behavior changes. Sparks definitely ranks among my new favorites and is an author everyone should watch."

- Deltareviewer (Real Page Turners Reviews)

"...I loved the twists you placed inside the book (I'm a big fan of this technique) and incorporating current events into All That Glitters. Also, I loved the way you incorporated Atlanta because I've been to the Cumberland Mall and could imagine myself sitting down in the food court...Thanks so much for writing an entertaining novel, DL, and also inspiring me to get back to basics by creating well-written novels that touch another person's life in a positive way."

- Bill Holmes (ESSENCE® Best Selling Author of One Love)

"D.L.Sparks brings a fresh new perspective to urban fiction. She has crafted a story that isn't bogged down with the elements of street life, instead she expertly brings the story to life through characters that are real and a storyline that hits home emotionally for anyone who has ever felt that they were alone with nowhere to turn. With her witty dialogue and larger than life scenes, I recommend this author to anyone who is looking to add a new "Favorite" to their list. I look forward to reading more from this author."

"This was the absolute best book that I have read in a very long time. I could hardly put the book down. D.L. articulates a very realistic story that places readers right in the midst of the story. This is definitely a book I recommend to all of my family and friends. Can't wait for the next release..."

  “All That Glitters is a fast-paced, quick, and easy read… This is a must read for anyone looking to read a well-paced story, and also for a person that suffers from the green-eyed monster called jealousy.

"All That Glitters is a compelling, engaging and wonderfully written story. D.L. Sparks is a great storyteller who presents a realistic peek into the life of Santee Mitchell,

a girl seemly at her wits end who makes one bad decision after another. But she soon finds out some decisions can cost you more than you bargain for. I enjoyed reading All That Glitters so much that I could not put it down!"

- Terren Grimble (author of Love Lesson's)

“…through skillful wit, humor and intrigue, D.L. takes the reader on a journey…with a satisfying and carefully crafted tale that is both entertaining and thought provoking. D.L. teaches us a lesson about the dangers of jealousy and lack of prioritizing one’s life. D.L.Sparks has penned a great tale that is a must read…”
