Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!
Review: I am a Jacquelin Thomas fan but for some reason I never chose to read Singsation. I think it was mostly because I have no interest in the music industry. Well, I finally decided to give it a try and let me tell you I was more than pleasantly suprised.

This book is written extremely well. The characters are wonderful and so is the message. I was so touched the end when Debra came to to the revelation of how she would use her gift, interwined with the memories of her friend's words that I actually began to cry. It moved me in a way that I never expected. Being in God's will is a number one priority for me and Debra Ann's discovery of that was awesome.

This novel was truly inspired by God and I thank Jacquelin Thomas for doing God's will and writing it.

Don't pass this one by!

Summary: A Triumphant & Spiritually Uplifting Novel
Review: Meet Deborah Anne from a little country town called Villa Rica, GA. Deborah Anne has a gift which God gave her and that was the gift of song. During the course of this story, Debroah was use to singing in the church were she grew up. One Sunday Triage came to church with his grandmother and discovered Deborah Anne's hidden talent and wanted to help her further her career. Once Triage got a chance to talk to Deborah Anne and convince her to send in a demo tape of her songs, her life began to change. Deborah always dreamed that one day she would be a "Super Star Singer" and that dream came true. God opened the doors for her and what she did with it was her decision. But Deborah had to endure a lot first before she came to the conclusion that the one door God needed to open for her was her own door. The door that would allow her to sing the type of music God intended for her to sing. Go through the trials and tribulations of a wonderfully written novel were dreams can come true. "Singsation" is a delightfully written novel and I would encourage you to enjoy the message deep within the story ...Dreams Can and Do come True.

Congralutations Ms. Thomas on yet another Great novel. You have a tremendous gift and I hope that God continues to Bless You on Your Journey...

Although she believed her voice was a blessing, she feared that it wouldn't transform into anything more.

Summary: Overnight Success
Review: Singsation is Jacquelin Thomas' mainstream fictional debut novel. Singsation was the first book that I've ever read by Thomas so I wasn't quite sure of what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised that it was an entertaining and well written novel.

Deborah Ann has been gifted by God with a wonderful singing voice but so far the only folks who have heard are her family, friends and the members of her church family in a small southern town called Villa Rica, GA. She yearns to be discovered and whisked away to Hollywood where she can become an international star but she's not sure of how to break into the industry. Fate intervenes and overnight she goes from small-town USA to Miss Hollywood. Triage Blue, is a homeboy who moved to Los Angeles and made it big in the entertainment field. But as successful as he is he still hasn't forgotten his roots. One Sunday, when he's home visiting his grandmother, he stops by Mountain Baptist Church and hears Deborah Ann's voice. Realizing that she has a great voice (and that he's attracted to her) he encourages her to send a demo tape to him in Los Angeles so that he can forward it to a friend who's looking for a backup singer. In a matter of weeks, actually overnight, Deborah Ann goes from singing gospel in the church choir to singing backup for Lavelle Roberts, one of the country's top R&B artists.

Deborah Ann soon discovers that Hollywood/Los Angeles is quite different from her small hometown and that the glamorous lifestyle she's entered is more worldly than what she's used to or desires. Deborah Ann always said that even when she made it as a popular recording artist, she would remember God, Prayer, Church and Bible Study. But as the demands of her career increase and she's tempted by the pressures of the industry, she realizes that her spiritual life is floundering. Can Deborah Ann really serve two masters? Tested by the temptations of the road and Triage, Deborah Ann struggles to hold fast to her faith. She must search deep within herself to uncover her deepest desires and make a choice about God's place in her life.

Singsation is a well-written book and was a delightful read. I enjoyed reading about the entertainment industry and getting a behind the scene look at the intricacies of the trade. However, at times, I felt that the storyline read like a fairy tale as everything was just too good to be true. Nevertheless, I believe that fans of Jacquelin Thomas will enjoy her mainstream novel, and I look forward to reading other books by this talented author.

Summary: Christian Romance That Warms The Heart and Represents JESUS
Review: This book was given to me at Christmas as a gift and it took me three months to get around to reading it. I selected it as an air travel book and I am glad that I did. This is the first pleasure book that I have wanted to and have actually read twice (and all in four days).

When I opened this book to begin reading it I knew I would find at least one thing about it I like since it is a book about a black female and I could identify with this. I seldom read the jacket of a cover especially when it is given to me by someone because I don't want to insult the gift by never picking it up based on a few excerpts.

When I opened Singsation I had no idea that I would enjoy the book and that it would help me to begin to move beyond my failed marriage to laughing and enjoying love again.

Deborah Ann is who we all wish we could be at one time or another. Not just a star but a strong Christian woman that does not waver in her faith no matter what the situation is. The delight in the book came from being able to identify with the woman, the environment, and the spiritual.

No, Singsation is not real life but it is the most delightful and heartwarming way to start building a foundation for real life. The author provided a road map for Christian living using real life examples of the things Christian woman come up against everyday.

Jacquelin Thomas made this 40 plus woman feel young again. I am definitely praying for a sequel and Jacquelin don't change the fantasy. It's ok to step out of reality.

Sisters, READ THIS BOOK. Love will take on a new meaning.
