He maintains order in the timeline, he hunts down those who would time jump for their own purposes. But sometimes Fate intervenes.<br /><br />After a lifetime of living with illness, Lady Fiona McClure is proving to herself that she is finally healthy in an attempt to swim across the loch. If she makes it, maybe then her overprotective father won’t treat her as a child anymore. When she is snatched and dragged ashore by a man who thought she was drowning, her heart races for reasons that have nothing to do with the swim and everything to do with the man standing before her.<br /><br />With a mission to finish, Declan can’t allow distractions, and Lady Fiona is definitely a distraction. But he’s discovering that living for the next mission isn’t as exciting as it used to be. Staying in the past is forbidden, but Fiona McClure is his destiny.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541833269819022855.post-31907513028200865902024-02-09T03:00:00.000-08:002024-02-09T03:00:00.169-08:00Love and Romance Book Festival <p><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: "PT Sans Narrow", Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Calling all romance readers!

I think this is just one of those random photos that reminds me of how much I enjoy our daily walks. And as you know, Lily passed away over the summer, but this book really started because of her. And Conan and she were joined at the hip, so it's only right that he's part of it too. </i></div></i><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>A few years ago, my husband was walking our dogs when our girl Lily took off chasing a rabbit. She didn't usually do that, but it was so close! She was still leashed though and hurt her knee. My husband had to carry her back down the trail in the nearby canyon and my dogs are not small. Her 120lbs was a lot to carry home about a mile or so. Meanwhile our male, Conan, was trotting along having the time of his doggie life. It turned out Lily had torn a ligament. She did have surgery and her new bionic knee was only one-upped when my son tore something in his knee. The two of them are twins now! lol<br />Here's the opening to <b>Dangerous Past</b>, and I bet you can see some similarities:</div><div><br />***************</div><div><br />Lark Seawell had never realized how heavy her dog was until she’d had to carry her. Good grief, Daisy was heavy. As soon as she was healed, Daisy would be going on a diet. Light doggy kibbles only. The mountain trail felt uphill both ways, and she still had a quarter of a mile to go.<br />She looked down at her other dog, Bandit. “And you’re no help,” she grumbled. “All you’re doing is peeing on things.” He wagged his tail and marked a tree; his goofy doggy smile made her grin for a moment, before Daisy’s weight forced her to stop again. Lark set her down gently. The poor girl didn’t even whimper.<br />Lark was pretty sure her dog had twisted her knee chasing a squirrel. She was praying nothing was torn or broken. Unfortunately, she didn’t have her phone with her. She grimaced. Not that it would matter; she had no one to call.<br />She was just passing through on her way to Oregon, and Chester, California had looked like a nice small town where she could grab some food, a coffee, and let her dogs out to stretch their legs. Too bad one of them had other ideas.<br />“Okay, break time’s over,” she announced to the dogs, arching her back to stretch it. She bent down to pick up Daisy once more when her back protested. Aw crap. Stretching it some more, she wondered if she could get her SUV up here. The path was too small, maybe an ATV, but definitely not her car.<br />Looking down at Bandit, the idiot was trying to wrestle Daisy. Maybe she could tie Daisy off, and jog Bandit back to the car, so at least she’d only have to worry about one dog? Daisy wasn’t going anywhere with that knee, so Lark tied the leash to the tree, and with a scritch behind the ear, she told her she’d only be a minute, and jogged off. The half a mile felt incredibly long with her sore back, but she covered it quickly. Loading Bandit into the back seat, she cracked the window and hoped no one thought she was a bad dog owner for leaving him there.<br />Glancing up, she saw three men talking in front of the coffee shop she was parked across from. The Coffee Chaser, she noticed. She was in the same old yoga pants she had worn yesterday and a tank top, her honey blonde hair pulled up in a messy ponytail, but hopefully, she didn’t smell, and she prayed they would help her anyway.<br />She could use the help, her back could use the break, and they looked strong. This was a logging town after all; they were probably very fit lumberjacks. Although they didn’t look like any lumberjacks she’d seen around. Her instincts were usually pretty good, though, and for some reason, when she looked at them, she saw men who would help her.<br />She jogged over to them, “Hi, My name’s Lark, and I was wondering if you’d like to help me rescue my dog?” As they looked past her to her car, she stammered, “Umm, my other dog.”<br />“Of course,” one of them answered. He was tall—they all were, come to think of it. But it was his eyes that she stared into, and it was him she replied to.<br />“Thank you.”<br />She led them to where she’d tied her girl off, and luckily, none of them minded jogging.<br />“Who’s mommy’s good girl? You’re such a good girl,” she crooned to her dog as they got close. The poor dear tried to stand, but Lark was there in an instant. “Oh no you don’t, baby girl.”<br />“Can one of you guys carry her? I’ve carried her from the top of the trail, and I think I’m tapped out.”<br />“You carried her?” The man with short dark hair and mocha skin didn’t look as if he believed her.<br />“Yep.”<br />They eyed her doubtfully. Lark knew what they saw. A five-and-a-half-foot girl who didn’t look like she could carry a hundred-pound dog down a mountain trail. But adrenaline and stress helped the body do amazing things.<br />“I’ll probably have to live off Advil for the next month,” she joked, “but yeah, I got her this far down the trail.”<br />The same man-, the one who’d doubted she could carry her own dog, hefted Daisy up and carried her while Lark chattered.<br />The hike to her car seemed like it took forever, and since Lark knew how heavy her dog was, she kept glancing at the man carrying her. He didn’t pause once to adjust the weight. He didn’t even look out of breath. Of course, the guy was over six feet tall and looked pretty built. But still, a hundred-pound dog for almost half a mile seemed like he should at least break a sweat.<br />“Thank you so much!” Lark chirped. She babbled when she was nervous, or anxious, or happy, okay the point was that Lark babbled. And she knew it, so she was trying extra hard not to chatter these men’s ears off. They’d helped her, and the last thing they needed was her chewing their ears off.<br />But she did need to know if there was a local vet she could see. This would mean her savings took a hit, but her pup needed an x-ray, well, hopefully that’s all she needed. An x-ray she could afford, but something like an MRI would be out of her budget. Ugh, she’d have to make it work.<br />“So, can I buy you amazing dog rescuers a coffee and perhaps get the local vet’s number while I’m at it?” Coffee for her personal heroes was absolutely in the budget, though.<br />The man who had held Daisy hadn’t stopped staring at her. It was either creepy or cute, she hadn’t decided yet. Maybe he recognized her?<br />“Yes, thank you,” the other man said, drawing her attention back.<br />He didn’t seem to recognize her so at least there was that.<br />“Great!” Lark hesitated and looked back at her car. “I don’t want to leave my dogs, though,” Lark murmured, more to herself than the men.<br />“How about vet first, coffee after?”<br />Lark bit her lip. “I don’t actually know where the vet is.” Her big eyes met his. “Do you?”<br />He laughed. “I don’t. How about while we very quickly get coffee, we ask them where the vet is.”<br />That would work. “It’s a plan!”<br />All links:<div class="x1e56ztr" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white;

Dangerous Past is up on Netgalley, so if anyone is a reviewer, feel free to request (<a href="https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/304804">I'll link it here</a>).</p><p>I'm slowly getting it up as a pre-order, but there are 2 typos I've found that I want to fix first, so remember, if you are a reviewer for Netgalley, those ARCs are advanced copies and sometimes go through more editing.</p><p>The only place it's up for pre-order now is Smashwords (<a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1464382">linked here</a>).</p><p>That all leads to the most exciting news: we have a release date! I wanted to make sure it came out this fall, so November 21, 2023 is our scheduled release date! </p><p>I have some more exciting news! I have what was supposed to be a very short story for my newsletter subscribers that has now become a long short story/short novella that will still go out free to my newsletter subscribers first, but after that will be wide. It's called <b>Dreams of the Future </b>and because it's gotten so much longer than a bonus freebie should be, it's also spawned off another novel in the Fatal Instincts series! So as of now, we have a couple new things in the Fatal Instincts world coming to you all.</p><p>Keep an eye on this website and my newsletter, they don't have the same content, so it's best if you subscribe to the newsletter as well. It's free and I send out like 4 or 5 a year so I won't spam you ever.</p><p>And without further ado, here is Dangerous Past, a story USA Today bestselling author Katie Reus has called a "thrilling romantic suspense."</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPfMd9LYVqpRTMBs3AxrriyzxsY-wvj5tH1id_hE4CtnZNSlNlwfuDWfaXm22yFbvfGBgWd_LlozO_nNltITo0UHTwDKJko66RyDkB9vMH4Yuy7ctbC811rlWJTiKUptaQX0Kz8ahXhOi5fwvLrete_VAQ8skdHfrAlYJF_A7LPV2ucoj4S1H45o_2nJY/s2850/DangerousPast_Final_updated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2850" data-original-width="1900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPfMd9LYVqpRTMBs3AxrriyzxsY-wvj5tH1id_hE4CtnZNSlNlwfuDWfaXm22yFbvfGBgWd_LlozO_nNltITo0UHTwDKJko66RyDkB9vMH4Yuy7ctbC811rlWJTiKUptaQX0Kz8ahXhOi5fwvLrete_VAQ8skdHfrAlYJF_A7LPV2ucoj4S1H45o_2nJY/s320/DangerousPast_Final_updated.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br />A one night stand with an FBI agent puts Lark in the cross hairs of an investigation into a serial killer.

This means I can update the covers and I have so badly wanted to do that.</p><p>Some big decisions need to be made though. I don't think I want to edit it much. I originally thought I would do so, but the more I think about when other authors have re-edited their books, I realized it kind of annoys me to see the book changed. I may do some light editing, but I do think I'm leaving in the flip phone, especially as the books are time travels, and we see the changes in each story. I will be writing an author's note, though, to let readers know that it has been lightly edited and I'll let you all know if anything changed (beyond the one typo that has always bugged me!).</p><p>I have already engaged a cover designer and I'll be using my amazing editor Rebecca Cartee, so I think that's half the battle. </p><p>Some more good news is that I can self publish these books and I'll be able to do another print run! Back when Amazon bought out Create Space, New Concepts Publishing stopped selling the books in print, and if you have one of the original out of print copies of <b>Highland Destiny</b>, you are one of the lucky ones!</p><p>The only downside to this is that now I'm in charge of everything. I'm in the middle of getting my masters, I work full time, I have children and a life, so time is precious to me right now and I don't have much of it. I would like to make this my summer project, so fingers crossed and all the prayers I can have the books up and ready this summer.</p><p>In the meantime, I'm leaving the books up on my website because I don't want to confuse readers who come here looking for them. I'll update the covers as I get them, and I'll always keep you all in the loop. That being said, I do have <b>Dangerous Past</b> coming out soon, along with a surprise bonus that will probably go out to my newsletter subscribers first. So don't forget to sign up, and I'll make sure you're the first to know!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJP21q6uKo7P5JjEBgJIKbxfdUKaFiykcnOaWnseeUsvixYrgBaEwgKnq1I8eJPVkWNsbwV4b_Onp_mVAxrPXnKL78pMi9SS8fFhFgFN86mphf4Yxhm6NkkN9hNvy1WCYbDOGjGCpiBZkCKATiydr3g-rmCaOWF7qDTlbtOivow5Esl5dfMVkI18qS/s320/IMG_4096.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJP21q6uKo7P5JjEBgJIKbxfdUKaFiykcnOaWnseeUsvixYrgBaEwgKnq1I8eJPVkWNsbwV4b_Onp_mVAxrPXnKL78pMi9SS8fFhFgFN86mphf4Yxhm6NkkN9hNvy1WCYbDOGjGCpiBZkCKATiydr3g-rmCaOWF7qDTlbtOivow5Esl5dfMVkI18qS/s1600/IMG_4096.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541833269819022855.post-2956421670326407382022-11-19T22:17:00.003-08:002022-11-19T22:17:39.950-08:00Book Dango Promotion for Highland Eclipse<p> Hello my lovelies!

I’m excited to say, she is hooked! She’s so hooked that we had to run to Target to buy the movies. <br />We spent the whole first week of summer break bingeing the series. She’s reading the second book now, and as I found, she bought herself a couple of things (thanks one click amazon LOL).<br />She one clicked herself a cursive practice book! I’m not even mad! <br />(Pardon my laundry which I covered for you all) but seriously how cute is she? So she’s watching the movies dressed as Hermione, has a wand, her cursive practice books, and the books themselves!<br />Her love of reading bedtime stories has always been there, but this year we’ve seen her love of reading alone emerge. It used to be mom or dad reading to her. Now she’s her own little person reading her own choices. Luckily our library is fantastic and we can keep up with her addiction. <img src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t4c/1/16/1f642.png" /><br />But it got me to thinking. This might be the memory she looks back on and says, “this is where my love of reading began.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3XXSQhjNUBAPyjdH1qTIE-ZwV5cmytVydQ3hksSl4v-xzRge8iYh7ffwveFqu_sj0izl2D0wxjIpm78ZGQI56tPTvQcWKYa2MNHWe4YoSmWnLXGQrS9FBVK9rT7yrzRxl1OcF8P9hVygQ9W-5DjvkhiDlno66mGRrX-Z0UiKhzvpNVfDlf1MAFTH/s600/292271783_10220489128407720_5630740055110088463_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="449" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3XXSQhjNUBAPyjdH1qTIE-ZwV5cmytVydQ3hksSl4v-xzRge8iYh7ffwveFqu_sj0izl2D0wxjIpm78ZGQI56tPTvQcWKYa2MNHWe4YoSmWnLXGQrS9FBVK9rT7yrzRxl1OcF8P9hVygQ9W-5DjvkhiDlno66mGRrX-Z0UiKhzvpNVfDlf1MAFTH/s320/292271783_10220489128407720_5630740055110088463_n.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><br /><br />But I don't know as I've ever really shared my own "moment" with you guys.</div><p>Picture it, Sicily...just kidding, it was Eagle Lake. My parents used to take us camping all the time when I was little, and when I was 13, I fished a little, but I don't really love camping, so I was wandering around the campgrounds when I discovered a small library at the campsite. It was full of Harlequin categories. My little heart was in love. I had been a reader since I was about 4 years old. When I was 10, a library was built within walking distance of my house and I lived there, so I had always read. But I had read what was available, and what was familiar. And in my house, that was my dad's Science Fiction and Fantasy collection.</p><p>Reading Romance that three day weekend meant I read 3-4 books per day and did zero fishing or hiking. I was fully okay with that. I took home one of the books (sorry, Eagle Lake!) and I used the Harlequin post card to sign up for their monthly book subscription service. I don't think I ever really missed the Sci Fi/Fantasy books my dad had. Romance is where my heart lies.</p><p>The first actual book I remember reading after that camping trip was one I found in my mom's nightstand. A Laurel O'Donnell book called <a href="https://amzn.to/3oHXpMU">The Angel and The Prince</a>. This book was everything. And the heroine was a warrior! She wasn't just the damsel in distress! My little teenage heart was in love. </p><p>So, tell me now, do you remember your first Romance book? Do you remember when your love of reading really set in? Or was it always just there, a part of you? Tell me in the comments!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3oHXpMU" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="289" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJMhprbhfbSpWbqc8IQdeih46mSKGsxNjxgFoRhjh_TTE5T8_0cBkc_hyN_NquKp8HfqMIi2JuQAUXXPqY9AfR8Z-CSNsx8MW_qpMcKPkfgKd8aX-GrnSYz8g-7ik2E2VoC6w4CcFuDVH459YF6VVMLui-oGXPshsCyPEosfqap9zRWwh0-5yA9l4/s320/2602909.jpg" width="195" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541833269819022855.post-30846571329770251802022-06-25T00:00:00.001-07:002022-06-25T00:00:00.165-07:00The Book Made Me Do It<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The other day a friend asked if there was anything a book had ever influenced you to do? As in, let’s say you were taking a trip to London. Have all of those Regencies made you want to see Vauxhall? Or Covent Garden? How about those Scottish Romances? Did you buy your man (or self!) a kilt? Well, my answer is a lot less normal and incredibly embarrassing. </span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-0fc0e85f-7fff-abdc-44bf-4eb15a3db1ec"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In my teens, I was all about the Harlequin categories. I devoured them. I was in the subscription service and I was obsessed with the Australian Outback romances. There was one in particular....I wish I could find the book for you, I really do. But here goes. I was so in love with one book that I bought the outfit the heroine was wearing. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In my mind I was this adventurous heroine who would one day meet her rugged Australian hero and Chris Hemsworth, uh I mean, the random man who had no resemblance whatsoever to any actors, would sweep me off my feet. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In reality?

But you know I did! I held the straps of my purse very tightly so I wouldn't be tempted to touch anything, because boy did I want to touch! I got to look at pages from a Book of Hours from the Middle Ages, I got to see something Napoleon had signed. I mean this place was pretty awesome, and I just knew you could appreciate it.</p><p>I have never been inside a rare book shop before, so this was such a unique experience. How about you?

As we usher in the New Year, I've been thinking about resolutions. I don't usually make them, but I do usually set some goals and I think this year I will actually set one. I'll share a post I wrote for the <a href="http://smartgirlsreadromance.blogspot.com/2021/12/be-present-not-perfect-by-laura-hunsaker.html">Smart Girls Read Romance Blog</a>:</p><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_kdy2P0cLtYvvKYWDn4128rs6K1JMqmsbyW6kiHuvwKAZmgyaDLauLXZUWMCRs8cdxdjGLAE_2OJlVB6DxLoDFcxjGzMknCdVyi8Yk4EbxyuxJvgkOo40ZWQQzQZJvyAfxEp6GjzbMKl_DYZuadYhesnOv1_U5d_v09DTRlB3aLGGXI7T6rF1IHxj=s320" /><i><br /><br />This past year and a half has been hard in so many ways, and this year, with Christmas just having past, feels like it's driving in the point of how much I missed.<br /><br />I feel like I've procrastinated so many things I normally wouldn't, and I've missed out on things I typically wouldn't. I was feeling pretty down this year. I mean, I didn't even send out Christmas cards! First time in almost 20 years that I didn't send out Christmas cards!<br /><br />I was setting up my planner for the week, getting ready for the New Year, when I came across as sticker that said, "Be Present, Not Perfect." That one really hit home for me. I don't need it to be perfect, I need to be present in my life, in my family's lives. But it doesn't have to be perfect. I think this is my new motto.<br /><br />I know it's not quite New Year's Day yet, but I think that my New Year's Resolution is to be present, not perfect.<br /><br />How about you? Are you a New Year's resolution type person? Do you set them and forget them? </i><p><b>May 2022 be a wonderful year for all of us.

But when a vision convinces him the woman who saved his prized pen from a snowy grave is in danger of being injured by a faulty mask, he takes it upon himself to make her a new one.<br /><br />Goaltender Carly Fein is trying out for the New York Empires, and the last thing she needs is the complication of an artist. But when she agrees to let him make her a new mask, Bryce Emerson finds his way under her skin.<br /><br />Can Bryce and Carly figure out what happens when they’re caught in the crossfire of love and hockey? Or will the stress of new love and competition drive them apart.<br /><br /><b>Crashing the Net by Isabo Kelly</b><br /><br />Billionaire Connor Evans needs a challenge. Trying out for the New York Empires’ hockey team fits the bill, even if it is just a publicity stunt and a way to shut his twin brother up. Running into the woman who left him six years earlier, a woman he’s never gotten over, is not part of the plan. Once he sees Matty, though, Connor knows he can’t let her go again. But he’s got secrets he can’t risk sharing. And Matty is the one person who could uncover those secrets if he lets her get too close.<br /><br />After traveling the world, Matilda Thomson is ready for a real job and a more stable life. Her internship with the New York Empires will give her the experience she needs to move into that future. But first, she has to face Connor again, and one of the most painful losses she’s ever experienced. The only way she can move forward is to confront her feelings and risk her heart one more time.<br /><br />Heat and passion spark as hot as ever between them. But trust doesn’t come easy. And if Connor can’t open up and let Matty in this time, he’ll lose her forever.<br /><br /><b>Against the Boards by Kenzie MacLir</b><br /><br />Kyle Sandberg is living his best life. He’s one of the top hockey players in the world. Has two amazing best friends and all the sarcastic hockey t-shirts he could wear. After his own family turns their backs on him, he’s happy playing for the Empires and hanging out with his own found family. What he doesn’t want is his pain in the ass twin brother back in his life or a mate.<br /><br />When paramedic Faith Church left Puerto Rico for New York, she had zero intentions of getting involved in the local pack. Having had her fill of pack politics, she was ready to go lone wolf. But being left alone was too much to ask when her cousin was the Alpha’s mate.<br /><br />What neither was counting on was Fate, having her own plans for them. A chance encounter at a traffic accident changes everything. Kyle and his wolf are willing to go with Fate’s plans. But Faith, having finally broken away from her pack’s expectations wants nothing to do with Fate, or Kyle. Too bad her wolf disagrees…</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ9m81_9m3jAoYKwciTOrr4c0A89JLc3EZHAbZUbvFuNNWdHs0SCx8BBcNY9mq8eVXfcfvzJM4CI1hZr72bCsBf1n87irJsHEWAlMJvZBq65Lcpss8YWandUrZsei0ej3EvNAiZQAZJSE/s1875/postcard_updated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1875" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ9m81_9m3jAoYKwciTOrr4c0A89JLc3EZHAbZUbvFuNNWdHs0SCx8BBcNY9mq8eVXfcfvzJM4CI1hZr72bCsBf1n87irJsHEWAlMJvZBq65Lcpss8YWandUrZsei0ej3EvNAiZQAZJSE/s320/postcard_updated.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541833269819022855.post-29423412684934032442021-04-17T21:57:00.000-07:002021-04-17T21:57:01.437-07:00Murder Shows<p>When I was a kid, we didn't have cable, at least not until I was a teenager (the '90s). So when I stayed home sick from school, it was daytime TV. My favorite show was Unsolved Mysteries. I remember my sister and I would watch it together during summer break, and it was such an exciting series. We would get caught up in the mysteries and theorize as best as we could in the pre-internet era. </p><p>But now...not only is Unsolved Mysteries back (thank you Netflix!), but there are so many other options! I think it started for me a couple of years ago when a makeup YouTuber I watch was doing a Mystery Monday (<a href="bella fiori">Bella Fiori</a>) series and I was hooked. I started looking into the unsolved mysteries she talked about, and then I found that it was a "thing." You know, not just a one-off, but that there were so many other channels that covered similar topics, and that lots of people were like me where we were incredibly intrigued by all the cases that weren't only unsolved, but were sometimes unexplainable.</p><p>Next up was Buzzfeed Unsolved, then podcasts, and so many more (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtPrkXdtCM5DACLufB9jbsA">Mr. Ballen - a Navy SEAL who now tells us all scary stories</a> is my current fave). </p><p>So imagine my delight when I saw the SNL Murder shows video!

We of course had to define what she meant by "villain," and we decided that Lisa Kleypas' <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FCKRDI/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000FCKRDI&linkId=9e60cbfbc512b8c7135a500112faa905">Devil in Winter</a> is the best example.</p><p>Jennifer Ashley does a good job with those grey area type heroes. They aren't good, they aren't bad, they're somewhere in the middle. She has a dragon series called Dragon Series and in the first book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/042521589X/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=042521589X&linkId=84fba49bd979c338212a7e3415a6f314">Dragon Heat</a>, Malcolm is the bad guy...but he isn't, not really. So it was no surprise when he got his own book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0425218449/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0425218449&linkId=7ac55e4e82834705e27bd6a913153637">The Black Dragon</a>. She's done this trope well in her Shifters Unbound series as well.</p><p>Cynthia Eden- In the Dark Obsessions series, Ethan Barclay is almost always the first suspect in each book. He's not a good guy...but he's not really a bad guy either. In <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0108PL7SK/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0108PL7SK&linkId=7f419ce3692bc62f05d401f833655b4e">Beware of Me</a>, he gets his story, and I really liked the way the author did it.</p><p>Another of her books that does this trope well is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XVS4X6F/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07XVS4X6F&linkId=c5d8fee16b9ae3d5733c7e0f70245493">Ghost of a Chance</a>. In the Wilde Ways series, there's a book where who we think is the villain of the piece...isn't. And it turns out, he makes a pretty good hero in his own book.</p><p>So what other books should we add to this list?</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzus76BrzD1UOZ55rWyV2Qj9Vdzzgq9vq8kRbZwG3c-WDDt4mhHY0oyh7aFTDY39Y7hPm7VDZFsDhiEc5E2FQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541833269819022855.post-72664148523540897742021-03-30T14:23:00.001-07:002021-03-30T14:23:39.131-07:00On Recycling, Reusing...and Poo<p>My youngest is obsessed with a book called <b>What Do They Do With All That Poo</b>?

When I got the rights back to DREAMS OF THE PAST, I knew I wanted to add a bonus scene so to speak. The Last Chance Beach: Summer's End box set was amazing! But it was rated G. We all know my books are not G-rated ;) so that means we have an extended scene. With the new content, comes a new cover. But that would mean that DARK PAST wouldn't match DREAMS OF THE PAST, and we can't have that. So thanks to my assistant Kelly at Author's Write Hand, I now have two new covers.</p><p>Original covers:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNVV7F9/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07QNVV7F9&linkId=580aa8c0de3e543d974b38456498961e" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXRv3ZfQfIbe6zyjSOAqIupfmkOLQ38rK2TamigQkNBR2TcZSWboJp8LWUq67vIAlgymix-O-tu2o80BXivcqsSEfGZVd5AtRy4PVSj6qcTmmq8j_1Xe4HoI1SjBsrCMv6HHO-GhAgCPA/s320/Dark-Past-SocialMedia.jpg" /></a><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QF9KXG5/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08QF9KXG5&linkId=57c4ab997691f7b58afe1d3742cca348" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHn9GjT-iTZLNNNTqFn43VIBbk_k63mktf4x7ebFsfrt9VEtuWeVIv72i8p5baWPJThyEKvQCPRCJlDofkTlF_7yGeQp9jSc_6WTKs2nVQi6ZdDRBqlD3ADCVvFBQrjhCnfKzCLn_XoU4/s320/DreamsofthePast_HiRes.jpg" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>New covers:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNVV7F9/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07QNVV7F9&linkId=580aa8c0de3e543d974b38456498961e" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-zI4dMYunJ8E3AfVRa2cDzNnnw1Ann_JoTdYD40yc8u1v-tf0Y38Ra12Cl4niMcooQxvgdOjUeanxE6up5nrJsZzUBeoGt5pnt5wTW-8rXmRXAAduOnpNSsfuO-44bUHkL7FhdWIqV-s/s320/DarkPastfresh.jpg" /></a><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QF9KXG5/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08QF9KXG5&linkId=57c4ab997691f7b58afe1d3742cca348" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9Ii2KAwBwwz-5P4VjPpsqCyaOUaRSMnXBrnWxWKIfbsNL4hCWWdtHmtkmwU7GXlgth-Ly0F_YG5yYUZX9PnsXC_hC76QrJSaCD2MRrV89HtHS-J_a1fyV84BRaqBS_1XoYIwHjstNKI/s320/DreamsOfThePastfresh.jpg" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div>Are you guys as excited as I am?

The box set <b>Last Chance Beach: Summer's End</b> has ended with the Summer. Now that we are fully into Fall, the box set has been taken down. The good news is that I will be releasing my story from the set on my own. That means if you are not a Kindle reader this is your chance, since I will release it wide (meaning at Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google, etc).</p><p>My story is <b>Dreams of the Past</b> and I will set it at $.99. This is the second story in my Fatal Instincts world and I'm almost finished with the next book in that series. I really don't want <b>Dreams of the Past</b> to be down for too long so we're looking at a January release date. </p><p>I'll send out a newsletter soon with all the details and an excerpt. You can <a href="https://mailchi.mp/f1c87f581e25/author-laura-hunsaker">sign up here </a>if you aren't already.</p><p>Thanks everyone, and I hope you're all having a lovely Fall! Perhaps we'll see some more stories take place in Last Chance Beach...I have a feeling there's more to tell over there.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QF9KXG5/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08QF9KXG5&linkId=57c4ab997691f7b58afe1d3742cca348">Pre-Order Dreams of the Past</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QF9KXG5/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=laurahunsaker-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08QF9KXG5&linkId=57c4ab997691f7b58afe1d3742cca348" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHn9GjT-iTZLNNNTqFn43VIBbk_k63mktf4x7ebFsfrt9VEtuWeVIv72i8p5baWPJThyEKvQCPRCJlDofkTlF_7yGeQp9jSc_6WTKs2nVQi6ZdDRBqlD3ADCVvFBQrjhCnfKzCLn_XoU4/s320/DreamsofthePast_HiRes.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-c7ac66fc-7fff-cd18-0f25-9828e3ac47ec"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">She needs rest, he needs relaxation…</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jenny Travers wants a fresh start.
