How’s Your Summer So Far?
Hi ,
If you didn’t notice, I didn’t send out a newsletter last month. And I felt really bad about it. But honestly, I didn’t have much to share and I kind of just ran out of time. My amazing PA assured me that ya’ll wouldn’t come after me with pitchforks. She was right… right?
My oldest heads back to school in a week and a half and I can’t believe it. It’s like summer is over, but not really because, August. I’m going to miss seeing her sometimes smiley, sometimes grumpy face the everyday sin...

May 2018 Updates
Well, hello summer! You've come early. It's mid-May, and it was 90 yesterday in Indianapolis. It seems if Spring stuck around for all of about ten minutes.
So May is a big month around here. One More Round releases on the 24th (Ekkk! That's next week). I'm so freaking excited to share this novel with the world. I've gotten some early reviews, and it seems readers are loving Simon and Gia's story as much as I do.
I want to let you know that once pre-order is up, (5/21) you will be able to pre-order OMR for only $.99! What?! Yeah, that's right. (Spoiler: Level Me Up will be on sale release week as well.) But the price of OMR will change to its normal price of $3.99 on release day. Also, some news, LMU will also change to $3.99 once the sale is over.
May's Book Recommendations
I read around eight to ten books a month. Some of from traditionally published authors that I can't get enough of. But most are from self-published author's like myself. Both of the following books blew me away. They are both new releases and I while I know both authors, that has nothing to do with how much I fell in love with these two books.
The Girl Behind the Red Door - I needed a light and fun romance and The Girl Behind the Red Door was just that. I easily connected to Charlie and Reed and their witty banter was oh so enjoyable. Reed was one swoon-worthy, practically royal. The supporting cast was fun and each worthy of their own book.
Beauty and the Beefcake - Grant had the ability to create the strongest, most lovable characters I've read in a while. Felicity was as quirky as they come and beefcake Ares was ... so damn swoony without even meaning to be. The Beauty and the Beefcake was chuckle-out-loud funny and not to mention so totally sexy!
Cheers!
Lauren

January 2018 Book Recommendations
[image error]
Look, as an author, I don’t have time to read. I should be using all my spare time writing. But I’ve got a problem, a series problem. Before I became a writer, I was an obsessive, I MEAN obsessive book nerd. That addiction still plagues me today. So while I have drastically reduced the number of books I read a month, I still spend more time than note reading. So, here is your list of January MUST READS from yours truly. To note, any book I recommend has been read by me and more so, loved by...
