LK Hunsaker's Blog: News and Ponderances - Posts Tagged "fiction"

I'm on Donna's blog today talking about the inspiration behind my newest release, Protect The Heart.

This is an "insider" kind of post that opens up a bit of my family background. It's not something I do often, but some stories need to be told.

A free ebook is up for the winning!

Protect the Heart: background, with Donna Hatch

Congrats to my 3 winners for the signed print copies of Protect The Heart! I'm humbled and gratified by the interest in this story, as shown by the 654 entrants and the 40+ members who marked it to-read.

A bit of background: this was my one month first draft write for last year's Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). I participate every year because it encourages a frenzy of "get it on paper and fix it later!" that brings out true and pure creativity.

I went into this one with the very bare idea of a story, pulled in a couple of main characters, added another, and let them go where they wanted. A few of my fabulous fans who read every book I put out said this is the best so far.

It was very much inspired by real life and very much a tribute. The books will go out to the winners today. I hope it will touch their hearts in some way.

Be on the lookout. I'll continue giveaways right here at Goodreads with each new release.

For a short time, I've made the ebook version of Finishing Touches, my debut novel from 2003 a free download. Next year I plan a re-release, with its sequel, so I wanted to start drawing attention.



You can get it at Smashwords in any format or at BN.com, Kobo, Diesel, & iTunes, and Sony and Apple should have it soon.

I recently read The Old Mermaid's Tale and fell in love with it. Not content to just read it and move along, I contacted Kathleen Valentine for a possible interview. She was kind enough to offer her time.

It's up on my indie arts blog:

Highly recommended read!
