Since I have small children, I usually write at night, and while I do miss sleeping, I love that I can create such a unique world. Even if it means I have to drink a pot of coffee to keep going ;)(less)

I've heard some authors treat writing like a 9-5, and hey, if that works for them, great! It definitely doesn't work for me. Even if you only get a few words down, it's more than you had before. Writing is very personal in that sense, that it's rare any two writers will have the same way of getting words on the page.(less)

Some Updates...

 Hello Lovelies!

At the end of December, my publisher New Concepts Publishing announced that they will be downsizing, and I was given the opportunity to get the rights back to Highland Destiny, Highland Games, and Highland Warriors.

This is amazing news! This means I can update the covers and I have so badly wanted to do that.

Some big decisions need to be made though. I don't think I want to edit it

Quotes by Laura Hunsaker  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You’re in love with me? Why have you never said anything?” He demanded.

“No one wants to tell someone she loves him, and have him not say it back,” her eyes dropped and she said it so softly he had to strain to hear it.”
Laura Hunsaker, Highland Destiny

“With love, lass anything is possible.”
Laura Hunsaker, Highland Destiny

“He made her feel small. Since there weren’t too many men out there who could make her feel small, this frightened her a bit. It actually frightened her more than the huge sword slung across his back.”
Laura Hunsaker, Highland Destiny

Topics Mentioning This Author

“You are mine, woman, and I am yours. Until you, my life was desolate. I existed, but I didn't truly live. Now I live, even in my death.”
Gena Showalter, The Darkest Night

“At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer.”
Chelsea Handler, My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands

“Take off your coat."
"Excuse me?"
"Take it off."
"No."
"I want it off."
"Then I suggest you hold your breath. Won't affect me in the slightest, but at least the suffocation will help pass the time for you. [Vishous to Jane]”
J.R. Ward, Lover Unbound

“As Qhuinn looked at his best friend's handsome face, he felt as if he'd never not known that red hair, those blue eyes, those lips, that jaw. And it was because of their long history that he searched for something to say, something that would get them back to where they had been. All that came to him was . . . I miss you. I miss you so fucking bad it hurts, but I don't know how to find you even though you're right in front of me.”
J.R. Ward

“Kidnapping is a national past time to these Scots and they do it for the sheer pleasure of making each other miserable.”
Claire Robyns

Catherine Yeah I'm getting back in the swing of things. My little man is now 5 months old. Time is flying by!


message 174: by Laura

Laura Hi Laura!!
YES! I'm really looking forward to chatting books with you as well!! Especially HIghlander ones!!!! (that needed even MORE !'s at the end :o))

I recently discovered Highlander books and I've been devouring them ever since. :o)

I noticed you have written books. I have them on my to-read list! I'm anxious to read them!!!

I really love to write and I want to write novels, but am a little afraid. I'm a perfectionist and it can be a good thing, but also SUPER detrimental! Ha! I don't really know where to start, but I guess I just need to!!

Looking forward to chatting about books!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope your holidays were fantastic!

~Laura~


Bespectacledreader ❤ ❤ ❤ Happy Holidays ❤ ❤ ❤




Catherine Hey! Sorry, I haven't checked my account in forever so I didn't see your comment on my profile. No clue what happened to the email notification. I've been okay. Was sick for quite a while this year with a pregnancy that had a lot of problems. Had the baby in early August and am finally feeling better. How have you been?

Temperamental Angel Hi, Laura. Thank you for accepting my friend request:D

Why yes I am a BDB fan, but Louise is fine. Tempheramental Angehl is just a joke between some of my friends, because I am both, temperamental and an angel;P

And thank you for the link, I'm going to roam through it now:D I already have quite a few highlander books on my kindle that I haven't read yet (yes amazon's 'buy with one click' button really is the devil... well at least to my bank account;P). But my biggest problem is to choose which book to read next.. haha yeah I know... this is in Denmark what we (in direct translation of the danish term) would call a luxury problem;P

Ren Puspita Hi, Laurie!! :D.

So, I know your birthday is tomorrow based on your time, but I kinda live at the future, so.

And of course not complete without some Fabio's hotness, so this is for you

Rissa Hi! Thank you for accepting my request! I've read your stories and enjoyed them a lot! =)


Michelle, the Bookshelf Stalker Laura the Highland Hussy wrote: "hey Lady! L.J. MacDonald published a free tidbit in the sylph world-24 short stories. here at smashwords"

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!


Donna (BLHmistress) Hi! How are you? Kind of back. still having internet issues so can't be on full time or long periods of time. stupid limits anyway.


Lady Allison Took me a while to find your shelves but I finally did! So I decided that I miss giving recs & reading books with people since I left the library so I'm going to bless you with both ;)

My Recs:
The Mane Event (Pride, #1) by Shelly Laurenston - seriously, you laugh your pants off at this series!
Stray (Shifters, #1) by Rachel Vincent - The first book is a little slow, but I promise this series is SO worth getting through it! I loved it!

Books we both should read & do a Buddy Read:
Show No Mercy (Black Ops, #1) by Cindy Gerard - love me some romantic suspense!
Afterlight (Dark Ink Chronicles #1) by Elle Jasper - I've read good things about this one & want someone to read it with me!

They're just for fun so if you don't have time, I totally understand - just had to give my 2 cents! ;) ♥
