Lauren Dawes Street Team

 
I'm looking for new members for my street team!
I've tried having a street team before, which didn't go too well so I'm trying again. 
If you'd like to join, and get exclusive sneak peaks of my current WIPs as well as competitions and giveaways, all you have to do is click here
What do I have to do in the street team?
It's simple, really. All you have to do is be a fan of my books and writing. When I have a new book coming out, tell everyone about it on as many social media platforms as you like. Retweet, like and share images I share on Twitter, Facebook and here on my blog and Google+. If you're creative, make teaser posters or book trailers for my books and share them around.
I'd also love to hear what you have to say. Share your ideas with me, whether it's about a potential plot line, or an idea for a competition. 
And of course, all team members will receive ARCs of my current and future books for review.
Unfortunately members who are inactive, or abuse their privileges  will be removed promptly from the group.
I hope too see you all there!

Release day: Sophie Masson's "Trinity" - book 1 in the Koldun Code

Blurb:
  I am in a world deeply strange and strangely deep, a world as different from my old life as it’s possible to be, and it feels completely natural.

An unexpected encounter with a handsome stranger in a Russian wood changes the life of 22-year-old traveler Helen Clement forever, catapulting her into a high-stakes world of passion, danger, and mystery. Tested in ways she could never have imagined, she must keep her own integrity in a world where dark forces threaten and ruthlessness and betrayal haunt every day.
Set against a rising tide of magic and the paranormal in a modern Russia where the terrifying past continually leaks into the turbulent present, Trinity is a unique and gripping blend of conspiracy thriller, erotically charged romance and urban fantasy, laced with a murderous dose of company politics. With its roots deep in the fertile soil of Russian myth, legend, and history, it is also a fascinating glimpse into an extraordinary, distinctive country and amazingly rich culture.

Excerpt from "Winter Wolf"   About the author


I've being reading books for as long as I can remember but I never thought about writing until I read Nalini Singh - Slave to sensation which is the first book in her psy-changling series.
At first I just wrote fan fiction until one morning I woke up with a story of my own. Lincoln and Lexia were born!  I spent 6 solid months writing and re-writing and now their story is out in the world and I am currently working on the final book Holocaust due 2015.
After the birth of my 3rd child I wrote Winter Wolf a YA Paranormal Novel which is due for Release in November.
I have lived in England, New Zealand and currently live in QLD Australia but to me England will always be home.

I've been a dish washer, Admin assistant, horse groom and now spend my days looking after my 3 children and writing as often as I can.

Venturing into the unknown...I'm talking book clubs

So, recently (I'm talking earlier today), I started up a book club in Goodreads. This is virgin territory to mean, but what I'm hoping to get out of it is lots of new friends, hopefully some new fans and (fingers crossed) bags of good reviews for the Dark Series.

 "Dark Deceit" was released by Momentum last month, and the second book in the series, "Dark Desire" is being released on the 25th of this month. Very exciting times! To make it even better, "Dark Deceit" is only $1 at the moment on loads of different platforms.

BUT, what I'd like to do is have people join my book club, and I'll give the first 5 members a copy of Dark Deceit (now) and possibly (if okay with my publisher) a copy of "Dark Desire" when it's released later this month.

Do you want in on this action? It's easy to join. Just click on the widget below and it will take you right there! What I'm hoping is to have lots of discussions going on about the books, but also about other books in the genre. I might even try out getting my readers to plot some chapters for me, just for fun!

Coming soon: "Trinity" by Sophie Masson

Here's a teaser from Sophie Masson's upcoming novel, "Trinity". It's due for release Thursday 13th November.

Blurb:

I am in a world deeply strange and strangely deep, a world as different from my old life as it’s possible to be, and it feels completely natural.

An unexpected encounter with a handsome stranger in a Russian wood changes the life of 22-year-old traveler Helen Clement forever, catapulting her into a high-stakes world of passion, danger, and mystery. Tested in ways she could never have imagined, she must keep her own integrity in a world where dark forces threaten and ruthlessness and betrayal haunt every day.
Set against a rising tide of magic and the paranormal in a modern Russia where the terrifying past continually leaks into the turbulent present, Trinity is a unique and gripping blend of conspiracy thriller, erotically charged romance and elements of the supernatural, laced with a murderous dose of company politics. With its roots deep in the fertile soil of Russian myth, legend, and history, it is also a fascinating glimpse into an extraordinary, distinctive country and amazingly rich culture.
