About VeiledReturning home cleared of all charges Willow is welcomed by press, politicians and old high school friend and bullies alike. During her opening speak a vision strikes, hard and fast. She falters, her fingers find a pen and she start scribbling and sketching like a mad thing. The humiliation is bad enough to send her running, but what she sketched is about to change the life she'd fought so hard for and the freedom from the serial killer that still haunts her - with one sketch it all disappears. The sketch is the same as the one that led her on the path to The Devils Breath Killer, with one faint detail that differs. Within the cage, made of ribs, tied to the human heart it houses a key, a key she recognizes from somewhere but cannot recall. She tries to tell everyone the Cult has followed to her home county, and the killing will start soon, but no one will listen except the same FBI agents and her sister who had run from the law the last time. BUT this time they are in a third world country with none of the resources they need at their disposal to prove their case.The clues keep coming, and pieces of human bone gets sent to her, with taunting clues and keys to find and stop the killer - with each bone, another victim has been claimed. And should the bone puzzle be complete - everyone she loves including her will die.About Notorious Minds

Reign of Secrets - New Release!

I'm so excited that my heart project, the first book in THE fantasy series i've been dreaming about is finally out in the world.

Ever since i was a teen, I dreamed of one day writing and creating an amazing fantasy world just like the books I loved and took solace in. I was a lonely kid and teen. I sought company with books and made friends with fictional characters because real life people were mean, and i just didn't click with them or the world around me. I didn't know it then, but that's a key characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorder, or Aspergers. (I believe aspies live on a different level than normal ASD, but anyway). Oh, if you didn't know this, i do try and be open about mental health and my disability and struggles other than being a normal adult human. Which is hard enough, right?

Grace came to me many years ago, and at first, my story was purely victorian and historical. It wasn't really a fantasy book. But as the years went on and i wrote some books, I began going back to this story, that was originally titled 'Hidden Grace.'
As i learned more about marketing and the publishing world over the years, i knew that original title didn't fit the grand picture i had in my head.
And fast forward, i finally came up with 'Reign of Secrets', and then the sequels, 'Crown of Lies' and 'Queen of Midnight'.

Anyway, I hope you like the first instalment of my new heart project, my passion project. Feel free to share on social media, and / or leave me a review on amazon or your store of purchase.

You can get your copy on Amazon now. Apple, Nook and Kobo and the rest of the stores will be live on the 7th July.

Buy your copy of Reign of Secrets!



Thanks for your support, happy reading!

Laura xx

P.S. Oh, if you want to celebrate the release of Reign of Secrets with me, you are invited to The Midnight Ball : The official launch party for Reign of Secrets! It's free and online. You can party in your PJs, but i hope you will dress up. Because I definitely am!

He leaned in and let the tip of his horn rake into my hair. I shouldn’t have liked it. I should’ve turned away from him. But his hand was warm and rough on my side, and for whatever reason – whether it was the pledge or not – Aries wanted to touch me. And I needed to feel something other than fear. I liked the feel of his hand on my hip as it slid down and pulled me closer. Closer. Closer. Until my chest bumped against his and he inhaled loudly. A strangled sound escaped his parted lips.I reached up and brushed my fingertips over his horn and watched him shudder. His eyes, when they weren’t focused on my lips, tracked my every movement. He closed them as I let my fingertips graze his horn again, drifting over every obsidian bump and ridge. His hand tightened against my side, the tips of his claws digging in ever so slightly. His free hand cupped my jaw as a rumble tore from his chest. “You tempt me,” he said. There was tension, accusation, and something more profound in his voice. The dark slashes that were his eyebrows furrowed as I lowered my hand, taking it away from his horn and brushing it down his chest, over his black tunic. His breath hitched as I slid it back up to toy with the hair at the nape of his neck. I didn’t know what came over me. Maybe it was the fact that he was so close, or the gravity of the situation in which we’d found ourselves. Or the brazen but reverent way he held his hand against my skin, against the mark. Maybe it was the look in his eyes that told me he wanted me to touch him back. Whatever it was, something had shifted between me and Aries… something dangerous. Because if I was going to survive him, I couldn’t allow myself to fall for him.

  One malicious prince. Two rival kingdoms. And an innocent girl caught in the crossfire. Raised in a war-ravaged continent, temptation comes to Calla Caldwell in the form of a charming and mysterious stranger. Giving in to his intimate seduction, her world is forever changed by a single bite. Calla quickly learns the handsome stranger is vampire prince, Trystan Vladu. His bite was an attempt to claim and save her from a plot of vengeance generations in the making. However, the claws of that ancient vendetta are scraping ever closer. Thrust into a new nightmare by the Prince of the corrupt kingdom of Morbeth, Calla is captured, tortured, and starved in the dank confines of his dungeon. While in captivity, she takes part in a séance with a witch of light where she contacts a departed relative—a Princess of Incendia—who bequeaths a gift to Calla that will tip the scales of good and evil . . . if she can learn to harness it. With a dark tapestry of secrets, lies, and murder unraveling around her, Calla must learn to embrace the power roiling through her veins, or be snuffed out by the strangling fist of a malevolent darkness.

  I woke to see a pitch-black sky. No, it wasn’t the sky. It was a cave where the air was stagnant and smelled of brine and rotted seaweed. I was lying on a bed of sand. And there was sand on the entire floor around me. Was this purgatory? “Ah, the Sea Star awakens,” a rich voice spoke off to my side. I rolled my head to the side and watched a young man, perhaps early twenties, step out of the shadows. He was over six feet, but his eyes . . . they were lambent, a mesmerizing icy blue. He was handsome, with a sharp nose and jaw, with full lips that were curled slightly upward. Light silvery-blue hair fell to his shoulders. He was shirtless, muscular abs, pecks, and biceps glistened on sun-kissed skin in the light of a nearby fire. “Who are you?” I questioned, my voice a bit hoarse. He stepped closer, muscular arms crossing over his tanned chest. “I’m Kai. And you are lucky I happened to be passing by. I sensed your energy and by chance, saw your body splash into the sea.” I scanned the area and realized we weren’t in a cave. The walls surrounding us were transparent. They were made of water. It was a dome, maybe twenty feet in height and width. And if I looked hard enough, I could see things—sea creatures—swimming around us. ♦ ♦ ♦RELEASE DAY PARTY: May 15 2-10 PMJOIN THE FUN HERE!♦ ♦ ♦
