2016 release schedule update!

Hey guys, i have a bit of important news for you all. I don't know if this is bad or good for you but i think it's for the better.
I've decided to push the release of all next year's books back. So 2016's books will now come out a bit later than what i previously planned.
The new dates are probably the final ones, but i'm warning you now that they could change!

-The Chronicles of Light and Dark - (previously due for release Jan 31 2016) will now release…
Feb 28 2016.
- The Aqua Promise (previously March 31) now April 30.
-Thirst (previously may 31) is now going to be released in late 2016 due to me going on holiday to Europe and something else i have planned for the entire Dragon Heart series.
(Please note the pre-order date i have up on smashwords, ibooks, kobo etc is NOT the final release date.)

I'm sorry in advance if i've upset you in any way or inconvenienced you. I've had to make a lot of personal choices in recent times that as i said, will hopefully be for the better.
Thanks for the support.

Love Laura xx

Lemonade for You by Ashley McConnell - Cover Reveal

Synopsis:After seeing a toy she desperately wants, Angela begs her father to get 
it for her. When her father tells her that she must find a way to earn 
the money to buy it herself, Angela comes up with a plan: she and her 
daddy will put together a lemonade stand for all the thirsty people on 
the hot summer day in her neighborhood. However, things don't end the 
way she thought they would—with her having a brand new toy.

Lemonade for You is a story about love, sickness, charity, being a 
child, and caring about others. It's sweet, charming, and educational.

I'll try and find out more info about a release date for this book, but i was told that is a book for charity and part of the proceeds from the book go to a charity that helps children who are suffering with cancer.

Sweet Sixteen - The Aqua Lie release day thoughts

I can't believe the time has come around so quick!
I can't believe it's the day where i publish my sixteenth title!

SIXTEEN!!!

The inspiration for the Aqua Saga came to me through a dream. I nornally have vivid dreams, but this one was particularly crazy vivid!

At first the whole idea seemed crazy, and at the very first instant it was! It didn't even make sense to me! So if it didn't make sense to the author, it probbaly wouldn't make sense to the reader. So i changed  my alternatate roller rink world (Told you, cray cray!) to an underwater dystopian landscape. The dream was underwater as well, but i've always been in love with the dystopian genre and this seemed to fit.

Then there was the shark idea.

Another crazy weird idea that would never work, right? Wrong. I played with idea and asked my beta reader and a few other authors what they thought of humans morphing into sharks… they didn't hate it!

I've also always been obsessed with superhero stories and comic book characters, The Avengers, The Flash and Superman being some of my favourites and i thought, what if these humans in my story had been genetically modified as infants or experimented on by their evil general?

This was how the Aqua Saga was born.


I hope you like my cray cray story ;) I'm personally obsessed with Pym and Rush.

Book 2 in the Aqua Saga, The Aqua Lie is out now at all online retailers.

Teaser time! + news - The Aqua Lie Teaser plus What's New from L.L. Hunter

Who wants an Aqua Lie teaser? Enjoy  wink emoticon
I almost cried. “Rush?” I wretched the door open and saw his panting figure in the corridor outside. He must have run after me.
“You can’t be here. If anyone sees you…” He leapt inside and shut the door after him. Then his lips were on mine and I couldn’t breathe. I tried pushing him off because if I kissed him, there was a chance he could die, and I couldn’t have that. I had to save him. But his lips didn’t stop their assault on mine, and I admit I didn’t mind. I kissed him back. Oh, what the hell. If either of us was going to die, we might as well have what we want most before it ended.

I am almost twenty eight years old and I feel like I haven’t done anything worthwhile. I always hated school. I made sure to get a high school diploma but college wasn’t in the cards for me. I went to a technical school and became a roofer a year later. I have been working at Southern Roofing for eight years now. I have made good money but I feel like my life is empty. My brother, Jake, and I don’t get along and it got worse after my parents passed away and he went off to college. My best friend, Shane, left home and went to Louisiana State University. He comes home to visit but it isn’t the same. Our little circle of friends seemed to have disappeared when everyone went to college and I stayed behind in the town we all grew up in. We all went our separate ways except for Jake and Belle. They both attended New York University and were both studying radiology. Don’t get me wrong. I am proud of all my friends and I want to see them succeed. Unfortunately, I can’t help but feel left behind. I don’t have a girlfriend and I have always dreamed of having a family of my own. The one girl I have always wanted is way out of my league and my best friend’s sister. Shane would kill me if I went after Kayla, I think. Honestly, I’m pretty sure Kayla would laugh in my face if I ever asked her out. Kayla is absolutely gorgeous. She has long light brown hair and the most amazing green eyes. She has an hourglass figure that will drop a man to his knees. Besides her killer looks, the enormous brain on that woman is so hot. I would give anything to have more than a friendship with her but I am afraid of rejection and that our friendship will go to hell. I am also pretty sure she has never looked at me that way anyway.

But what if she’s finally given hope? A reason to live? Can Amalie finally accept the hand offering so much for so little in return? Can she love again when she has nothing left to give?
