TRINITY STONES (Adapted for Young Adults) is now available exclusively on Amazon

I'm so thrilled to share with you the launch of TRINITY STONES YA. Hit by inspiration and a desire for my teenage nieces to read my work, I decided to re-edit the adult version of my book for readers 13+ and adults who desire a cleaner read without the minefield of adult language and explicit love scenes.

Although it says 'young adult,' that's a 'content' statement, not an indication of the protagonist's age. My characters are still authentic to the ages they were in the original. They're in their 20s on the edge of new adult. Bonus material has been added at the end, as well as a special offer for only this segment of readers. This book is available exclusively as an eBook, but once 50 review and 500 copies are sold it will be sent to print for broader distribution.

The lovely and gracious Jorie of the Jorie Loves A Story blog has featured the story-behind-the-story and an in-depth interview. She hosted me on my blog tour for the adult version when it launched in April. She connected with the essence of what I wrote on such an elemental level that it moved me. This book holds elements of religion interwoven into fantasy, sci-fi, and romance while still maintaining a non-sectarian view... and she saw and appreciated each of those threads. Looking for a cleaner read herself, I filed that away. So, when I decided to do this (since I retained derivative rights to my work), she was the first person who I contacted.

I thank Jorie from the bottom of my heart for hosting me for my launch of the YA version by creating such an insightful and thorough post on her blog. She truly understands the catch phrase: "Journey forth in peace and love."

The WANDERER'S CHILDREN launches today!

It's LAUNCH DAY! IndieReader gives The WANDERER'S CHILDREN 4.5 stars. The second book in the adult Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance series (could be out of sequence if desired). $2.99 on Amazon, but $1.49 with sale coupon for TODAY only at Smashwords (all digital formats) using coupon code = RN38C. Can be purchased or given as a gift...

Blurb: Cara’s second chance encounter with rock star Brett King is no coincidence. One of the Wanderer’s Children, he and the blood of his secret siblings are the key to gathering the rest of the Twelve…if betrayal and Lucifer don’t rip them apart first.

Excerpt from IndieReader Review:
"Combining a marvelous talent for emotional resonance with a naturally light, playful attitude towards sex and romance, L.G. O'Connor creates a rich, complex world that realistically explores joy, pain, fame, child abuse, and the insanely complex and frightening realities of pre-established hierarchies. Although set in a supernatural milieu, the emotions and situations these characters find themselves in ring with a clarity that is unforgettable. THE WANDERER'S CHILDREN is a satisfying and nuanced read for fans of the series and newbies alike." ~IndieReader

Interview with USA Today Bestselling Author, Terri Brisbin

I’m so thrilled to have historical romance author, Terri Brisbin, on my blog today as my NOVEMBER “Author Spotlight.” I had the great pleasure of meeting Terri at a book signing event in September at the Holmdel Barnes & Noble. We sat together and chatted all afternoon. Then I had the pleasure of seeing Terri again at the New Jersey Romance Writers “Put Your Heart in a Book” Conference in October. She was one of the first people I ran into at the Friday afternoon Published Author’s Retreat. The first topic of discussion: the OUTLANDER Wedding episode! One thing’s for sure, we are unified in our obsession over OUTLANDER and Sam Heughan *deep sigh*.

INTRODUCING TASHA COTTER, POET AND NEW ADULT FICTION AUTHOR

Tasha and I met maybe a year ago when she filled out a contact form on my website, and then we connected on Twitter. We’re members of www.shewrites.com and have both worked with She Writes Press in some capacity. Tasha has been a great supporter and a positive voice in my Twitter community. When I was asked to be a guest on Kristen Harnisch’s blog and knew I had to choose someone for the next week, Tasha came immediately to mind.
