Lady’s Destiny a Cover Reveal!



BLURB

When dreams haunt you in the most delicious ways and fate pulls you into destiny’s path, what can be done other than to accept and submit to it.

Can Iria truly get what she’s always dreamed of or will it always just remain a memory? Being a rare creature such as her with exceptional beauty and rarity of existence should be enough.  Though, all she wants is her desire, her destiny… To be with a man—one man.

Are these dreams she’s having real? Could she really take on human form and become a Lady to be with the man she craves?

Dezso discovers a magical creature—a being of incredible light and peace. He is drawn to it again and again, and his feelings grow with every encounter. He carries a dark secret that he wishes never existed. The only thing that truly brings light upon his existence is the beauty that warms his heart but seems to only exist in his head—with dreams and visions of a magical woman, full of heartwarming light.

Will he ever know true love and happiness? Will he ever be able to lighten the weight and share his dark secret with another...?

Darkness is growing stronger, weakening the light and killing off what makes the world a beautiful place to live in. Enter a world of fantasy and dreams, passions and temptations. A world where dragons, unicorns, magic and mermaids really do exist. A world where love WILL conquer all!

To be released January 2014.


Bio:A.R. was born and raised in Bronx, NY and is the oldest daughter of two girls. She holds an Associate’s Degree in Computer Science and Information Technology, which was only briefly used. She’s a mother of two entertaining teen boys (as well as a lovely fawn Chihuahua, whom she considers her furry daughter.) She’s also a wife to a delightfully handsome and amazingly funny man-beast. She loves anything dragon and fantasy related. In her free time she enjoys exercising, writing, listening to music, hiking, cooking, dancing and reading. She also loves a great adventure in and out of a book!
She writes to free her mind of its constant wondering and clutter. She thrives on the fact she can share some of it with readers that have the same passion for a great story.

And The Winners Are. . .

Good Morning All,

So not only have I been crazy busy, I've also apparently forgotten how to schedule posts properly in Blogger (my bad). 

The winners for my Busy, Busy, Busy post are Sandy and Stephanie. Yes I know that there was only supposed to be one winner, but since I only had a few commenters I figured, why not share the love :)

I'll be sending out a follow emails shortly to the winners.

Talk to you soon, 
Laurel

Busy, Busy Busy! Plus A Giveaway #giveaway

Good Morning Lovelies,

The last few weeks have been absolutely insane! As you know my second book, Persuasion Skills was released on July 5th, and things have been crazy ever since. 

Despite the modern myth, authors just don't have books released and the books are instantly seen and gobbled up by readers. Nope! Along with their publishers,  authors have a responsibility to get the word out on their books as well. So for the last few weeks I've been busy, busy, busy! 

If you've been following me on Facebook or checking my Twitter feed you know that I've been all over the interwebs these past few weeks. I've been doing guest posts and interviews at a bunch of different sites in the last 4 weeks I'm I'm straight up exhausted. Between the additional posts, drama at work and my current work in progress I haven't been able to find time to blog.

All this traveling was definitely worth it though. I'll be doing a catch up post shortly about how Persuasion Skills has been received so far by the reading public. Seriously, it is the next post to be pushed to publish.But since I've been so remiss in keeping you all up to date I decided to sponsor a giveaway! My bad behavior is your gain ;)


THE GIVEAWAY

1 $25 Amazon Gift Card

Here's a list of all the cyber places I've been to in the last month. Click on through and learn a little more about Persuasion Skills and a little more about me as well. Leave a comment below with the following:

2.) Which two  posts were your favorites and why

You have all week to finish the list. I'll be announcing winners on Monday, August 12th. So go forth and link up!

Persuasion Skills Cover Reveal!

Hello Lovelies!

I've been bouncing around for the last few days super excited to finally have the official release date and cover art for Persuasion Skills! Final edits went out, cover art mocks tweaked and approved, final release date set!

So drum roll please . . .The release date is this Friday, July 5th! Yeah I know, I ran around like a headless chicken when it was confirmed. Admittedly I had the opportunity to chose a later date, but you know me...no patience! So July 5th was chosen and Ay Caramba! what a whirl wind it's been since.

Anyhoo, doesn't that cover just look scrumptious? As the image alludes there are some...(ahem) interesting scenes in the book involving an alpha hero and a woman who doesn't mind being swayed by his methods of persuasion...

Don't just take my word for it. Go ahead and take a peak at the excerpt here. Oh yeah and also buy he book on Friday (wink-wink).

A virtual tour is currently being arranged and as promised I'll be setting up some prizes and giveaways in honor of the event. I'm planning a virtual release party via Facebook and Twitter for Friday, July 12th so please stay tuned. I have an awesome grand prize in the works so don't miss it!

Also don't forget to sign up for my newsletter. Subscribers will have access to additional opportunities to win prizes including the chance to win a $50 Amazon Gift card (only open to newsletter subscribers)!

Okay I'm off to spread the news far and wide through out the interwebs. 

Talk to you soon, 
Laurel

Loving Day Winner... #giveaway

Good Evening Lovelies, 

Time absolutely got away from me this past week! I had edits due and of course the day job decided that it would be a perfect week for break neck deadlines. The great little mini vacation I had planned for my birthday went out the window and was replaced with very little sleep and an eye twitch. 

Anyhoo! All that being said, in all of the hubbabaloo, I wasn't able to announce the winners from my Loving Day giveaway. 

I had so much fun reading all of your comments and it was super hard choosing just one winner, sooooooo I chose TWO! 

Winners
Belinda G
Shelly 

Keep an eye out ladies, an email will be coming your way soon :)

Talk to you soon,

Hmmm... I Did Something A Little Naughty...

Hello Lovelies, 

I did something a little naughty tonight...No not that naughty :) On a complete and totally procrastination inspired whim, I removed Negotiating Skills from  BnB, Kobo and All Romance! What? o_O! Yeah I know! Since the sales for the book are winding down and I'm already in the midst of several other works in progress I figured it was time to see what the hoopla is all about for Amazon's kdp select. 

Yes I know for some it is the devil and for other's it is a godsend. Frankly I'm not really expecting much. I really just want to make sure as many readers get a chance to read it as possible while I works on getting my next few books out and published.

So I'll be offering my baby up for free starting today through Sunday! Yes I know I should probably do some promo of this right?  So I will. Would it had made more sense if I did it in advance? Most definitely, but since I'm really just trying to procrastinate my night away I'm going to do it any way. 

*Sigh* Yes I know I'm being belligerent but I've been re-writing the same final chapter for weeks now and I'm in serious need of a mini mental break. The twenty minutes of joy I got from searching out the James Van Der Beek gif for this post was priceless along with the knowledge that for the next 90 days I only have to worry about checking one publishing site :) So spread the word. Negotiating Skills is a free read via the Amazon Kindle market through to Sunday! Wish me luck smex monsters!

Talk to you soon,
Laurel

Friday Spotlight Interview Hosted by D.C. McMillen

Good Morning Lovelies,

The awesome D.C. McMillen was nice enough to interview me for her author Friday Spotlight post today. Stop by and check it out. I had a lot of fun with the interview. There is a giveaway involved. I'll be giving away a free digital coy of Negotiating Skills and a $25 Amazon gift certificate to my favorite commenter, so mosey on over and show some love. While you're at it take some time to click through D.C's site (www.dcmcmillen.com), she's a fellow smut peddler after my own heart.
