The Big News This Week:

• New Journal Entry

• Summer Big Book Giveaway Bonanza!  Throughout the summer (my FAVORITE time of year to read) I'll be giving away FOUR best-selling books, instead of one, every few weeks.  My second round of winners are listed below.  Take a look at the next four on my TBR pile!

A message from Laurie:

Welcome!  Thank you for visiting my little corner of the web, and I hope you'll visit back often.  If you like to read, if you love books with happy endings, I have a lot to offer you -- not only my own books, but those of other authors that I give away regularly in my contest. 

And if you like to write, if you have that dream to write books and maybe see your name on a book cover someday, you can find a home here too.  Read about my adventures on the road to publication, and maybe it will inspire you to forge your own path!

So come along for this fun and crazy ride with me -- my journey in the world of writing novels about love, families and relationships -- everyday situations, with just a twist of worst-case scenario.

And no matter what you do -- live your dreams!

Laurie
