Newsletter Oct 2004

Hello! You're probably receiving this newsletter because at one time or another, you visited my website and made contact with me, either through a contest entry or e-mail. I don't send newsletters very often, but so much has been happening in my writing world, I just wanted to get you up to date! Of course, all the news is available on my website, so you can always go there to get the scoop: www.authorlaurielarsen.com .

First of all, my new book, Momentary Lapse, received a 4 1/2 rose rating from A Romance Review! That's the next to best rating it could get -- the highest is 5 roses! The reviewer said some great things, such as, "I was expecting a quick read when I picked up this book. However, I wasn’t holding out hope for a best-seller. I was very surprised when I found it almost difficult to put the book down to do necessary things. As a mother myself, it was so easy to relate to what Lydia was going through. I often found myself thinking, how many choices do I make in a day that could possibly be a momentary lapse in judgment. I’ll be sure to keep my eyes open for Larsen’s previous book Whispers Of The Heart."

YIPPEE! I'm thrilled with the review! If you haven't gotten your copy yet to see what all the fuss is about, be sure and get one! :) Details on my website. And if you want to read the full review, here it is: http://www.aromancereview.com/reviews/index.php?app_state=show_event&bookid=4587

Second, a really cool interview with me appeared on Coffee Time Romance. I was very pleased with how it turned out. Check it out here: http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/Laurielarson.html . It's fun to do online interviews! In fact, I have another one coming out soon with Romance Junkies. I won't e-mail you again when it is released, but be sure to visit my website if you want to read it. I'll announce when it's available.

And last, a request from me to you. If you've read Momentary Lapse, how about visiting one of the many online bookstores (Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com are the biggest ones) and entering your own review? I'd love to see what you thought of it, and it's a chance for you to get your thoughts out into cyberspace! :) It was fun to see what readers had to say about my first book, Whispers of the Heart, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of my new book.

Have a terrific autumn, a bountiful Thanksgiving and a truly blessed Christmas! And as always, thanks for sharing my journey into this incredible world of a published author. It sure is a fun ride...
