Has It Really Been That Long?
Dang. Yeah, it has been a while, huh? Anyone still around to read this? Well, if you are, buckle in! Because I'm back, and I'm ready to talk about my books, my characters, and my writing processes with them.
If you've read my books, thank you! I so appreciate that. And if you enjoyed them, even better! I always pray my books find the right readers. I'd love to hear from you if you enjoyed them.
So. If you have any questions about my books, characters, or writing process, feel free to ask. I LOVE talking about all of that. In case you didn't know, writers can be introverted, but talking about writing? So. Fun!
Anyway. I hope to post here every day, even if it's just to drop what I'm working on. Today? Got my planner all set for a WIP I'm working on.
Talk later, peeps!

Kindle Vella
I made the decision this summer to move all my future books to Kindle Vella. This includes my new romantic suspense series, Riven City, and the rest of the Traitors War series.
GOT A BAD CASE - book one in the Riven City series
I NEED A HERO - book two in the Riven City series
These are both currently live on Vella.
DROP THEM BONES - the first holiday novella in the Riven City series is coming in October.
DECEIT - second in the Traitors War series, coming in October.

Weekending
Hey peeps, it's Friday! Or Fri-yay as some people call it. I usually don't; I don't think I'm trendy enough for that, lol. What are you plans? We'll be busier than usual, but in a good way.
Whatcha reading these days? I just finished The Meadow, by Shana Dow, and if you're looking for clean portal fiction this is the series for you. She's such an amazing writer!
I'm onto A Chance to Fly by Ali Stroker, and so far, it's terrific. There are so many good juvenile fiction books releasing this spring, and this is certainly one of them.
Have a good one, and if you decide to travel through Pentallia this weekend, take a pistol or sword with you - or, if you can find one, ask a Shadowliege to go with you :-) You'll only have to watch your back if they have a kill order for you!

Destiny Has Arrived!
Sounds kinda ominous, right? Nah. It's just the fate of a continent and a whole lot of kingdoms at stake, that's all. Who's going to save them? A princess? An assassin? Or maybe a bounty hunter?
Guess you'll have to pick up a copy of Destiny to start the journey. Journey? Yup, this series will be longer than my Flying Ponies trilogy.
Destiny, and the Ponies, are available on Amazon in both Kindle and trade paperback.

The War Is Coming
Hey everyone, it's a new week - what are your plans? Doing anything fun for spring break?
We are just over two weeks away from the release of Destiny, book one in The Traitors War series. I'll be posting more about it on my Instagram (@l_m_ransom), and adding a post about it to my website: lmransom.com.
I'm super excited to share this book and story with all of you - I've been working, on and off, on this since 2005. It's going to be quite the ride with Lisette, Declan and Bren in book one!
If you have any questions about Destiny, ask away!

Christmas Time
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you've all had a blessed day, no matter how differently it may have looked from past years.
I do think that this past year, despite the horrible things that have gone down, has taught us that slowing down, and not being able to race from one thing to another, is a good thing. Especially, maybe, during the holiday season.
May the rest of your 2020 be quiet and peaceful.
