Lauren Fischer's Blog

It was so much fun the first time that I'm squeezing in one more giveaway before Orphanland's 11/12/25 pub date. Giveaway begins on Oct 10!

I'm still pinching myself that I will be one of roughly 140 authors at the Louisville Book Festival on Oct 11, partly because it's my first festival as an author but also, this festival is special because it is mission driven.

"This year will continue to give us the opportunity to celebrate the city’s culture and resiliency, while striving towards the goal that all children have access to books in their home. Highway 65 is the divide between east and west Louisville. West of 65, there are no book stores which greatly reduces access to books for our children and youth, creating a book desert. Our goal for the Louisville Book Festival is to ensure every child that attends the Book Festival on Children’s Day leaves with at least one free age appropriate book."

I am honored to be participating. If you live in or near Louisville, come check it out—it's free!

I finally figured out how to start this here blog on goodreads ... hooray! ... so I wanted to make my first post a hearty THANK YOU to everyone who entered my giveaway! There were over 3000 entries! I'm thrilled that Orphanland has landed on so many want-to-read shelves.
My publication day, November 12, is approaching fast. If you'd like another chance to win a copy before pub day, head on over to my website and sign up for my newsletter. You will automatically be entered in my monthly drawing. Two more drawings left before pub day! (I send very short newsletters once/month.)
Happy reading to all!
