Hi Jessica.

I recently went through something personally that was very traumatic and severe. I am undecided on when or if I'm going to release any sequels at this point. If I do, I will be sure to let everyone know. However, with that being said, I did start writing book two in The Sociopath Diaries series and if I do release any sequels, that one will be the first.

New Novel and Sequels

Good Afternoon!

I know it's been some time since you guys have heard from me and for that I am truly sorry.

I have had a really bad last couple of years and when I get knocked down it takes me forever to get back on my feet.

So many of you ask me if I'm going to complete any of the sequels for my novels and because of everything I've gone through, I'm only going to be able to complete one and that' Read more of this blog post »

“He mouths something. Six words. Six words that seem too impossible to be true. Six words that bleed hope into my soul. Six words. “You’re not crazy. I love you.”

“Hello, dinner. It’s me, I’m starving. And I know where you live.”
Lauren Hammond, Famished

“It had been along time since I breached the surface of the world above. My parents wouldn’t allow it. So as far as I knew, the survivors that remained were savages. I’d seen a few things before our colony was built and most of the inhabitants left ran wildly through the bare, desert terrain, filth covering them from head to toe, bones protruding their leathery skin, and foam dripping from their mouths in search of one thing…

Nourishment.”
Lauren Hammond

“A good book will pull you in from the beginning and take you on a journey you'll never forget.”

Hiya Lacey!

I know it's taking a while for both to come out, but both books have been picked up by a publisher so they control the release dates. I had originally posted them, but to estimate I think both will be out some time in the next two months. I am working on edits for Infect Me, so that will be the first one that is released. :) Sorry for the wait.

Lauren Hammond Hi Lacey!

I can't give any definite dates as of yet, but I can say sometime in the next three months, both will be released :)

I'm gonna say for Infect Me sometime in April and Yelling Out Loud(Soc. Diaries 2) Either late April or early May.


message 6: by Lace

Lace Tully When is the sequel for "A whisper to a scream" coming out??? I'm dying over here!! Also the release for "Infect me"? When??
ME - Patience = cannot handle anticipation xD
