Laura's NEW historical fiction novel, The Lark, will be released September 23, 2026. The ebook is available for preorder on Amazon NOW, and you can win a free ebook during my Goodreads Giveaway, Sept 8-20, 2026. Readers' Favorite 5 star review said: "Laura C. Rader’s The Lark follows Paul as his musical ambitions draw him deeper into America’s artistic world, and Rader handles the period with a beautiful eye for detail. The culture surrounding professional musicians gives Paul’s ambitions exactly the setting where they belong. Rader develops him into a fully fleshed-out musician whose desire to establish himself among celebrated artists is palpable in a world where one introduction could determine his future...Very highly recommended."

On my quieter days, I could live in a snug hobbit hole and eat good food, and when I felt adventurous, I could consort with dwarves and elves and a wizard of two. Not to mention the Ents. I'm not sure I could summon Bilbo's courage to face Smaug or Gollum, but who knows?(less)

Cherie Kephart
“You know you're having a bad week when you call 911, the paramedics come to your house, and one of them notices you've rearranged your furniture.”
Cherie Kephart, A Few Minor Adjustments: A Memoir of Healing

Matt Haig
“She imagined, now, what it would be like to accept herself completely. Every mistake she had ever made. Every mark on her body. Every dream she hadn’t reached or pain she had felt. Every lust or longing she had suppressed. She imagined accepting it all. The way she accepted nature. The way she accepted a glacier or a puffin or the breach of a whale. She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature. Just another sentient animal, trying their best. And in doing so, she imagined what it was like to be free.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Leigh Bardugo
“The Darkling slumped back in his chair. “Fine,” he said with a weary shrug. “Make me your villain.”
