Swamp with stories

Hey Loves,

OMG, I have ben so busy that I never know what day it is. Between my board activites and kids schooling, not to mention regular life, I just haven't been doing my best to keep up with you guys. I'm sorry.

However, I would like to let you know that I have published 2 books since my last post.

Trouble Maker (which is linked in the Charity Angels organization and therefore connected to many more books.) It will be followed up by The Thistles of Valentines, which doesn't come out till Feb 2017. I loved working with Jazel and Ari, they were fun to meet and a joy to see how their journey went.

In February I published another novella, Unforgiving Chef, and this is also connected to the Charity Angel books. You will love Marisa's story of how she meets and helps a man on Christmas Eve with amnisa.

I did pull An Old Connection and The Love That Healed Them Both, to have re-edited and published with JK Publishing. Not only are they coming out better than before but they will also have sexy new covers! Eeek! I'm so excited!!!

I've done some radio interviews and book parties and I hope with those activities you guys have been able to stop in.

I love your support.

Cheers, HLL

Books off to print, publish and edit

Hey All

I have been crazy busy with Christmas, the kids activities and life. However, I was able to revise Life is a Game of Poker. I was able to get Trouble Maker to edit and now its about to be released. (This was a story Harlequin had told me to submit.) I was also able to get another novella finished and that has been sent to edit. Besides attending book parties, I've been trying to promote my work more. As a new author I'm hoping to keep writing quality and one day make New Yorks Best Selling Author.
As well as writing, I have been painting more, and taking wonderful pictures of life. ;)

Hope all is well, and keep your eyes open for Trouble Maker coming out in January.

Luv H.L. Laffin

My 1st Novella

Hey guys!!!
I am pleased to report my first ever Novella (I prefer to write long stories--however this was a chalenge--loved it) is coming out this July. July 21! And the best part is, its also the first time I've ever joined with other authors to be included in an anthology. :)
The book is called Love is in the Air, and my story is called, He Should Have Been Mine! If you're also fans of mine and have me in your list on Facebook, you might know more of what this is about!
However to give you a small teaser--ahead of my fb fans--but I'll post their soon. ;)
Here is what you are looking forward to...
Blurb


Given a timeline to get married, Bradly conspires with Fiona—a mutual friend—to have the woman he loves finally find time to plan his wedding—but who is the true bride?
Planning what would seem like Maryanne’s own wedding, she must hold back her emotions to watch her two best friends—Bradly; the man she loves & Fiona; her lifelong best friend—Get Married!
It would seem that for Maryanne, keeping her emotions in check had finally reached its boiling point. And after she’s beaten up the groom, taken the engagement ring, & left with a trashed maid of honor’s dress. What will be of thy wedding?

And if your apart of Pinterest, you'll also see the board I used to help with my inspiration.
All I know is I would love to have turned this into a full length novel and who knows...
Don't forget to check out my fellow fabulous authors DeCota A. Jaymes and Samantha Potter

Cheers, HLL

Latest releases

I am so sorry to be late with my posts. I have been overwelmed and very busy. If not with my personal life, then with my board tasks and so forth.
Since I last posted, I have published two books.
Redemption, Family Secrets (Book 2)
AND
One Rebellious Night, Karma Series (Book 1)

Now I've got both series outlined with their follow up books. However, its summer and I am going to be overwlemed with my kids being home.

I am currently doing a final edit, and story flow check before I send: Life's a Game of Poker, off to my editors. :)

I want to work on my thrillers guts as I have the whole story in 2nd draft. But as I mentioned with sumnmer coming I will be insanely busy.

Be sure to check out H.L. Laffin's pages on Twitter, FaceBook and check for her website (which is currently being worked on) www.Hllaffin.rocks

Miss and love you all, HLL

Up coming work and books

Hey my lovely peeps.

First off, let me apologize for being tarty. I am not one for social media, and with that, keeping up on my blogs. I do have a Facebook page and try to keep up with that.
I am currently taking February off from writing. I am going to be catching up on the books I've bought, along with helping some of my friend authors. :)
I do want to let you know, that Christmas Pie, Family Secrets Book1 is going to be in paper back, very soon! ;)
As well as Book 2 of Family Secrets is with my JK editor and hopefully I can get that ready to be printed by March... I am totally excited about that! And I know you will all be.
I do have another novel near completion. I am doing a final read on it, before I send it in to my JK editors. And maybe that can be released near the end of summer. This was so I can work on the thriller I have been casually working on.
Well that's all my dears. It is still winter, though it feels like spring and fall. I love it!

Cheers, and happy reading.
H.L. Laffin

Christmas Season

Currently I am finishing up my Christmas chores. Though I have sold books to people emailing me and coming up to me. I am running a Giveaway for my fans on my author page. I have put "Spook" on hold while I'm busy with the season, though I had a new beta reader read a few chapters. They were so pleased with the story they demanded I finish it. I have sent off book 2 of Family Secrets to my publisher JK Publishing. I am looking forward to its release.
I have been asked to be a guest on a radio show in February. I'm really excited about that.
My son and I put up the outside decorations and it was like a scene out of Griswold's Christmas. Though I never fell off the ladder or had ice glaze through my neighbors windows to cause them to slip. And being that our tree is fake (I prefer real trees) there is no squirrel... lol
I hope the rest of you are having a wonderful December and that your Christmas is merry!

Belonging to a new publishing family.

I have recently been picked up by J. K. Publishing, and they have wonderfully published my 4 novel Christmas Pie, Family Secrets. There is 6 books to this series. All with their own story, however effected by the one main event that happens in book 1.
I love working with a publishing family, where they help you grow. They show you ways to improve and they believe in you and your work!
Christmas Pie, is very dear to me. It is a story of a young girl, Natasha Romeo trying to keep her family together while working at job that is less than glorious. However it pays the bills and feeds her and her family.
When she meets the gorgeous rich man, Damon Cullen on his way out of the dinner, she is indebted to him, due to her clumsiness.
The only problem is, once Damon has gotten what he feels is just pay back, he tosses her to the side like garbage.
Just because she might work at a low end job, doesn't mean Natasha is garbage.
When Damon absolutely needs her, he has to learn to play by her rules. For forgiveness doesn't come so easy from Natasha.
The only thing is... What none of the rest of the families understand is, that Natasha clumsiness has now effected them ALL!
It truly is a fabulous story, that is very relating, and will have you wanting more!
Cheers, H.L. Laffin

The never ending work

With two books published, I am currently in the process of working on the second novel to the "Romeo Series" With the first novel in the running of a Harlequin contest, Christmas Pie will be fighting to make the top 25. Either way once finished, you wont want to miss reading up on the tragedy of the Romeo Series, where they fight to find respect, love, forgiveness and happiness.
