L.L. Akers is originally from the Midwest where she grew up climbing trees, haystacks, and haylofts--escaping into other worlds with a good book.

She now lives in the South, the silly wife of a serious man, and mother of two very gifted and fetching offspring, a chubby beagle that looks astonishingly like a mini-cow, a deranged terrier as well as a herd of tiny but boastful lizards, and dozens of obnoxiously loud serenading frogs.

After a long career in human resources, she now pursues life as a writer. She loves dragonflies, reading and writing. She also enjoys 4-wheelin', marksmanship shooting, canning fruits and veggies, and studying potential survival situations. Eyes wide open...

A reader of The SHTF Series reached out to tell me she loved book one, and after chatting awhile, I discovered she and her hubs have a prepping and survival training series. I’ve looked through their website, and when I’m not so scattered, smothered and covered, I can’t wait to watch some videos.

The site is: http://panteao.com/ (or click on the picture), to see videos for Survival Training, Handgu

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“Fiction is the truth inside the lie.”
Stephen King

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
Stephen King

“Bound by Blood, Marked by the Dragonfly.”

Lisa Akers Finally published the sequel to Let Me Go! It's "Captured Again." I love the cover, but not sure if it looks like part of a series. Should I have the artist darken the background to match? Or is the typeface and the similarity of the models enough to show it's a series?

This book is much lighter (not dark at all), so the lighter background does convey that... hmmm. Any comments/suggestions appreciated!
