Lauren’s
Memorable Moment:
I struggled with which moment to share from my incredible
writing journey. Should it be when I pitched to editor Debby Gilbert? Stealing
from The Bachelor, I felt we just had
a connection. When she asked me for the full manuscript, I practically floated
home from that conference. She offered me a contract two weeks later, and thus
began my writing career.
Instead, I think that receiving my first cover made me truly
feel I had arrived as a writer. I was given several mock-ups to look over. I
worked with Covers by Ramona, and Ramona really understood my characters.
Seeing Madeleine and Garrett brought to life in full color, knowing this lovely
couple would grace the cover of Music For
My Soul, gave me a thrill that stands out in my mind as a truly magical moment!
Blurb:
Callie Chennault vaulted to fame on the nighttime soap Sumner Falls, but after a decade of
playing the same role, she is ready for a new acting challenge. When Callie is attacked
by a stalker on the streets of New York, she takes a leave of absence from the
show and returns to her roots in Aurora, Louisiana, to heal both physically and
emotionally and determine her next career move.
Former professional baseball pitcher Nick La Chappelle has
also come to Aurora to lick his own wounds after a messy divorce. A Cy Young
winner and one-time ESPN broadcaster, Nick longs for the quiet of a small town
in order to write murder mysteries under a pen name.
Sparks fly when Callie believes Nick is taking advantage of
her great-aunt’s hospitality, but they resolve their differences—and surprise
themselves by falling in love. Their bond is tested when both Nick and Callie
become the focus of a serial killer nicknamed Lipstick Larry. Can they outwit a
murderer bent on seeing them dead and survive to build a lasting relationship?
