My latest book of poetry will be here in just 12 days! Echo releases on Jan. 28, and you can pre-order your copy today! 

Echo's summary: 

From the best-selling author of small-town romance novels and poetry, including Old Flame and Pieces of You, comes a new collection of reflective prose.

Thoughtfully written, Echo explores the powerful and musing themes of love, life, loss and family ties from an intimate vantage point.

This is real. It’s life. At times, it’s light. At others, it’s heavy. But we keep going because we must—because, frankly, it’s all we can do, sometimes.

But maybe, just maybe, if we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll discover a quieter reason for trudging onward. Deep in our souls, I think we keep going, simply, because we also just really love the light, damn it.

So, whatever heavy you’re going through, keep going. The light is coming. It tends to echo back at the oddest times.

A perfect gift for:
     -Poetry lovers of all ages
     -Gift-givers in search of unique gifts
     -Birthday and graduation
     -Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
     -Valentine’s Day and Christmas

Happy spring!

“HEART-BREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.” -Jenn and Books

Most people call her Delilah. But he called her Daisy. He was seventeen and a guest in her family’s home the summer she turned fifteen. They weren’t supposed to fall in love. But Everton knew two things early on. One: He knew that she was a rule he was most likely going to break. And two: He knew that if anyone discovered their secret, he would be forced to leave. That day came in early August. And it came without warning—or a goodbye. Now, she’s twenty-one. He’s twenty-three. And she’s standing right in front of him—close enough to touch. But he can’t. It’s been six, long years, but one thing remains: she’s still forbidden. And this time, he can’t cross the line.

“PERFECTION.” -Southern Belle Book Blog

They say in every guy’s life there’s a girl he’ll never forget and a summer where it all began. Well, for me, 1999 is that summer, and Brooke Sommerfield is that girl. But that was nearly nine years ago. And what they don’t tell ya is that you’ll blink, and both the summer and the girl will be gone. ?

But New Milford, the setting of Butterfly Weeds, was inspired by the town in Missouri pictured below. It's the same small town where I spent my adolescence.

If you haven't had a chance to read Butterfly Weeds or its sequel, My Butterfly, you can find them on Amazon! Happy reading! ♥ Laura

He was quiet; a farmer; a World War II veteran; and he almost exclusively wore overalls and an old, leather cap. And today, all the grandpas that I write into my novels and poems have a likeness to him. This poem, found in Love Story, is no exception. You can find Love Story on Amazon.
