 My baby is FIVE years old! In 2012, Julia first shared her love story in Butterfly Weeds. And I'll never forget the kind words and real-life stories YOU shared with me on how Butterfly Weeds touched your lives in that first year and each year after. I'm still so honored, and I will be forever grateful! Thank you for accepting Will Stephens and Julia Lang into your hearts five years ago. AND thank you for continuing to keep their story alive through your sweet words and memories! AND TO CELEBRATE, Julia and Will's love story has a new look!!! Check out the new cover on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes very soon! ♥Laura Back cover summary: Julia Lang expected a nice night away from the office—free of thoughts about the case, her failed engagement, her past. But she should have known better. Her past haunted her every chance it got these days, and tonight it came in the form of lyrics she never expected to hear again—not after a decade, not in the arms of another man and definitely not in the form of a confession. Now, Julia must discover for herself if the song—and more importantly, the man behind it—is enough to leave her new life for her small-town, Missouri roots and a second chance at love.  "One of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read."
-Jelena's Book Blog "Butterfly Weeds is definitely one of my favorite books of 2012; I couldn't put this one down. I was so spellbound by the story of Julia and Will. I will forever love and be captivated by Will Stephens; I only wish I knew someone like him in real life." -Romantic Reading Escapes "Beautifully written and sure to leave a lasting footprint on your heart." -Angela McLaurin, The Indie Bookshelf  In case you haven't heard, The Life We Almost Had will be here in a little more than two months! BUT you can pre-order the e-book now on Amazon and Barnes&Noble and have it delivered directly to your reading device Sept. 19! I'm really excited about this one, and there are lot of reasons for that, but here are three! One: This story shows glimpses into the past, so you not only get to see snapshots of just how these two fell in love, but you also get to grow up with these characters. They're happy. They're sad. They're embarrassed of their parents. They're embarrassed of themselves. They make the right decisions. They make the wrong decisions. But through it all, they love. I look into his brown eyes, and I run my fingers through his long hair. He doesn’t fit in here; he never has. He doesn’t know anything about farming or small-town norms. He doesn’t know you don’t wear black everywhere you go. ...I think I love that about him best. “What the hell are you doing here?” Daddy says. His voice is stern and kind of scary. “Um, I was just returning the hammer, sir,” Berlin says, eyeing the hammer on the hall desk. Daddy glances at the desk in the hall. “Then how come the hammer is there, and you’re upstairs? Two: These characters grow up in a little ghost town that has a post office and a corner store and a restaurant called Victor's...and that's about it. But they make the most of it, and I especially love their little town because it reminds me of a place that's near and dear to my own heart. And life was quiet...until the day that he showed up. ...From that day and for a while after that, you couldn’t hear the sound of the water dripping in the kitchen sink or the branches scraping across the tin roof above my room anymore. Those sounds were all drowned out by the crack of Clearly Canadian caps hitting the concrete and his laugh and the high-pitched hum of an engine, as his dirt bike made little circles in the bottom land. Three: Lastly, I can't really promise you anything with this story. But I can tell you that where there is heartbreak, there's also a second chance. Now, what these two choose to do with that second chance AND just how fair life chooses to be with them, you'll have to see. But through it all, their journey is all their own, and it's one I'm hoping you'll be glad you took. I cried for me. I cried for the little girl and the little boy who loved with everything they had in a little town that nobody cared about but them. I cried because I felt as if no one else would cry for them. ♥Laura    Recently, I was asked a question by Anna on Goodreads. She wanted to know who, of all my characters, is my favorite and why. And Anna already knew--she already knew that was like asking me to choose my favorite child! Despite that, however, I love the question, and I'm going to do my best at answering it! So, Anna, here it goes: Butterfly Weeds and My Butterfly  Will~He's my first. (And as my mother would attest to, that holds some weight. ...It must, right?! ). Will's a firefighter, who has a beautiful voice. Of course, I love that about him! And he knows what he wants, and he possesses this UNWAVERING love. But he's not perfect, and I love that about him, too. Julia~She's independent and so strong-willed, but she also knows when to follow her heart. And I like her courage. Jeff~Will's best friend. I think we all know or knew a "Jeff" at some time. I like him because he's awkward and because he's a great friend. For All You Have Left
By Way of Accident
When Cicadas Cry
A Bird on a Windowsill
 Berlin~He's a small-town boy, who rides a motorcycle, fixes up an old Chevelle and isn't afraid to live. But ... he isn't afraid to love either. AND Berlin is my husband's favorite character! Iva~She follows her passion and reminds me what it's like to be thirteen. Iva's mom~I think she always rooted for Iva and Berlin, even if she never came out and said it. So, who's my favorite?! I HAVE NO IDEA! Maybe you're a better judge! Find all my books here!
