Have you read all eight of my novels?! They all take place in small towns and involve characters that will probably remind you of the people you know or used to know! If you haven't read any OR all of them, I've put together a cheat sheet below to help you choose where to begin! They're in order of how I wrote them, starting in 2012, but you can read them in ANY order. And the best part, they're suitable for all ages! But if you get to the end, and you're still not quite sure where to start, I recommend The Life We Almost Had! Find them all on Amazon! Happy reading! ♥ Laura

Happy Tuesday! When Cicadas Cry is my fifth novel. It’s a standalone, and it’s not part of a series. So, if you haven’t read any of my books yet, you can start with this one! My favorite part about this story is Rem and Ashley’s secret. It’s a secret they share, but neither of them knows it! I hope you get a chance to check out their story. When Cicadas Cry is for ages 12 to 99 and is available on Amazon, iTunes & B&N. Happy Reading!  ♥Laura

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

When Cicadas Cry

Picture
  1. At first, Rem only reads a few chapters of Ashley’s book. If you knew a book was about you, would you read it entirely?
  2. Rem tells Ashley the story about the cicadas and how they know immortality, yet not eternal youth. Which would you take, if you could: immortality or eternal youth (minus the immortality part) or neither?
  3. Rem knows why Ashley left town, but he doesn’t tell anyone. Could you have kept that a secret, with all the rumors flying around the small town?
  4. When Rem finds out Ashley’s connection to Owen, he’s angry that Ashley had even come to Ava knowing what she knew. Was he justified in his thoughts and actions?
  5. Should Ashley have mentioned to Rem her connection to Owen sooner?
  6. Rem sights his loyalty to his brother for not continuing to see Ashley? Is this reasonable?
  7. Ashley abruptly leaves town after Rem says that he no longer loves her. Is she justified in doing this? Would you have wanted to get out of town after what had happened?
  8. Rem sees Ashley’s words--there are just some things in this world you don’t take for granted. And that’s one of them—as a sign from his brother. Do you think he needed something like this to feel okay about seeing Ashley again? And why do you think that is?​
  9. In the epilogue, Ashley says that it’s not one moment that shapes an entire life, but a series of moments—one on top of the other. How do you interpret this statement?
