THE TROUBLE WITH FAKING is now available!

My newest book baby is here!

 
Yaaaaaaay!!! I'm so happy to have this book out in the world. Andi was a super fun character to write. She has a wacky dress sense, she's a book tuber, and she designs stuff for Etsy. (I also got to write about several hot guys, and, you know, that's always fun ;-) ). 


THE TROUBLE WITH FAKING
Contemporary Romance
Upper YA / Sweet NA



After a stupid miscommunication, everyone in Andi’s new res thinks she’s secretly dating Damien, boyfriend of resident queen bee Charlotte. Since the rumour’s already out there and refuses to be squashed, Andi and Damien decide to keep up the facade in the hopes of snagging the attention of the people they really want to be with. Brilliant plan, right? Especially since Damien is the guy Andi’s always wanted. But now there’s Mike, the guy Andi’s pretending to be interested in for the sake of the fake relationship plan, and Noah, Damien’s annoying best friend—who is so not Andi’s type—and suddenly the plan isn’t looking so brilliant anymore.

New from Carlyle Labuschagne: DEAD OF NIGHT (AFTERSHOCK #1)


Dead of Night
by Carlyle Labuschagne
Young Adult Dystopian Romance



In a dark and desolated After Earth, love still does exist,
but the cost of bearing such a flaw is death.

World War III has left Earth in utter turmoil. People’s beliefs are said to be
the cause of the worldwide destruction. After The Clearing new laws are set about -
to show certitude in anything besides the law is weak and chargeable as mutiny.
To be illogical and have faith in religion is illegal, to be limitless is dangerous.
And illness is seen as a defect – all flaws that are inexcusable.

But to love is the greatest betrayal of all mankind. It is a fault the world has
long forgotten and punishable by death, a fatal risk Aecker and Opel are
fully prepared to take - because in love there is freedom.
But how far can they push back before it claims
their lives and of those they care about?

The release of the first Trouble novel,
The Trouble with Flying



When nineteen-year-old introvert Sarah boards a plane to fly home after an overseas holiday, the last thing she expects is Aiden, the guy sitting next to her who’s never flown anywhere before and refuses to shut up. Hours of random conversation later, they part ways. Sarah can’t stop thinking about Aiden, though, and wondering if she made a terrible mistake letting him go. Should she abandon her safe, predictable life and go in search of him, or would she be chasing a happily ever after that could never exist in real life?

STONE OF DESTINY, the sequel to THE FORGOTTEN ONES by Laura Howard, is now available!

It's World Book Day today!
What a great day on which to release a book :-)






Stone of Destiny (The Danaan Trilogy Book 2)
by Laura Howard
Genre: New Adult Paranormal Romance

Allison thought it was crazy enough when she found out her father, Liam, wasn't entirely human. But now she has to join his magical allies to unravel his former mistress's plans. Aoife wants to keep Allison's parents apart forever.

Despite Allison's efforts to keep Ethan, the only guy she's ever cared about, out of this supernatural mess, fate keeps throwing him back into the mix.

Will Allison be able to find the amulet that holds the enchantment Aoife placed on Liam and destroy it? Are Ethan' s feelings for Allison strong enough to endure the magic of the Tuatha De Danaan?





The Forgotten Ones (The Danaan Trilogy Book 1)




Laura Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known.
