I Wrote A Book

Well, I've written several books, most of which are 3/4 finished. This one sat on the back burner for many years because I didn't know what to do with it and I was too scared to try to move it forward. 

But I found a little courage and here we are now! 

Lesser Evils, a historical romance set in the American West is available for purchase on Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo & Tolino.

"To protect her sister, Abby Fraser became an outlaw. Handcuffed and lost in the desert, she’s rescued by Dalton Laine, a gun-slinging rancher. He claims to have rescued her out of the goodness of his heart, but Abby soon realizes she’s not the only one keeping dangerous secrets.

Dalton spent the last five years dedicated to revenge. Throwing in with a pretty spitfire wasn't part of the plan. Neither was the hope she makes him feel. Now Dalton begins to wonder if there may be a future for him after all.

He provides her a convenient alibi, pretending to be her husband and hiring her on at his ranch until it's safe for her to move on. That's all it was supposed to be.

But the worst secrets never stay buried and sometimes the past has a life of its own— especially if you don’t kill it dead enough."

The world of publishing is changing at a wildly rapid pace, thanks in large part to Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing program, which allows authors to get their work out there without relying on a traditional publisher. Instead, we rely on our own promotions and reviews from readers. 

Whether I sell 11 copies or 11,000, getting this out there available for sale is a dream come true on its own. And if some people read it and enjoy it, all the better.

My Next Book

My second novel, working title: Lesser Evils, is happening! I've got a lot of work done on the book and I want to share it with you as I'm writing.

The first chapter is available for download below and future updates will be available on my shiny new writing blog, N.L. Writes. I'll continue to release chapters as they're edited and listen to any of your feedback. I'll also post other writing updates, free e-book days and self-publishing notes on the blog.

Here is a synopsis of Lesser Evils:

"On the run from her past, Abby is in deep trouble when she’s saved from the desert by a stranger. But the mysterious rancher has secrets of his own, which may endanger Abby in more ways than one. 

Dalton is on a dark mission when he falls upon Abby, half-dead and handcuffed in the Texas desert. He helps her because she needs it, but his motives might not truly be as pure as he claims."

Intrigue, adventure, romance!
