For less than a latte, you can support a poor, fantasy-prone writer’s delusion.
Seriously though, I’m proud to say that I’ve reached all my goals thus far. I did everything I said I would, (besides losing all the baby weight), and in fact, launched on the day I chose months ago!
Yay!
*Crowds cheer*
I’m so happy to say that my debut novel and first of the Infinite Series, Infinite Sacrifice, can now be purchased at Amazon, Smashwords, and B & N. There is also a print version available here.
Maya’s shocked to discover it’s not the heaven she imagined;in fact, a life of adventure begins the moment you die.
Zachariah, her faithful spirit guide, explains the rules of the dead: in order to regain complete awareness and reunite with loved ones all souls must review their previous lives.
Maya plunges warily into her turbulent pasts as a sociopathic High Priest in ancient Egypt; an independent mother protecting a dangerous secret in glorious Sparta; an Irish boy kidnapped and enslaved by Vikings; and a doctor’s wife forced to make an ethical stand in plague-ridden England.
All the while, Maya yearns to be with those she cares about most and worries that she hasn’t learned all of heaven’s most vital lessons. Will she be forced to leave the tranquility of heaven to survive yet another painful and tumultuous
life? Or worse, accept the bitter reality of having to go back alone?
To kick-off off the launch, I wanted to host a little giveaway…

Well, good luck to all you launch promoters, and I just wanted to say thank you to all my amazing, supportive blog followers for sticking with me throughout all of this.
Lauren, congratulations! What a milestone. I read Infinite Sacrifice and really enjoyed it, especially the plot surprises I never saw coming. I could also tell you spent weeks of research and loved every minute of it. Good luck with the launch.
(P.S. Remember to put the search tags on the book’s Amazon page.)
Holly, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tag tip. I’m going to add them right away 🙂
Talk about inspiration! You did everything you said you would and that deserves a few cheers! Hip-hip Hurray! Hip-hip Hurray!
Good luck on your launch. I’ll be posting my review of your book on Amazon today! Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Past lives:
I feel like I’ve had a past life in Ireland and one during the late 18th-early 19th century.
Thanks so much for the cheers and review. It will be so interesting to see where most people feel connected to. You’ll be the next to launch your debut novel! Can’t wait!
I would like to have been in the roaring 1920’s.
Wow, two people feel a connection to the 1920’s. That was such an amazing time– wwI ended, swing, speakeasies, flappers, and pre-depression affluence.
For some reason I have always wished I could have lived back in the 1920’s and 30’s – if I could be reincarnated I’d like to be a young adult during the roaring 20’s! I’d gladly take on the hardships of the time to experience the great times that my grandmother told me about.
I remember some of my grandmother’s stories as well. What I wouldn’t give to do the Charleston in a smoky speakeasy…
I read the excerpt available on Amazon – I can’t wait to read the rest!
Thanks so much Susan! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Lauren!!! Congratulations!! 🙂 I’m so excited for you – I woke up this morning and was like, “OH my goodness, it’s today!” 🙂 I’m totally doing a review next week on the blog (because this week’s been way crazy) but I did do a post on it releasing and I’m so excited!
Hm… an affinity for a certain time or place, hmm? Well… I love medieval warfare, but that’s mainly because one of my friends talks about it so much. So I think I’ll mix history with fantasy here and say I feel like I was reincarnated from some fantasy world. Definitely with dragons. 🙂 Either that or revolutionary France. 🙂
And I twittered (tweeted? I can never remember) so that’s four points. Of course, I totally would have anyway, because your book deserves the word to get out. It’s amazing. 🙂
Bethany, I saw your blog today and you are so sweet. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me. And now that I’ve launched I’ll finally get a moment to read your WIP!
I tweeted about you!

Yay!
Congrats, Lauren! You should be very proud of yourself. 🙂 I love the mug and the charm!
I am really enjoying reading Infinite Sacrifice. I automatically get transported to another place when I start reading your book! I am hoping to post a review about it no later than two weeks from now.
Oooh and I am going to Tweet about your launch!
Thanks so much Sara. I’m thrilled you’re liking Infinite Sacrifice! A review will be fantastic whenever you have the time–sounds like you’re going to be pretty busy from now on 😉 Mark me down for an ARC!
