Your book has intrigued me with its description. Do you have a link for where it can be purchased from?
I’m so glad it caught your attention! I will be releasing it 11/11/11 and I hope to have it available in all formats.
Ah, sounds good. I will bookmark your site
Lauren, I love the book cover for Infinite Sacrifice. I also love the book description and can’t wait to read it.
Thanks so much Holly! It’s so great to hear feedback if your cover & description works or not. November’s coming so fast!
I am currently reading the second book and must say, I love them! I tried out the first book while I was on my kindle looking for free books with good reviews and once I started reading I was hooked! Within 2 days I purchased the second one and am 3/4 of the way through that one! I am sad it is almost done! Great idea and wonderful stories!! I am thinking of purchasing a hard copy of the books for my library at home as well as my kindle! Thank you for writing these!
This has touched me so much, Lindsay. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how much you’re enjoying the series. I wrote a whole post about how much fans like you inspire and motivate me.

This comment is going up on my inspiration board! You have made my week 🙂
Hi Lauren: I ordered your free novel and bought the sequel. I can’t wait to start reading. You know I should be writing, but I need to relax some, also. So I am snuggling up to a good book tonight, and it is yours. I will be back with a comment when I am done. If you get a chance, check out “The Veil.” I would love to hear what you think? Be back shortly.
I just discovered the awesomeness that is Infinite Sacrifice! I literally started reading it today! I’m not even done with it and I LOVE IT!! I’ve already bought the ridiculously underpriced second book! I’m reading slowly because I already don’t know what I’m going to do until the third comes out! The research you’ve done to have the time periods historically accurate…Amazing! It makes you feel like you’re really there! Ma’am, you freaking rock!!
Careda, your comments were such a lovely wake-up call this morning! Thank you so much for letting me know how much you’re enjoying the first book. The satisfaction in telling a story is fulfilled when they reach a reader like you. I hope you enjoy book number two just as much!
I have read approximately 12 books since I read Infinite Sacrifice and Infinite Devotion, and your books are still the ones I think about constantly. I cried at the end of each life, only to find myself smiling again at the start of a new life. I felt like I was being sucked back into the lives of the characters with them. The places and the people felt so vivid and descriptive.I love how you researched the time periods. I’m not a very religious person, but I wouldn’t mind thinking of this being how life ends and begins anew. I also loved how you had the traits of characters pass through in their different lives. I can’t thank you enough for writing these stories, and I am eagerly awaiting Infinite Loss.
I don’t think I can ever let you know how much this means to me, Kimberly. I truly eat up every word and savor them! And I will admit (even though it makes me sound pretty pathetic) that praises such as yours give me goosebumps and bring happy tears.
It is so great to know that my stories are connecting with readers like you and that they stay in your head even after the last page. I would love to know which character has touched you the most. Since I have so many, I always wonder which one resonates with readers most. Or is there a past life you connect to more than others? If I had my way I’d love to read over my fans’ shoulders, but *sigh* that is not possible—and would be pretty creepy…haha.
Thank you so much for writing back. I truly loved parts of each life, but if I had to pick which lives resonated most with me I’d have to say the Spartan Life, the Viking/Pirates of the North, and the Spanish Crusade. I loved how you referenced in the Irish Robin Hood the Viking and Spanish Crusade lives also. Again I have to repeat there were characters from each life that meant something to me, and I’m sure as well to your other readers. Just keep doing what you naturally do and I’m sure Infinite Loss will be just as wonderful.
I love to hear which lives touched you the most. I plan on posting up a poll when the series is through where people get to vote for their favorites. I think it has a lot to do with which time period/country resonates most with each person.
I’m amazed that you picked up on ALL of the references—many people don’t notice those! I was going to include them in some discussion questions on Goodreads to help readers find them. That makes me so happy that you realized them on your own.
I appreciate the vote of confidence with Infinite Loss. I’m working so hard to make it unique and meaningful so that it lives up to my fans’ expectations. I’m getting close to finishing the first draft! *Eeek!*

Wow, I just finished the 3rd book. I was hooked from book 1, I’m hungry for more!!!!! You write beautifully! When your characters are happy you feel it, when they are sad you feel it. You become attached to them. Do you by chance have your books in hard copy? My grandmother would love this series but she does not have an e-reader.
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed all the books, Kalyn! It means so much to hear that you felt my character’s emotions. I do have paperback copies available through Amazon.

Thanks so much for the kind words and I hope your Grandma enjoys them!
I just finished the 3rd book and am so devastated to find I must wait for more. I got the first book free and thought “how good can it be if it is being given away?” Oh but what a wonderous and absolutely delightful surpriise!! Your writing is excellent. I did not want to stop reading. After the first book, I had to have the next two. Thank you ,by the way, for such reasonable pricing. Your books not being outragously priced allowed for me to splurge on my tight budget. I bought both and was so excited to get started on them. Your attention to detail is awesome. Your words flow and allow a complete picture come to life around your reader. I felt like I was transformed into whatever to time period I was reading about. When some lives came to an end I cried. With others I smiled. Even with some of the lives I thought I would not have interst in upon first reading, but you still managed to pull my in. I love the liberties you took with the stories of so many famous characters while still doing them justice and keeping historical facts. I absolutley love what you did with Poe. They were all great, but I must mention him as he is one of my absolute favorites. Please let out the next one soon. You are an amazing writer and have definitely gained a new fan here.
I got the first book free as many others, and before I was even close to done I went back to get whatever else you had written. I am only halfway through the third, but I had to see if there was a date for the fourth (I signed up for the mailing list instead). I had already planned to review anywhere I could (still the plan, but will wait until I finish the third one), but seeing these comments I wanted to let you know now how big of an effect your books have on me. The most visible effect was when I was reading about the life during the Black Plague – the changes from quite disturbed to huge elation were espescially astonishing, as books in that era normally leave me unaffected or uninterested. I can’t put my finger on it, but something there resonated with me.
PS: My Danish teacher was very curious about what had engrossed me so that I didn’t even notice him talking to me, so I told him about the premise of the series. The next day he told me he had downloaded the first book from Amazon
Sarah, this has meant the world to me! I know I keep saying to same things in response to such amazing comments, but I can’t even find the words to tell you how this makes me feel. To connect with you in such a way is my ultimate goal as a writer and I can’t thank you enough for letting me know in such a touching way (and I hope I didn’t get you in trouble with your Danish teacher! :))
Oh not to worry, it was break time, and we’ve been using the breaks to talk litterature. Though until now it has been discussions, not recommendations 😉 I’m on my way to school now, and am really looking forward to hearing what he thought of it.
These books were amazing !!! Just could not put them down. I found the first one by accident, 4 chapters in and I bought the rest. Makes u think how people u have never met can all of a sudden give a person that deja vu feeling. Waiting very patiently on the next book. Xx
I’m so glad that you enjoyed all three books! What a happy accident for me:) It feels so wonderful when readers tell me that my book has changed the way they look at relationships in their lives and made them consider other possibilities. Thank you so much for letting me know (and for being so patient waiting for Infinite Faith!) My two week old is taking up all of my time lately, but I’m hoping to carve out some writing time soon!
When is the new infinite book coMing?? I just finished book 3….I’m dying to read the next one!!
It means so much to me that you’ve liked the series, Rachael. I can’t wait to get back to Infinite Faith once I finally start getting some sleep! I used to write after putting my other two kids to bed, but now there are no late night writing sessions 😦 Yet, sleep deprivation doesn’t hinder all the planning and writing in my head. I’ll be sure to let everyone know when the first draft is finished!
I have loved all of these books. I will be looking forward to seeing infinite faith and anything else you will write. It is such an interesting premise and it does make one think that , the lives we lead and the people in our life …well we are all souls just trying to get it right. Great stuff and congrats on your third kiddo.
Can’t wait!
How is Infinite Faith coming just finished the first three and can’t wait to read the next.
Hi Nancy!
I’m busy writing/editing Infinite Faith at the same time. This way once I’ve finished writing the last life, I can publish it quickly. It’s my longest book by far (and the last two books were doorstops!). Looking back, I almost wish that I published each life separately since each life is a book in itself. Then I could get them out sooner to my patient readers, but alas, this is how it evolved. Thank you so much for reading the other three books and I’m so glad you’re looking forward to the fourth!
Awesome series cant wait for the last book , when is the last one releasing ?
I’m so glad you loved Infinite Faith and all the others. I don’t have a release date yet but it will take some time. I hate making all my fantastic fans wait, but I have to make this last book perfect. However, I’ll be sure to post updates and I’ll let everyone know once I near a release date. Plus it’s going to be so bittersweet to complete the series. I might need some time to process it:(
🙂
Hi Lauren…..I have read all four of the Infinite Series Books. Is there another one coming, or was Infinite Faith the last one? 😦 I have read these books at least twice already, and will read them again and again. I absolutely love the stories and just thinking of the what ifs of reincarnating from one life to the next. My favorite so far is the one with the Native American life. I haven’t read them for quite some time but that’s the one I think of off hand. If this is the end of this series is there any other books you’ll be coming out with? Love, love, love your writing!!!
Joan
Hello Joan! Thank you so much for such a wonderful compliment. I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed them enough to read them multiple times! The Native American life is my favorite as well 🙂 The good news is that this not the end of the series. There is most definitely another book coming. The bad news is that it might be some time before it’s finished due to four kids ranging from 11 to 1 that keep me busy from sunrise and leave me too exhausted to write after they finally go to bed. Also I originally planned on a different focus for my last book but I have had a bit of a spiritual invention/inspiration that is guiding me to a different ending and I need to research that and be sure that is the direction I want to go in. I apologize for the delay but I won’t rush something so important to me just to get the book out. It has to be perfect since this series is so special to me. Most of all, I don’t want to disappoint my loyal readers.
Kind regards,
Lauren
