Lauren Stewart lives in Northern California with two teenagers, a cat named Luna Lovegood, and a very hairy, drooly old man who loves belly rubs. Lauren reads almost every genre so naturally, her writing reflects that. In all her novels, you'll find elements of other genres--fantasy, mystery, romance, paranormal, suspense, all with a touch of humor.

Because what doesn't kill us should make us laugh.

Thanks so much, Tina! I know it's taking me forever, so thank you and everybody else for your incredible patience. <3

Deeper Water (Laney & Carson's novella), A Serious F*cking Miracle (the working title of Anna's story), and Immaterial Defense are at different stages of editing right now (one's an early draft, another is mid-edit and one is getting a final look-over before I send it to my proofreader). My goal (fingers crossed) is to have ALL THREE of them out by the end of the year (or maybe Jan). Deeper Water will be first - in just over a month (agh!!!)

So thanks for your patience and support. Keep an eye out here or via my newsletter for more detailed news.

XOXO

Topics Mentioning This Author

“I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. ”
Joss Whedon

“A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.”
Stephen King

“Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.”
Stephen King

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
Stephen King

“Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.”
Stephen King , The Stand

Yay! Thanks, Lisa. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. But sadly yes, it's too early to ask for book two. Ha. I'm working as fast as I can, but want it to be the best it can be before releasing it. I hope you understand.

As time gets closer, I'll be posting updates and teasers on facebook, so feel free to friend me. Until then, also feel free to tell all your friends and neighbors about the book. Heehee

Thanks again,

Lauren

Lauren Stewart Alicia wrote: "You're pretty. :)"

LOL. Golly, thanks. If I told you this was the best photo of me ever taken, and I'm actually 102 years old, would it disappoint you? ;)


Lauren Stewart The reason I haven't put up a photo before is because I believe myself to be the world's most unphotogenic person. Any picture I put up, I'd hate. And then I would avoid coming to this site entirely. And that would just suck. Someday I shall find a photographer who knows photoshop well enough to make me look human.

I decided to post a picture so that people will know I do indeed have a face. This pic is a few years old (no, not twenty years old-thanks a lot though). See how happy I am in it? Wanna know why? My third pina colada is just out of frame.

Since I will be attending the RWA convention in a few weeks, I thought it was important for people to know what I look like...before they start laughing. Please feel free to say hi if you see me getting yet another cup of coffee, grocery shopping in my sweats, or yelling at my incredibly angelic children. :)


Lauren Stewart Alicia wrote: "So . . . when is Hyde coming out?"

Hi! I have a few folks reading it now. When they tell me how awesome it is (and they will. Oh yes, they will. Even if I have to threaten their families to get them to say it), it will be proofread. So I am very comfortable saying that the release date is...

Sometime.

Ha. Mid-July would be ideal.

How is yours going?

Laura Kreitzer Hi! I do remember you, Lauren! :D So glad you found me on Goodreads.

Awesome! I can't wait. My writing email is: ReadLaurens@gmail.com, just in case. When did you get it, by whom, and how much do you love it? :)
