L2L2 Publishing is pleased to announce that we have signed a new author.

Before we introduce her to you, we would love to tell you a little about her book. It is stunning!

Azriel

Born in secrecy and hidden away in shame, Bree Faro learns early in life that she has only herself to depend on. Due to her feisty nature and her unusual ability with a sword, Bree is educated in every fighting style imaginable and excels at them all. She is soon trained to be a personal bodyguard of the king.

So when she is sent to infiltrate the city of Azriel, one of the Five Cities of the Valley founded by the Watchmen, she is not expecting to find her place among the Watchmen of the Keep. Taken in by the Watchmen of Azriel, Bree begins to learn who she really is. She soon discovers that Love is real and is beckoning to her with a still, small voice.

Little does Bree know that her companions are in danger. An immortal creature lies in wait for any Keeper of the Flame who would be seduced by her charms, the city’s water source has dried up, and the Watchmen are under constant attack by the Yirtzi—former Watchmen reduced to vengeful spirits, who sold their souls for power only to realize that the enemy of Yahweh does not translate to the friend of mankind.

Not only that, but the Watchmen are fraying. Hostilities come to a head when a Watchman is murdered. Only a Watchman can kill another Watchman, and all eyes shift to Bree.

Bree finds herself faced with a choice. Does she engineer the betrayal of her father’s people, or does she embrace her destiny as a true Watchman of Yahweh and find the killer before it is too late?

This captivating tale is written by the lovely Lee James, a debut author L2L2 Publishing is proud to introduce to our readers.

Lee James writes stories of hope and redemption. Whether she creates fantasy, mystery, or historical fiction, her beautifully awkward characters traverse a dark labyrinth on their journey to a hopeful end. Her work is dedicated to sharing the beauty of Christ, one faith-infused project at a time. A lifelong lover of the written word, Lee started crafting alternate worlds as a child.

Today, she is vehement about the importance of creating and preserving the sanctity of the written word. In that vein, she supports literacy programs and her local libraries. Most importantly, she supports her fellow writers. When not writing, she enjoys photography, watching The Simpsons, and of course, reading.

James lives in Upstate NY and survives the snowy winters by diving deep into fantasy worlds, consuming copious amounts of coffee and chocolate, and pretending she is an authority figure to her two cats. Her one attempt at LARPing ended with three broken toes, so she prefers to do her sword fighting in her imagination.

Keep up-to-date with all of her stories at www.leejameswrites.com. Follow her on Twitter or Instagram @LJamesthewriter or on Facebook @WriterLeeJames.

Welcome, Lee James, to L2L2 Publishing! We cannot wait to share your story with our readers!

Up next: 2020 Production Schedule, 2020 Conference Schedule, and Cover Reveal for Burn: Book Three of the Firebrand Chronicles by J.M. Hackman.

We want to extend a huge thank you to each person who participated in Keen’s launch, especially those who were a part of Laura’s blog tour and cover reveal, those who shared absolutely anything Keen on social media, and particularly those who left a review.

Thank you so much!

As with every book L2L2 Publishing releases, we could not have done this without you.

Now that you’ve read Keen (or once you do), would you mind leaving a brief one-to-two sentence review and let us and others know what you thought of the book?

>>>A review is the single most important thing a reader can do to help an author’s book succeed. Seriously! Reviews make new books visible to more readers, encourage the author, and let us know what you enjoyed about the story. So help us spread the word and leave a brief review, anywhere you like!<<<

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, and we cannot wait to bring you more clean, stirring, and simply lovely fiction. You, our readers, mean the world to us and to our author.

Happy reading!

Did you miss out on any of the behind-the-scenes posts on Laura’s blog tour? Below is the full schedule if you’d like to learn more about Keen!

Blog Tour Schedule:

We cannot wait to show you this gorgeous new cover by Sara Helwe Digital Arts!

Our next release, Keen: Banshee Song Series, Book One by Laura L. Zimmerman, had been long anticipated by our readers. We are thrilled to share further details with you.

First of all, here is more info about the lovely book itself:

You must walk the darkness to find the light.

Half-faerie Caoine has no control over the banshee lament she sings each night, predicting the death of others. A senior in a brand new high school, she expects the same response she’s received at every other school: judgment from fellow students over her unusual eyes and unnaturally white skin and hair. However, when Caoine arrives at West Lincoln High, for the first time in her life she finds friends. Real friends.

But being a teenager is never easy, especially when the star soccer player, Oliver, sets his sights on her. Allowing him to get close means revealing her curse to the human world.

She can’t let that happen.

Life spins further out of control when her lament comes out during the day, those whose death she predicts die right in front of her, and a dark faerie known only as the Unseelie prince blames Caoine by leaving her the creepiest notes ever.

Her curse is not supposed to work like that.

In a race against time, Caoine must uncover the Unseelie prince’s identity and stop a spell before it unleashes hell on earth, all while trying to control her banshee song and finding a place among her peers.

Senior year just got real.

Seriously such a good book. Now just a few more details before we show you that gorgeous cover.

Keen releases on Tuesday, July 9, 2019.

Keen’s blog tour will be Monday, July 1st–Friday, July 12th.

We are thrilled to welcome Laura L. Zimmerman to the L2L2 Publishing family!

Zimmerman’s debut novel, Keen, follows the fantastical adventures of Caoine, a half-faerie high school student who happens to be a banshee. Our acquisitions editor knew this story was a perfect fit for us, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

Intrigued? We thought so. Here’s a little more about Keen:

You must walk through the dark to find the light.

Born a half-faerie, Caoine is forced to sing her banshee lament each night, predicting the death of others. A senior in a brand-new school, she faces the same response she’s received in every other school—judgment from fellow students over her unusual eyes and unnaturally white skin and hair. However, when Caoine arrives at West Lincoln High, she finds that for the first time in her life she has friends—real friends.

But being a teenager is never easy, especially when the star soccer player, Oliver, sets his sights on her. Allowing him to get close can only mean one thing—revealing her curse to the human world. Life spins further out of control when Oliver’s ex-girlfriend decides to use Caoine as a social punching bag and she receives mysterious notes from a dark faerie known only as the Unseelie Prince. People are dying, and she has until Halloween to figure out why.

In a race against time, Caoine must uncover the truth of the Unseelie Prince’s identity and stop a spell that can unleash hell on earth, all while trying to control her banshee song and find a place among her peers at school.

Senior year just got real.

We’re excited to keep you updated with more news about this amazing tale.

And what about the lovely author?

Laura L. Zimmerman lives in a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband, three daughters, and three furbaby felines. As a child, she became convinced she was a mermaid, which she still believes to this day. Being a mythological creature, she caught the traveling bug at an early age and spent two and a half years with a missionary organization roaming the world. During her travels she met her Mr. Darcy, and they married soon after. Recently, she and her family moved across the country twice in a ridiculously short amount of time, but she’s happy to report she plans to stay put for a good number of years, thank you very much.

Laura is currently a stay-at-home mom and home educator by day, drinker of coffee by night. Besides writing, she’s passionate about loving Jesus, watching anything Star Wars, and singing loudly. An avid reader, she often has overdue library fines and a TBR pile as tall as Trump Tower.

Her favorite form of writing is flash fiction, which is evident from the number of stories she’s produced on her blog as well as contests she’s entered and even judged! You can catch her in a bookstore, coffee shop, or shoveling popcorn in her mouth at the local movie theater.

Connect with Laura on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or her website, Caffeinated Fiction. She is represented by Cyle Young at Hartline Literary Agency.

We are thrilled to introduce you to our new author, and we cannot wait to share her book Keen with you!

Happy reading!

About the Book

Kill the Beast: Book One of the Beast Hunters

Ro remembers the castle as it was before. Before the gates closed. Before silence overtook the kingdom. Before the castle disappeared. Now it shimmers to life one night a year, seen by her alone.

Once a lady, now a huntress, Ro does what it takes to survive, just like the rest of the kingdom plunged into despair never before known.

But a beast has overtaken the castle; a beast that killed the prince and holds the castle and kingdom captive in his cruel power. A beast Ro has been hired to kill.

Thankful the mystery of the prince’s disappearance has been solved, furious the magical creature has killed her hero, Ro eagerly accepts the job to end him.

But things are not as they seem.

Trapped in the castle, a prisoner alongside the beast, Ro wonders what she should fear most: the beast, the magic that holds them both captive, or the one who hired her to kill the beast.

A Beauty and the Beast retelling.

We are thrilled to reveal the cover for our October release, Fairyeater by Pam Halter!

All fifteen-year-old Akeela has ever wanted is an ordinary family who will love her. But the only mother she has ever known is the old hag, Krezma, who berates her night and day. Why did the old woman even take her in?

But Krezma knows her charge is no ordinary child. She can see the auras surrounding living things and communicates with fairies. And the birthmark on her palm reveals a secret Krezma must hold close for the child’s safety.

A secret that the witch, Tzmet, hunts for night and day, drying and eating fairies for the power they contain. When Akeela discovers her fate lies in being the next Fairy Guardian, all hope for an ordinary life dissipates like the dreams they were. She must protect the fairies from the witch and an even darker power that threatens them all.

Akeela is unwillingly thrust into an adventure that throws her into the hands of friends, strangers, and enemies masquerading as allies, and it will not end until she decides to accept her fate and give up her dream.

Maybe even her life.

And now for the lovely cover:

Sara Helwe of Sara Helwe Digital Arts outdid herself with this lovely cover, and we are so thankful for Kim Sponaugle of Picture Kitchen Studio for her fairy illustrations.

Thank you for joining us for this cover reveal!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

One year ago today, we signed a new author to L2L2 Publishing.

An avid reader since birth (her parents claim she often kept them up late begging to hear just one more story), Laurie Lucking discovered her passion for writing after leaving her career as an attorney to become a stay-at-home mom. She writes young adult fantasy with a strong thread of romance, and her debut novel, Common, releases in 2018 from Love2ReadLove2Write Publishing. Laurie is the secretary of her local ACFW chapter and a co-founder of www.landsuncharted.com, a blog for fans of clean young adult speculative fiction. A Midwestern girl through and through, she currently lives in Minnesota with her husband and two young sons. Find out more about Laurie and her writing by visiting www.laurielucking.com.

And now, exactly one year later, her stunning debut novel, Common, releases.

Only one person knows of the plot against the royal family and cares enough to try to stop it—the servant girl they banished.

Leah spends her days scrubbing floors, polishing silver, and meekly curtsying to nobility. Nothing distinguishes her from the other commoners serving at the palace, except her red hair.

And her secret friendship with Rafe, the Crown Prince of Imperia.

But Leah’s safe, ordinary world begins to splinter. Rafe’s parents announce his betrothal to a foreign princess, and she unearths a plot to overthrow the royal family. When she reports it without proof, her life shatters completely when the queen banishes her for treason.

Harbored by an unusual group of nuns, Leah must secure Rafe’s safety before it’s too late. But her quest reveals a villain far more sinister than an ambitious nobleman with his eye on the throne.

Can a common maidservant summon the courage to fight for her dearest friend?

Congratulations, Author Laurie Lucking! We are crazy about your book, and we know our readers will be as well!

In fact, here are what a few of her endorsers had to say.

“Common is a well-told tale of true sacrificial friendship with a dash of sweet romance and a sprinkling of fairy tale magic. Teens and adults alike will enjoy this engaging coming-of-age fantasy.”

—Carrie Anne Noble, award-winning author of The Mermaid’s Sister

~

“Common pulls readers into a fantasy world of forbidden attraction, unforeseeable twists, and memorable characters. Plan on staying up all night reading—you won’t be able to put it down!”

—Sara Baysinger, author of the Black Tiger Series

~

“Common is a lovely coming-of-age story with a sweet romance that will have you holding your breath in anticipation.”

—Julie Hall, USA Today Best-Selling author of the Life After Series

~

“Engaging and intriguing! Laurie Lucking’s Common pulled me in and kept me riveted from beginning to end. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next!”

—Katie Clark, author of the Enslaved Series

~

“Common deserves every point on each of its sparkling five stars. I truly loved it, regardless of the fact that it’s a lot more romance-heavy than I normally read. The book taught me a lesson about expanding my boundaries, and that a great story is simply a great story and can be thoroughly enjoyed regardless of whether or not it’s squarely set in your favorite genre. I feel silly for ever being so picky!

If you’re looking for a relaxing, heartwarming story you can dive into headfirst, I highly recommend that you grab a copy of Common. You won’t regret it!”

—Jamie Foley, author of the Sentinel Trilogy

Happy Release Day!

And Happy Reading!
