A huge thank you to each person involved with Resilience’s release!

To each person who shared the cover, chatted about the book, invited friends to the online launch party on Facebook, purchased a copy, reviewed said copy, were a part of the blog tour, or absolutely anything else that promoted this book: We could not have done this without you.

You are the reason we publish books. You are the reason our team goes through sleepless nights, intense deadlines, and flurries of emails and more, working feverishly toward a finished product. You are the reason we do what we do.

And we are intensely grateful for each one of you.

If you have missed any posts on the blog tour (or would simply like to read them again), here is the schedule.

Happy reading! (And Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there!)

It takes a slew of people to create a successful book launch.

From sharing the cover, to participating in the blog tour, to attending the launch party, and, most importantly, to purchasing a copy of the author’s new release, it takes a whole team of people to draw attention to a new release and make its launch a smashing hit.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us launch Common by Laurie Lucking!

It is a stunning debut, and we are proud to have it listed among our titles.

To those of you who came to the Facebook launch party: thank you! We are so pleased you took time out of your busy evening to celebrate with our authors and party hosts. You’re the best!

To those of you who participated in the blog tour or read the blog posts: thank you! We are thrilled you cared so much about Laurie Lucking’s story to invest your time and/or blog space to learning more about her beautifully crafted new book. We cannot say thank you enough.

To those of you who shared the cover, the book description, or even the listing on Amazon or Barnes & Noble: a thousand times, thank you! That kind of exposure is what makes other readers take notice and decide to try out a new author. We couldn’t have done this without you.

To everyone who worked behind the scenes to craft this lovely experience for our readers: thank you! From cover artists, to formatters, to editors, to party hosts, to blog tour hosts, and everything in between, our team works hard behind the scenes to bring each of these titles to our readers, and we cannot thank them enough.

Thank you again, and happy reading!

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!

The Final Paladin’s blog tour begins tomorrow!

To begin, we have both a historical peek into the world of The Final Paladin with a visual post on Liv K. Fisher’s blog, then a review of the book by Gretchen Engel.

Here is the schedule:

And here is a little more about the book itself:

Life for Peg Bowman is rough in the infamous slums of Five Points, New York, but her brother’s murder changes everything.

Thrust into incredible worlds beyond any story she’s ever heard, Peg meets Sir Godfrey, an eleven-hundred-year-old knight from Charlemagne’s court, trainer of Paladins. He reveals to Peg her family’s ancient obligation to protect the Key of Apollyon, a relic of immense power. She is the last descendant of the Paladins and his only hope for keeping it safe.

When Godfrey confides her brother was murdered because of the Key, Peg rejects her calling and demands revenge, a luxury she can ill afford as otherworldly creatures seek her death to claim the Key’s power for themselves.

Can Godfrey and his faithful retinue—Chim the Hobgoblin, Rebecca the Jewish Maven and healer, and Jack the sometimes human and sometimes seven-foot Black Dog—keep her safe and convince her that her calling is worth pursuing? Or will she succumb to the Key’s lure and wield it for revenge?

Enjoy!

And don’t forget to join us for the Facebook launch party.

Happy reading!

About the Author:

T.J. Akers desires to be a multimillionaire when he grows up and give his wealth to his favorite causes: churches, schools, and animal shelters. Since the millions have been slow in coming, he’s settled for working as a computer technician for a state university and volunteering at his church and local animal shelter. Whenever possible, he indulges his love of writing stories to entertain people, especially younger readers.

Akers holds a Masters of English from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and can often be found roaming the university’s library, especially the children’s and young adult sections. Librarians have always been his heroes.

He lives with his beloved wife of thirty years, his dog, and two cats. The dog is an excellent writing companion, but the cats have proven to be rather critical. Learn more at www.tjakers.com.
