I just finished up the edits of DEADLY LITTLE SECRET, the first book in the TOUCH SERIES. It's about a mysterious boy who has a very dark past and a very special power. Ben Carter, 17, has the ability to touch a person or object and sense something from him/it. Sometimes this touch power is a blessing; most of the time it’s a curse, especially when he’s unable to control it. The main character, Camelia Hammond, 16, falls for Ben – hard – despite his dangerous past and despite how much she also fears him. The novel is loaded with suspense, drama, romance, and mystery and it’s slated for a fall 2008 release.

I've just started writing the second book in the TOUCH SERIES.

Also, in more exciting news, I just wanted to say thanks for the outpouring of support about the possibility of a 5th companion book to the BIFN series! I'm very truly grateful. And, because of all your support, my publisher has agreed to let me do another book in the series. We’re talking about a summer 09 release for BLACK IS FOR BEGINNINGS, a graphic novel, starring all your favorite BIFN characters!

Will I do a sequel to BLEED? I hope so - that would be fun. I've received lots of encouragement from readers on this possible project. Keep letting me know what you like and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks so much for your interest!

All best to you all,
Laurie
