Hello, readers! Life has been crazy, as usual, but when is it not? I have been attending many events, and while some have been better than others, they are all a learning experience for me. I will be attending the Akron Authors Con this weekend and presenting on my Guide to Self-Publishing a Children’s Book on Sunday at 1pm.
If you are signed up for my newsletter (and why are you not?) then you know I’ve been talking a bit about things I’ve learned along my own writing journey. Good stuff in those newsletters! Definitely worth signing up for! 😉 I have a nifty guide available on Amazon that covers a LOT of useful information that applies to children’s books and self-publishing in general. (You can snag a copy here –> https://a.co/d/05P8zP3W.) This information is what I will cover this Sunday at 1pm at the Akron Authors Con. I’d love to answer any questions you may have about my journey and starting your own writing journey. Drop me a line at lauraballauthor@gmail.com any time! Let’s chat!

Ashes & Alibis is now available on Amazon! It also comes in a large print version so it’s easier on the eyes to read. Large print is available in the paperback and the Kindle version.
The in-person reviews I’ve received have been extremely positive! If you’ve purchased a copy, please help others find it and post a review on Amazon! You wouldn’t believe how helpful a quick review is for indie authors. It would be very much appreciated. A review is the easiest and FREE way to help an author on their journey!
If you haven’t noticed, the website is going through changes. I am trying my best to make the website as user friendly as possible while giving readers as much valuable information as I can. I want you to have an enjoyable experience with the website and be able to find the children’s FREE downloadable content easily as well. Please bear with me as I finalize the updates.
Rocco Raccoon’s Rescue is nearing the finish line. The cover is being edited as I type this. I am super excited to share this fun and imaginative book with all of you! If you enjoyed the Albert the Donkey books, you will LOVE Rocco Raccoon and his friends! Check out the below book summary!
A late-night snack is about to become one wild adventure!
Rocco Raccoon is curious, adventurous, and always hungry. So when his belly starts to rumble, a row of garbage cans looks like the perfect place to find a tasty midnight treat.
But CRASH! A barking dog sends Rocco’s friends, Skippy and Piper, racing for the woods, while Rocco finds himself trapped inside a garbage can!
Then he hears it…
RUMMMBLE!
The garbage truck is coming!
With time running out, can Skippy and Piper find a way to rescue Rocco before his search for a snack takes him on a ride he definitely didn’t plan?
Rocco Raccoon’s Rescue is a fun-filled woodland adventure about friendship, teamwork, and discovering that the best friends are the ones who stick together when you’re in trouble!
The illustrations are beautiful and the story is fun and exciting. Here’s a sneak peek at Rocco:

Just for my wonderful readers, I have collaborated with Lin @ The Witching Hour to offer a sweet deal on a discount for a reading when you verify a purchase of Ashes & Alibis on Amazon!

Thank you for joining me on this wonderful journey. Until next we meet at an event or around town!
Best wishes,
