I’m SO EXCITED I can hardly see straight. Trust me, it was hard to keep this to myself until the news became public today. All of my publisher’s books (She Writes Press for my nonfiction books and SparkPress for my fiction books) will be distributed by SIMON & SCHUSTER beginning August 1, 2024. Woot, Woot!
I’m thrilled to share the cover for Iniquity: A Sean McPherson Novel, Book Four.
When a human trafficking ring kidnaps PI Sean McPherson’s pregnant wife, McPherson learns the lines he’ll cross. Because when a person has it all, they have everything to lose.
Available for preorder now, Iniquity hits the shelves on April 9, 2024.
GET YOUR EARBUDS READY!
I’m excited to announce that Indelible is now available in AUDIOBOOK format on the following platforms: Chirp, Google Play, Kobo, Libro.FM, OverDrive, and Spotify.
It takes a bit longer for Audible, but it will be available there soon.
The narrator for the series is none other than Rebecca Stern. You can check out her work HERE.
See you at Pines & Quill!
I just signed three contracts. I’m not going to share what they’re for just yet. But I’m over the moon with excitement!
The first contract comes to fruition in September. The second, in November. And the third in December.
Newsletter subscribers will be the first to find out what the contracts are for. If you haven’t already signed up, head to lauriebuchanan.com. Sign up for the newsletter is on the home page.
THANK YOU to Ashley Sweeney, Village Books, and the Washingtonians who came out for the in-person Impervious book launch event in Bellingham, WA—home of the Sean McPherson novels.
While in Bellingham, we hiked around Bellingham Bay and explored its many coves. Pines & Quill, the twenty-acre writing retreat featured in the Sean McPherson novels, is nestled among pines above the bay and next to its ten-acre bluff with a steep, nearly perpendicular front.
THANK YOU!
Reviews keep books and authors visible.

If you’re not a shouter, please consider posting a review on Amazon (LINK). You don’t have to purchase the book from them to post a review there. People who buy books elsewhere, receive them as gifts, or check them out from the library can still post reviews on Amazon. Thank you!

Entering a new year is like turning a page in a brand new book where we’re the author and get to write our own story. Here’s to happy, healthy storylines!
Speaking of pages…
At my publisher, SparkPress, Tabitha Lahr is the graphic artist who designs the interior pages for the Sean McPherson novels. I love what she’s done with Impervious, book #3.
It releases on April 4th. You can preorder it now from your favorite bookseller.
I turned a lot of pages in 2022:
At the beginning of each year, I set a reading goal on Goodreads. When I finish reading a book, if I can give it three or more stars, I write a bite-sized review and post it on Goodreads, Bookbub, and Amazon. It’s my way of saying “Thank you” to the author.
Thank YOU, book lovers, for reading, reviewing, and sharing Sean McPherson book recommendations with others, for requesting the series at your local libraries and bookstores, and for cheering me on and supporting me!
Please follow me on BookBub. I currently have 760 followers and would like to take advantage of the perks made available to authors with 1,000+ followers. Here’s a LINK.
