Instagram post 2156710244082885251_2411133761 #TravelThursday and #TBT to when I took selfies on the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England. This is where I had many deep thoughts about how our sense of time and achievement is controlled by arbitrary decisions made by old dead dudes. Latitude, schmatitude. Standardization, womp womp. I was way more into speeding down the Thames on a commuter ferry so I could climb all over the Cutty Sark ship and think about how to pirate hack my creativity. More deep thoughts from GMT are on this week's episode of the YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

Instagram post 2156358960058301870_2411133761 Maybe the most cosmopolitan romance writer day ever? I went from editing my Halloween romance, PUMPKIN POUNDER (coming soooo soon omg), to drinking fancy cocktails and scoring some sweet notebooks at the @modernlovetv screening at @the.wing. I’m excited to have snagged this copy of the Modern Love book, too! #thewing #modernloveamazon #modernlovetv
Instagram post 2155955254993225504_2411133761 Episode 5: PIRATE HACK YOUR LIFE. While on a writing retreat, Laura visits Greenwich, England and has deep thoughts about pirate ships, creativity, and the Prime Meridian. Basically, time is a scam. Go your own way, pirates. _ 💖 Listen to YOU’RE DOING GREAT for free on your favorite podcast app or at fairybossmother.com
Instagram post 2153298281453846045_2411133761 It’s a beautiful day for brunch by the water. 💙
Instagram post 2152663786689970961_2411133761 Grateful for every moment here. It’s going to be a lot of long hours this month but I don’t mind them when they’re spent surrounded by this.
Instagram post 2150232518246581399_2411133761 BIG NEWS! I'm changing my romance pen name! Meet my new identity: LAURA LOVELY! The next few weeks will see a large expansion in my publishing empire, with the back-to-back releases of PUMPKIN POUNDER and PRINCESS OF THE SEA. It is time for me to expand as well, to a name that encompasses the many stories I have to offer. Not much is changing, except for updated covers, social media and online stuff. If you follow me already, it should be pretty seamless for you. If you want to know more, you can read about it on my pen name's blog at lauralovelybooks.com. Otherwise, I hope you are as excited as I am. There are so many possibilities, for all of us. Thank you for trusting me, for reading my books, and for being among the first to know about this exciting new direction. 💖 _ #bookstagram #writerlife #amwriting #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #penname #authorsofinstagram
Instagram post 2148737647168718945_2411133761 This is my current body of published fiction. What’s crazy is that, in a few weeks, this collection will double when I release another SEA OF LOVE novella (paranormal/historical fantasy romance) and the second of my hot-and-humorous fairytale remixes (short contemporary romance). KING OF THE SEA is what you want if you’d like some silver fox alpha merman action (or if you ever preferred the sea king to the human prince in a certain animated film, or if you’re hot for extended scenes from The Shape of Water). SPLASH ME is short, funny and blends a burly ginger with a mermaid fantasy. It’s what would happen if 80’s mermaid movie Splash had a meet cute on Tinder instead of under the sea. _ Also, I have a few tricks up my sleeve and some things I’m shaking up. I can’t tell you yet, but I’m excited to show you what I’m changing and what’s coming next. Until then, both of these books are available as ebooks on all platforms. KING OF THE SEA is also available in paperback on Amazon. _ #amwriting #bookshelfie #shelfiesunday #thewing #romanceauthor #authorsofinstagram #writerlife #shelfie #bookstagram #bookshelf
Instagram post 2147296607333281500_2411133761 I’m back in New York!!! Re-entry from my writing retreat & European vacation is rough...and it’s not the jet lag. I have big deadlines this month and some not-so-fun apartment stuff to deal with. Not really sure how this will all go down in the next 30 days but the only way through it is forward. Good thing I started a podcast called “You’re Doing Great” because that’s what I keep telling myself. Go me! I can do it!
Instagram post 2145831288139948947_2411133761 Episode 3: EAT YOUR CARBS AND CRY! Laura had dinner with a friend who thought her uppers had worn off, but it turned out she was #hangry. Sometimes you need to have some carbs and cry, but that’s okay. you’re doing great! 💖 Listen to YOU’RE DOING GREAT for free on your favorite podcast app or at fairybossmother.com _ #podcasts #youredoinggreat #youredoinggreatpodcast #shepodcasts
Instagram post 2145401269026753388_2411133761 PSA: It is actually possible to forget how to ride a bike when it’s been 10 (?) years since you’ve done it. However, today’s bike tour through Paris was well worth every moment of terror in the under-construction roundabouts. My favorite parts were riding behind my nephew (who was on a tandem bike with his mom) and sticking our tongues out as he told me, “You’re eating my dust!” (Seriously, that was a special moment, watching his little legs and competitive attitude pedal towards a bright sports-scholarship future.) Also a special moment was when I fell behind our group on my kid-size bike (grown-up bike was too tall) and a nice French couple stopped traffic for me so I could catch up with the group while I yelled, “MERCI BEAUCOUP! JE SUIS AMERICAINE!” Like they couldn’t tell by my pink outfit and my panic. My butt hurts and I only crashed into one ancient wall, but the memories will last a lifetime.
