“Sometimes imagination pounces; mostly it sleeps soundly in the corner, purring.” 
~~ Terri Guillemets, Quotations Anthologist   

My imagination pounced on me last summer. Ideas that purred for months finally woke up, stretched, and aimed for their target.

Over a year has passed since you’ve heard from me via “Journey to Imagination.” That’s because my journey has taken a new direction. 

To introduce another metaphor (because I can’t resist) . . .

“Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul — and you answer.”
~~ Terri Guillemets

I heard the knocking for quite a while, but I could easily find noisy distractions to muffle the sound. Who was knocking, you ask? Two things, actually. Two ideas that grew into a full-blown launch and relaunch:

• The launch of my new website and blog: Standout Stories
• The re-launch of my book All That Is Hidden

I would love for you to join me on both of these ventures!

My novel, All That Is Hidden, was published in 2012. Discontent, it wanted some attention—a fresh cover and more revision. Standing next to it in the doorway was this crazy idea with its constant babbling about starting a new blog that would feature authors and their books. 

I disabled the doorbell and turned off the front porch lights. But they kept knocking.

So I finally answered the door. And now you can see the results.

I’m relaunching All That Is Hidden with a brand new cover and some interior changes. It’s still the same compelling story, but now it has the benefit of all I’ve learned about writing and editing over the past few years. 

Consider it a renovation–a downsizing, if you will. The book is much shorter, stronger with better pacing. (It’s not technically a 2nd edition. If you see this new book cover on Amazon, you’re in the right place to purchase.)

Would you like to join my launch team? That means reading the book and writing a review on Amazon and other places (the same review in each).

Posting an Amazon review for this novel would be a great help to me. 

If you’re a reader of historical fiction, you’ll get some good recommendations on my new blog, Standout Stories. It focuses on authors and their novels, and includes author interviews. 

This website is separate from Journey to Imagination. By subscribing, you’ll be notified about each new book review, two or three monthly. You can opt out anytime.

You can sample Standout Stories here to get the flavor.

You can join my monthly email newsletter here: www.StandoutStoriesNewsletter.com

Subscribers to my newsletter will be privy to writing updates, freebies, and giveaways.

Thank you for accompanying me on the Journey to Imagination for the past few years. I hope you’ll continue the journey on Standout Stories.

Ever musing,

Laura
