Don't you just love alliteration? :)
This week, I'm excited to participate in Follow Fest, a blog hop of sorts sponsored by Melissa Maygrove. You should totally check out her blog, and sign up for the remaining days of this hop to join in on the fun!
The idea of Follow Fest is to introduce yourself to other bloggers, and to make new connections. Melissa has kindly provided a list of questions, so without further ado, let's get started!
Name: Lara Lacombe
Fiction or nonfiction? Fiction
What genres do you write? Romantic Suspense
Are you published? My debut book, DEADLY CONTACT, will be released in November, 2013 by Harlequin Romantic Suspense.
Do you do anything in addition to writing? No. I mean, I do things outside of writing, but they aren't writing-related. I couldn't design a cover to save my life (I had enough trouble with the bookmarks!). As for editing... I grade papers, does that count? :)
Where can people connect with you? Lots of places--come join me!
Twitter: @LaraLacombe
Is there anything else you’d like us to know? Thanks again to Melissa for organizing this! I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and finding new blogs to follow.
Thanks for stopping by!
Whoa. David Hussy wants you to take out a loan! LOL.
ReplyDeleteLara...I've added you to all our mutual venues and look forward to getting to know you even better as we cross paths in the world writerly web.
M.L. Swift, Writer
Gotta love those spammers! Thanks for adding me--I will return the favor once I get home from work tonight! :)
DeleteThanks for participating, Lara. I can't believe I wasn't following you before! But, hey, that's what Follow Fest is all about. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Melissa! This is a fun hop! :)
DeleteDavid seems very intense about that whole loan business. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteAnd as a former English teacher, I absolutely think grading papers counts.
Yeah, spammers are getting craftier and craftier these days...
DeleteHarlequin? Nice. I have a space opera currently under consideration with them. Following you on Twitter, FB, Goodreads, and I "liked" your Amazon page.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Milo! I will do the same once I get home from work tonight.
DeleteI hope you hear good news on your submission soon!
Who doesn't love romantic suspense? And the book release is so soon! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you!

ReplyDeleteSounds like we have something in common--I teach Biology and Microbiology at the local college :)
DeleteHello, Lara. I've followed you everywhere, now. That sounds stalkerish, doesn't it. November is right around the corner you must be sooo excited!
ReplyDeleteNot stalkerish at all! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI like your tagline! I had a lot of trouble making my bookmarks, too... until I asked for help from my tech-savvy brother.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a tech-savvy brother! I definitely need to make a tech-savvy friend, at the very least! :)

DeleteHey, Lara. I'll look up your romantic suspense. I have one for free, a Kindle edition on Amazon till midnight. But don't worry, the PDF on GR is still available. A Price for Love, with the books edition titled Ariel's Cottage. It was an LCCN thing that made it end up as two with different titles and covers. Check it out. I'm going to look yours up.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Judith! I'm off to check out your book! :)
DeleteHi Lara - just stopping by at last to say hi on your FF post. Congrats on your pending book publication - that's awesome news! :)
