Hi, I'm Lasairiona and I'm a recovering pantser.

So many people ask me about my writing process that I thought I'd share it with you today. I'd love to say I have a super strict and productive writing process, but my friends would call BS and I couldn't hit the 'send' button if I told a lie like that!

For those of you who don't know, the author world is generally divided into plotters (those who plan their books/series) and pantsers (those who fly by the seat of their pants) - there's a sliding scale, some do a hybrid thing, where they plot the over arching bits and pants the rest, some are hardcore one way or the other...

I used to be a pantser - 100% When I wrote Intimate Strangers, I had no intention of it becoming a series, let alone a series of series... so when I started, I had no plan. But by the time I'd written AJ's series, I realized there was a LOT going on that needed to be kept track of - especially when my readers asked for Jeremy's story. So I started plotting.

It's painful and I don't like to talk about it, but it makes my books better and that's all anyone really cares about. Just don't tell my friend Clare that I'm admitting she might, maybe, possibly, kinda, sorta be close to right - she gloats.

I plot, I write, I send to a blind beta who tells me bits that don't make sense, I re-write, I send to a couple more betas, I fix it up again and I send it to my frienditor who tears it apart for me to put it back together, and then I ship it out to my ARCS.

Who has questions? Is there something you've always wanted to know about being an indie author? If so, pop your question in an email and send it back to me, I'm only too happy to answer!

Okay, okay, I've made you wait for long enough... y'all wanted to meet Linc after meeting Cleo last time, so here you go...

Don't forget to shelve Two for Interference on your TBR pile... hoping to get the cover soon and it'll be pre-order time before you know it!

Until next time,

Have you joined my reader group yet? If not, then head over to: Margaritas, Men and Mischief with Lasairiona. As the name suggests, it's a place for my readers to chat about all things romance - with a healthy dose of sarcasm, sharp wit, conversations comprised entirely of GIFs, sneak peeks, giveaways and a plethora of memes. It's one of my absolute favorite places on the internet and I'm really enjoying getting to know readers that bit better over there. Don't be shy - we don't bite... much! Come on over!

Intimate Strangers

Is there such a thing as too perfect?

Lisa Millar wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a guy on the Internet. But she did. Other than living over five thousand miles away in America, AJ Williams is seemingly her perfect match. Strikingly handsome, musically talented, plays hockey and has a typical college-guy life. In a moment of carpe diem, Lisa flies from Ireland to Alabama to surprise her internet-beau and finds herself face to face with an inconceivable reality that she couldn’t possibly have prepared for. How well can you truly know someone you meet online?

Will true love win out, or will AJ’s secret life be too much for Lisa to bear?

Game Changer

AJ Williams wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a girl on the internet. But he did.

Other than living over five thousand miles away in Northern Ireland, Lisa Millar is seemingly his perfect match. AJ can’t quite believe his luck, not only is she beautiful, but she has an appreciation for both music and hockey - two of his favorite things.

Surprised by Lisa turning up unannounced in Alabama, AJ is under pressure to deal with the issue at hand.

Should he risk losing her, come clean and tell her the truth?

Or should he try to keep his secret under wraps?

Will true love win out? Or will AJ’s secret be too much for Lisa to bear?

Four Letter Feelings

Jeremy Lewis has just returned from a year in Europe, ready to start college in Alabama and pursue his dream career in the National Hockey League. Other than boring school work, he’s eager to play hockey, hang out with his new teammates and maybe even rekindle an old flame when Chelsea Davis unexpectedly reappears in his life.

Life is looking pretty darn peachy.

But when his world is turned upside down by a tragic loss, merely surviving each day feels like an achievement. How can he get through college and keep his budding career on track when all he wants to do is drink and squander his parent’s fortune? Can he convince Chelsea he’s a changed man when he seems so intent on his own destruction?
