New Release from K.M. Fawcett
Congratulations to LSF Writers Member K.M. Fawcett on her new release WILDE IN LOVE. WILDE IN LOVE is part of a shared world series with two other authors in which they write in the same small town of Candlewood Falls, NJ and their characters show up in each other’s books! It’s like a literary soap opera.
Can a bad boy and a good girl overcome their fears to find true love?
Bridesmaid and romance writer Brielle Wilde is determined to win her crush’s heart at an adventure wedding. But when a panic attack forces Brielle to flee the first activity, she engages the help of the most fearless person she knows—widower Luke Sheridan, the bride’s reckless and sexy older brother.
Taking risks is easy for stuntman Luke Sheridan…except when it comes to his heart. When he agrees to coach sweet, quirky, and tempting-as-hell Brielle through the adventure activities, she sparks a desire he never imagined he’d feel again. But how can he open his heart when it’s sealed tight from guilt over his wife’s death?
Can Luke find the courage to admit his love to Brielle before she wins the heart of another man?

New Release from Eileen F. Watkins
Congrats to LSF Writers Member Eileen F. Watkins on her new release Night of the Were-Cat, A Cat Groomer Mystery. Here’s a little blurb for you!
Autumn brings a chill to the small town of Chadwick, New Jersey, as expert cat groomer and amateur sleuth Cassie McGlone tries to unmask a drug-peddling killer. When one of her customers brings in Quentin, a Maine Coon who looks more wolf than feline, Cassie gets an idea. The owner of Chadwick’s retro movie theater wants to promote an upcoming werewolf movie marathon for Halloween, so she suggests a werewolf lookalike contest for non-canine pets. But the scares get more serious when a thief steals anesthetics from the clinic where Cassie’s veterinarian boyfriend Mark works. Soon after, a young local woman dies in a drug-related incident.. To help both the clinic and the police, Cassie and Dawn go undercover on the singles scene to investigate a suspected “party drug” ring. But in this season of masks, the villain may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing—someone Cassie has come to know and trust. If her sleuthing skills aren’t up to scratch, next time the killer may put the bite on her!
“This was a gripping story that kept me turning pages. A bit darker than the average cozy, it’s a twisty and well-written mystery that kept me guessing…I was glad to catch up with the relatable and fleshed-out characters. Highly recommended!” — Goodreads Review

Blurb
Winston Young stumbles upon the Playground bookstore while looking for a birthday gift for a friend, and running into a lovely and unusual employee there makes it feel like fate. Mickey’s flamboyant dress and shy smile make him a delightful mix of elfish and vulnerable, and despite a bad relationship with a young man in the past, Winston thinks Mickey might be the boy he needs.
Mickey Jordan is used to living in a big warehouse with a bunch of artists and not very much privacy. When Winston takes him home, he knows he could get used to the kind of care Winston offers, but he’s determined to pay his own way.
Winston is still trying to find a middle ground for them when the dangerous side of Mickey’s bohemian lifestyle catches up with him. After a frantic search for Mickey and a few days in the hospital, Winston decides it’s time to make Mickey his, to be his Daddy and keep him safe, and he’s determined to make Mickey understand what Winston believes he needs. Can the free spirit and the older man find the balance they need to make a life together?
