Instagram Travels
A quick message to let you know that I will be experimenting with Instagram this year. I am going to be traveling a LOT, in fact have already started, so I wanted to play around with the multimodal storytelling possibilities and just share some of what I’m seeing. (Or as my teen said ironically when I described it that way: “You mean post?” “Yes, but it IS multimodal storytelling, and it’s really

friends can never count on you being there the next time
they need you, the place they leave for you might be very
small. That’s self-defense. If you abandon people—even if it’s
not your fault—they will eventually get over you and find

to. I wish you wouldn’t underestimate your ability to make

“She loved sinking into her bed on evenings like this, but apparently she shouldn't, because it worried her aunts, who thought she ought to be out dancing. It worried her a little bit, too, because what if they were right, and because sometimes a great loneliness welled up in her and threatened all the dams she built to hold it back. You couldn't cure loneliness by wallowing in it, up above the world, on an island removed from everything. She knew that. But she had such a hard time with all the cures. They seemed rough and brusque and brutal, as if they abused her skin with a pot scrubber . . . forcing herself into a mass of people, a stranger among strangers. . . . But it was much more tempting to curl up with a book under her thick white comforter.
Still, sometimes after she curled up, she regretted her lack of courage and felt bleakly lonely.
It was important to have a really good book.”

“She had to lift both hands to illustrate what she meant, but he just let her carry his hand with her, not about to let go. She pushed the free hand toward the one he held, apparently trying to gesture closeness. "Warm," she said again. And then she did something that undid him to the last faint whisper of his soul: she gave his hand a squeeze with fingertips that could just barely reach around his, apparently using him to indicate what she wanted to say. He meant warmth. He meant this word she couldn't find.”

“To be a man was to be responsible. It was as simple as that. To be a man was to build something, to try to make the world about him a bit easier to live in for himself and those who followed.
You could sneer at that, you could scoff, you could refuse to acknowledge it, but when it came right down to it, Conn decided it was the man who planted a tree, dug a well, or graded a road who mattered.”

Thank you so much for your wonderful message! This makes me very happy. I'm really glad you're enjoying them, and it makes my day to hear it, so thank you for writing.
For the Chocolate series...All For You launched a spin-off of that series. That makes it a little more "wieldy" for me, since I don't have the rights to all of the original series. And I would like to do a spin-off series from The Chocolate Kiss but we will see how that goes. I'm deep in La Vie en Roses right now.
Thanks again for writing! <3

Dear Laura,I absolutely devoured all your books in two weeks (my boss does not thank you haha). I loved every single of them, some more (Patrick!!) than others. I can't really say that many authors have been able to write series wherein each book, hero and heroine, is refreshingly original and absolutely beautiful. The way you can capture Paris, chocolats and perfume scents. Mon Dieu!! I love, absolutely am in love, with your descriptions. So thank you so much. I am having the blues after reading it all and am wondering if you will continue the chocolate series. I would love a prologue for all of them (Patrick!!!).
Well, once again (sorry for all the gushing) thank you for your wonderful writing. You have another fan in me!
Greetings,
Maddevi

Ha, according to Sylvain, *nobody's* chocolate is as good as his, so you have to do the best you can. :)
