Lara Lacombe's Blog

It's been far too long since I've posted on this sadly neglected blog.  A lot of things have changed since my last entry--Bub was born in October, I had a book come out this March, and I have another book due out in September!  Here's the cover and blurb, if you're interested:

Can they stay one step ahead of a serial killer?

A Rangers of Big Bend thriller

FBI profiler Rebecca Wade is used to tough, gruesome cases. But a serial killer targeting women in Big Bend National Park gets under...

Dear Toby Cat,

When I get up early, it's because I'd like to write without interruption.  I want to spend a little time getting my words in for the day before Little Roo wakes up and I have to turn into 'Mom'.  It's not that I don't love being Mom, but it can be hard to give Doodlebug the attention she deserves and write at the same time.  This is my solution.  Plus, if I'm able to make my word count in this morning writing session, I can actually spend some time with Miste...

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all had a nice week.

Lots of activity here this week.  Little Roo started school on Tuesday.  She's going 3 mornings a week, and it has been hard for me to let her go.  She's never been away from me or her dad or grandma before, and it's tough to leave her with strangers.  I know this is what is best for her, and I know it won't take long before we all adjust, but right now I'm probably having more trouble than she is with the change....

Happy Friday everyone!  I know it's been a while since I've posted, and I'm sorry to have fallen off the wagon of this hop.  Please take me back! :)

I have a confession to make.  I turned in my last book on February 15, and I haven't really written anything since then.  Oh, I wrote a proposal for a new series, but that's about it.  I normally take a week off after turning in a book, but this time life got in the way.  I got really sick (wound up in the ER for dehy...

Just popping in to say that I have a giveaway running on Goodreads right now for my May release, Pregnant by the Colton Cowboy!  Head on over and enter for your chance to win!

Here's the back cover blurb:

A cowboy puts his life on the line for the woman expecting his child in The Coltons of Shadow Creek! 

Determined to steer clear of the horrors his villainous mother brought on his family, rancher Thorne Colton keeps to himself. That means resisting Maggie Lowell. The last time he succ...

Happy Friday!  It's been a pretty standard week here, but I'm glad we've made it to Friday.  We don't really have any big weekend plans--we're having a game lunch with friends on Sunday, which is always fun.  I recently bought the game Organ Attack and have been looking forward to trying it out.
In other news, I finally got the official cover for my July release (Her Lieutenant Protector) and just bought new bookmarks and excerpt brochures that I'm going to take to the Desert Dr...

Hello, everyone!  It's my birthday--woo hoo!  Unfortunately, I have to work today (ugh, adulting!) but I'm looking forward to dinner tonight and frozen custard for dessert.  My Mom wanted to make me a birthday cake, but I'm trying to cut back on my sugar and I know if I have a cake in my fridge I will eat it all.  I'd hate to waste food, you know. ;)

We have a busy weekend planned.  I'm getting my nails done with Mom on Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night Mister and...

Hello, everyone!  When I last posted two weeks ago, Mister and I had planned to go see a movie to celebrate his birthday.  Things did not go quite as planned.  We had just sat down at the restaurant when my Mom called with the news that Little Roo was throwing up.  Needless to say, we canceled our plans and rushed home.  Fortunately, she made a fast recovery.  I wish I could say the same.  I managed to come down with a stomach bug, and I got so dehydrated I...

Welcome, Friday!  Good to see you again! :)

This week, I'm celebrating Mister's birthday.  He turned *mumblemumble* on the 16th.  He had to work that day (part of the curse of being an adult), but I made his favorite dinner and we are going out to lunch and to see a movie on Sunday, so that will be fun.

Mom and I are going to get our nails done on Saturday afternoon.  I always enjoy getting to spend time with her, and it's nice to have pretty hands as well. I'm still debatin...

Happy Friday!  I had a pretty standard week--what about you?  We have a healthy to-do list to tackle this weekend, but it will be nice to check things off as we go.  There's something so satisfying about crossing items off a list, don't you think?

I wanted to let you know that in honor of Goodreads Romance Week, I'm participating in the Harlequin Secret Valentine campaign!  Enter to win a copy of my book, Dr. Do or Die, plus one of my favorite romances!  Here's the lin...
