On a happier note

Lauren's new book is out! And I had super fun with this one, guys. :D (The official announcement will go out on Lauren's mailing list in the morning.)

Dragon's-Luck-cover-300px

Here it is on Amazon!

This is the third book in a series, but it completely stands on its own ... actually better than the previous ones do. This is the one with the cruise ship shaped like a giant floating sphinx!

Two people with secrets on a cruise ship full of enemies ...

Jen Cho is a gecko shifter and infiltration expert for the Shifter Crimes Bureau. But this time she's in over her head—out of touch with her handler and head over heels for a sexy gambler who mistakenly thinks she's as much of a bad girl as he's a bad boy.

Ambrose "Lucky" Lucado has been playing in high-stakes games of chance since he was big enough to see over the table. But the sexy lizard shifter has a secret: he's not a lizard at all. He's a dragon, the rarest of all shifters, thought to be nothing more than a legend. And all dragons have special abilities that other shifters don't. Lucky can "push" his luck just a tiny bit, enough to ensure that he always wins at the gambling tables.

The problem is, the rest of Lucky's family have powers of their own. His much more powerful cousin Angel can twist people’s minds, making them do whatever he wants, from forgetting they’ve seen him to shooting themselves in the head. And now he’s set his sights on Jen.

Is "Lucky" Lucado lucky enough to protect both of them?



And if you'd like to read it and want me to send you a copy, just send me an email at laureneskerwriter at gmail and I will happily do so.

So I take it you're fine having Lauren and Sholio connected, at least as far as DW spaces go?

Nice front cover illustration, and nice back cover copy! Very enticing, both!

They called to my mind C.E. Murphy's "Old Races" stories (aka her spin-off anthology series from her serial-numbers-filed-off Gargoyles trilogy).

I enjoyed this a lot! Jen Cho is great. Not only dragon shifters, but shifters who can choose whatever kind of dragon shape they want - very convenient. Plus we meet Interpol, and there's a secret organization out there trying to kill all shifters. (Do they really all go around wearing the same flowers? Seems like a serious security flaw.)
The preview for the next one looks great too :)

Rachel just reviewed this, and I looked at the beginning on Amazon and it was great. Sold! (Jen is awesome. I love that you made her a gecko.)
