The latest writing has been published - through a Chicago publishing house, my short story picked up last year and now part of this anthology. It made it to #1 in Amazon new releases the day it was released and will be available in bookstores (paperback and hardcover). The authors include award-winning professional writers, producers, actors, and playwrights and I was honored to be selected to be part of it. All royalties on my part will go to the animal rescue groups, as always.
The book is a collection of stories that capture love in its many forms, not just that of romantic partners, but of children, parents, animals, friends, and passionate interests. The theme spoke to me, as it did to the authors within this work, as we recall first loves, lost loves, pets, family members, and that crazy time we ignored all reason and did the impossible
Praise on my story "Letting Go", so far (from authors and professional book critics)
""L. B. Johnson’s prose is glorious. Her words put you right there—in the place and in the head of the narrator—as well as any author I’ve read.""A beautiful, heartfelt, masterful story."
"What a rich, rich voice. Johnson’s writing is lush and lancing at the same time, a feast of metaphors and aches. It leaves you completed, but it doesn’t leave you."
"Gorgeous. An absolute heartache."
I think it would make a great Valentine's Gift, (that's a clue by four, as my husband would say).
