Eleven Weeks Crazy in Love #2 By Lauren K. McKellar Release Date: January 28, 2015 Synopsis Eleven weeks. Seven tequila shots. Five siblings. Two boys. One heartbeat. *** Stacey is good at pretending. She pretends that the boy she's in love with doesn't exist. She pretends that she's happy to live and die in this small town. She pretends that her life is carefree while her best friend's world crumbles before her very eyes. But Stacey's got a secret... And it's going to ruin everything. Trailer Pre-Order Excerpt We walk into the lounge room, and it really is like walking into a house for the mourning. The heavy curtains are pulled shut, casting the room in shadow. Someone—presumably Deb—has lit an incense candle, so the heady scent of lavender fills the room. It creeps down my throat, choking me, and I stop, swallow, and try to take shallow breaths. Now is not the time to throw up. On the couch is Kate. Scrunched up balls of tissue surround her, a pile of them on the floor, and a beige-coloured blanket covers her from the waist down. Her eyes are open, and she’s staring straight ahead, but she doesn’t make any move to signal she knows I’m in the room. It’s the single saddest thing I’ve ever seen. I tiptoe over to her side, clear a space in the tissue debris and sit cross-legged on the floor next to her. “Kate?” Nothing. Her eyes look straight past me, straight through me, to something I can’t see. My best friend is gone. And I don’t know if she’s coming back. Giveaway About The Author Lauren K.

The Problem With Crazy Crazy in Love #1 Author Lauren K. McKellar Available February 13, 2014 Synopsis The problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good crazy, bad crazy ... or crazy crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung about me on the radio. Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend’s band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery illness, certain to end in death. A mystery illness that she could inherit. Kate has to convince everyone around her that her father is sick, not crazy. But who will be harder to convince? Her friends? Or herself? The Problem With Crazy is a story about love and life; about overcoming obstacles, choosing to trust, and learning how to make the choices that will change your life forever. Praise for The Problem With Crazy … “Heartbreaking, life-affirming—one of my all-time favourites.” Glass Paper Ink Book Blog “This story is beautiful, heartbreaking and will leave you thinking about it for days to follow.” A.K.A. The Book Harlots Review “McKellar pushes all of your buttons as a reader.” Fab, Fun & Tantalising Reads Excerpt “Nice ass,” a deep voice said. I jumped and quickly straightened up. Heat rushed to my cheeks as my head spun from left to right, trying to identify where the noise had come from. “Sorry,” the voice came again, only this time I identified its source. A guy stepped out from behind the tree. He was tall, about six foot, with floppy brown hair, olive-toned skin and chocolate-coloured eyes, a tiny freckle marring his right cheek. A small smile was twisted on his lips, showcasing a dimple that made something twinge inside of me. “You can’t do that.” I frowned. “If you’re going to bend over in my presence I’m not allowed to compliment you?” The guy stepped forward, closer to me. “I was stretching.” I shot him what I hoped was a withering look. “And you were hiding behind a tree.” “I was relaxing behind a tree.” He stepped closer again and I saw the light dancing in his eyes. “But I do realise I might have come across a little sleazy. I meant it as a compliment. You have a great ass. Much better than some of the others I’ve seen around here.” “You do this all the time?” “Depends on what you mean by ‘this’.” “Standing behind trees, and checking out peoples asses.” Eleven Weeks Crazy in Love #2 Available January 28, 2015 Synopsis Seven shots Five siblings Two boys One heartbeat … *** Stacey is good at pretending.
