Video Trailer: Laura B. Clark’s Everything You Are (Jukebox Heroes 3)

Everything You Are (Jukebox Heroes 3)

by Laura B. Clark

Between playing in a travelling band, learning to control his newly re-emerging psychic powers, and seeking the truth behind a vision sent to him by a fellow Practitioner, London has little time for romance. And while London’s busy being fabulous, Elizabeth’s singing the hometown blues. She’s left behind everything she knows – her friends, her apartment, her school, and her therapist – to take a job in a new city.

Faced with a string of lonely nights and the unexpected attentions of a living cliché – Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome – Elizabeth starts to wonder: is love really all you need, or are there times when love just isn’t enough?

This title is available from Smashwords and Amazon.

Revenge of Frankenstein

Frankenstein is a writer’s game wherein a story is composed of sentences contributed by different authors. We play this game a lot in Book Junkies, and everyone has a lot of fun with it.

One note though: PG-13 type blog—keep it clever but clean.

Prompt sentence:

Cutting through the graveyard made perfect sense to Evan and Molly at the time.

You might get murdered or put in jail, but life is about risk. I don’t like risk, so I freelance. If you’re a pussy like me, you might want to consider it.
