Well, it's time. With my latest novella out from   Alien Buddha Press   and so many literary magazines around the world publishing my flash fiction stories, I really needed to create a separate website for my fiction.  So that's exactly what I did today! If you'd like the latest news about my novels and novellas and short stories, this is the place to go! www.laurastampsfiction.blogspot.com   

Today, an excerpt from my wacky new novella IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE: CAT MANIA appeared on the beautiful book review blog, Book After Book . Many thanks to Noemi and her awesome blog for featuring my novella. She is amazing!! Enjoy this excerpt! #Extract: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE: CAT MANIA by Laura Stamps @LauraStamps16 – Book After Book  

What a great way to kick off a Saturday! Today my new novella, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE: CAT MANIA is in the "Spotlight" on the Cozy With Books Blog.  Many thanks to Esther and her fantastic book review blog for this honor. She is such a sweet soul, so generous. Best of all, she loves the cover of this novella as much as I do. I think my ginger kitty, Jeremiah, has a future in modeling. What do you think? lol!  Spotlight: It’s All About The Ride: Cat Mania by Laura Stamps – Cozy with Books (wordpress.com)

  Here's the cover for my new novella IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE: CAT MANIA. Isn't it gorgeous?!!! The publisher and I have worked like crazy the last two weeks on final edits, text layout, and the cover design (which includes blurbs for the back cover). And now it's finished.  Since the novella is about a cat rescue lady, we felt there should be a cat on the cover. I sent him pics of my cats as possible models, and he chose this one of Jeremiah. I absolutely LOVE all the psychedelic colors he used, don't you?  And the back cover is fuchsia. He had no idea that's my favorite color. Amazing!  Enjoy this beautiful cover. Before you know it you'll have the book in hand. It launches in two days...September 4th! 

WOW!!!! I just received fantastic news. My novella IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE: CAT MANIA has been accepted for publication by Alien Buddha Press!!!  I'm thrilled and honored to be a member of the ABP family of authors now. It's a fabulous literary small press, and much to my delight it's also located in South Carolina. What a treat!  I signed the contract today and don't know many details yet. But I do know the novella will be available on Amazon, and you'll be able to order signed copies from me. When I know more, I'll post it here.  But until then I'm celebrating!! This news truly made my year for me!!
