Obsessed with Her…Countdown to Release, 55 Days!

October 31, 2017- It’s official, there are 55 days until the release of my newest book, Obsessed with Her. This is definitely not a book for kids, but is a psychological thriller for grown-ups! We’ve got to have our own fun, right?

Obsessed with Her has been in the works for a year and so much has gone into it. I’ve had tons of help along the way from some exceptional consultants, including my Beta Group readers and the wonderful officers from the Toronto Homicide Unit. There are so many people to thank and acknowledge for allowing this book to come to life!

I’ve decided to write this book, and all of my thrillers going forward, under the pen name, L.L. Colling but rest assured, it’s still me. Sometimes authors like to separate their works and genres by writing under a pen name, and I’ve decided to do the same.

I’ll keep you posted on any developments such as a potential pre-release and any other exciting info that will be coming up in the weeks that follow.

Just in Time for Halloween…Next Year:) Super Special Collector’s Edition!

October 30, 2017- I know that Halloween isn’t until tomorrow, but I thought that I’d share some fun news from Pandamonium Publishing House! Next year, just in time for Halloween, The Adventures of Milan and Friends (Trouble with Trolls) will be published. This book will be available for A LIMITED TIME in a LIMITED QUANTITY as a COLLECTOR’S EDITION to celebrate my favourite time of year! Be sure to get your copy and feel free to contact me if you’d like to go on a pre-release list.

This children’s picture book is geared towards children in the age range of 3-5+ and will be available in major bookstores as well as online through Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.

Stay tuned for sketches, later next summer, as well as sneak peeks behind the scenes of character development and illustration. I’ll also be releasing some information about each character and what the inspiration is behind it!

Thank you so much to each and every person who continues to support my work and who make it possible for me to do what I love. Without you all, there would be no point.

XO LB

Unfrogged! It’s Finally Here!

July 3, 2017-Well friends, this weekend was wonderful in so many ways. Not only was it Canada Day on July the first but I’m happy to announce that Pandamonium Publishing House along with a very talented author, successfully launched Unfrogged by Tamara Botting. Unfrogged is a middle-grade novel that is based on a fairytale, but I must say that I like this version a whole lot better! Princess Meredith is the definition of anti-princess, and that’s just one of the things that make her so relatable.

Here is a picture from the weekend of author Tamara Botting with her novel, Unfrogged for the very first time. Way to go Tamara! Unfrogged will be available in stores such as Coles, Indigo, and Chapters as well as Amazon this coming week.
