Here's an excerpt from Shifting Forms For Clumsy Shifters - which I hope is as fun as the title makes it sound! Krissi and Jeremy are already proving to be a lot of fun, and even more so now Krissi seems to have made herself a friend!   *** Copyright 2022 Laura Greenwood, subject to change. *** "Krissi!" someone calls before she's able to say anything else. I turn to see Jeremy jogging towards me in his practice gear. "Hey, I didn't realise you were practising now," I say. "Every Monday evening so we're as ready as we can be for Wednesday's game. I see you're doing the same." "Yes, though I think we're cheering for the basketball team this week." I glance at Grace, but she just nods. "Ah, that's a shame. I know I'll play better with you cheering from the sidelines." He grins, lighting up his face and giving him a boyish glow. "I bet you say that to all the cheerleaders," I quip. "Not so...

This week's excerpt is from Bite Of The Past, book one of the on-going Black Fan series (books 1-3 are out now!) it follows 500-ish-year-old vampires, Catherine and Benedict, as they find love for a second time after being separated during the events of the First Bite prequel (which you can find for free on my website). Bite Of The Past has a HEA and a second chance romance! *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood *** I pick up one of the empty goblets, only to set it back down again when the sound of the front door calls my attention. Before I even manage to make my way through to the reception, Sonia's bright and chirpy voice cuts through the silence. "Good evening, sir, how can I help you?" The man coughs, and I hear the shifting of cloth. He's uncomfortable, then. Perhaps it's his first time visiting an establishment like this. "I've come to make an appointment," he says. I freeze behind the thick velvet curtain which separates the two rooms, reco...

  Don't forget to visit our amazing host, Once Upon 2022 ! Welcome! Hello and welcome! If you're new to me, then hi! I'm Laura Greenwood, and I write lots of different things, mostly with a paranormal or fantasy twist. But today I'm going to be focusing on my fantasy fairy tale retellings!   I have lots of fun planned with some games, quizzes, and freebies! And this page will serve as a directory to them, so make sure you check it all out!  About Me I love to write - which might be obvious, but I like to say it anyway! And I love fairy tales. My favourite is Rapunzel (Disney's Tangled is one of my favourites when I'm having a bad day!), though oddly I've written more retellings of Snow White (I'm not even sure why!) I love French macarons, drink a lot of tea, and love learning about Egyptology in my spare time (though sadly I won't be talking about many of my Egyptian themed books today, though  one of them  is inspired by the original version of Ci...

How about a little look at my upcoming vampire romance, Bite Of The Guard! Most of the time, I work on one book at once, but sometimes a snippet of conversation (or a whole chapter) for a different book will come to me at the weirdest time and I'll have to write it before it disappears completely - this is one of those! I wrote this part back in August before book 3 in the series even launched! Read on for a teaser of when Beatrice & Damien meet for the first time! *** Copyright 2022 Laura Greenwood Subject to change. *** The bell above the door tinkles as someone pushes through and makes their way into the reception area. I straighten my spine and put on my best smile. I'm not used to working on the front desk, but Sonia needs the night off to do an errand for Catherine, so here I am. "Good evening, welcome to the Black Fan," I say as brightly as possible. I don't recognise the man standing in front of me, but that doesn't say much. I only pay attention t...

This week's excerpt is from The Necromancer's Prey, book 3 of the almost complete Paranormal Council series (books 1-14 are out now!) It follows Alden (an owl shifter) and Rory (a necromancer) as they discover they're fated mates. If you've ever wondered where the problems for the necromances in the Paranormal Council started, this is where! *** Copyright 2017 Laura Greenwood *** "Aurora," the voice said, sending shivers down Rory's spine. Just like it always did. It didn't help that whenever she had a meeting with her necromancer liaison, it always seemed to be at night, and somewhere dark and gloomy. It was as if he was trying to conform to stereotypes. She wasn't even sure where the guy she was meeting was, with all the echoing under the bridge. "Hello?" she asked tentatively. "Any updates for us, Aurora?" She shivered again, hating the way that he said her name. Besides that, no one called her Aurora. Not since she was a lit...

(Only one teeny tiny spoiler) *** Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood *** I stiffle a yawn and turn my attention to the body in front of me. This should be a straight forward partial mummification, but I just can't seem to focus for long enough to start to process. "Have a good date last night?" Nik asks with a smug grin. "It was a nice night." "But a late one?" He waggles his eyebrows suggestively. "Yes, but not like you're thinking." "So how long is it until we're going to have to call you Princess Ani?" There's something off about his voice, but I can't put my finger on what's causing it. "Are you jealous, Nik? Do you want to be the girl on Ramesses' arm?" I ask as sweetly as I can manage. Surprise flashes over his features. Apparently, he hadn't expected that question. Click here to continue reading Initiate Of The Jackal! or Click here to start the series with Apprentice Of The Dead!
