Excerpt: No Stakes Allowed (Grimalkin Academy: Stakes #1)

Image
Lily and Bryce's first meeting was such a fun one to write - and I loved how their romance progressed after that and how they both helped each other come to terms with their pasts. The Grimalkin Academy: Stakes series is complete! Read on for an excerpt! ~~~ Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood ~~~ The lock clicks and the door swings open and Ashryn steps in with a tall, dark-haired vampire behind her. At least, I assume he's a vampire. Despite what the guild tried to tell us our entire lives, it isn't easy to tell vampires apart from humans, so long as they're not sucking blood or something like that. I stand against the back wall, not moving or saying anything. I'm not usually the tongue-tied type, but this is a special circumstance. "This mouse killed how many of our kind?" the male vampire sneers. I glare at him. "More than you can count," I respond smoothly. Ashryn smothers a smile. She may be a vampire now, but she started out as a hunter and I...

Excerpt: Shadow Seer (Scythe Grove Academy #1)

Image
Syxe was so much fun to write, especially as she had no idea she was a reaper (even if she could see ghosts!) I loved getting to explore Scythe Grove Academy alongside her and getting to know Mathias, Juliet, and Tobias. The series is complete and you can read on for an excerpt! ~~~ Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood ~~~ "Syxe Weston?" a guy asks as he walks towards me. Ah. It seems the headmistress has sent someone to find me. I appreciate that, it saves me a task. "Yes?" "I'm Mathias, Headmistress Shaw has asked me to meet you and bring you to her office." "Hi." I resist the urge to wave at him. "Hey," he responds, a genuine smile spreading over his face. He's handsome. Probably my age, though perhaps a year older. "Are you a student here?" I ask as the two of us start walking. "Yes. I started at the beginning of the year." "Do you like it here?" I'm not sure what the point in asking is. It's ...

Egyptian Mythology Based Books

Image
  I've had a fascination with Egyptology since I was a kid and my Dad showed me the Mummy films way earlier than he should have done (I don't blame him, for one, his crush on Rachel Weisz is 100% justified, and for two, the films are awesome). And that has spilt over into my writing in a big way - here's how! THE FORGOTTEN GODS UNIVERSE Forgotten Gods (book one, Protectors of Poison, is FREE! And you can get Lioness Of Karnak free exclusively from my website ): a modern fantasy romance series featuring Egyptian gods & goddesses, each book can be read as a standalone but the characters do interact with one another. The Queen Of Gods (complete series): a modern fantasy romance series connected to Forgotten Gods and following Hathor and Amun as they have a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers thing going on (there's no other way to describe it!) Forgotten Gods: Origins (complete series): this is connected to the other two series but set in ancient times and follows some of t...

Excerpt: Shattered Illusions (Ashryn Barker #1)

Image
Ashryn is easily one of my most well loved and well hated heroines (she was a bit insufferable at the beginning!) If you haven't read her series, then you might recognise her from her appearances in City of Blood, Grimalkin Academy: Stakes, The Black Fan, and Grimalkin Academy: Catacombs. This is where the Obscure World began...with a vampire hunter who went into hard denial about becoming a vampire after dying in chapter 2! Read on for an excerpt!   ~~~ Copyright 2017 Laura Greenwood ~~~ Blinding pain assails me. Wait? Pain? How is that even possible? I’m dead. Or at least, I’m pretty sure I am. Having one’s blood drained tends to end that way. Particularly when the vamp gets to the stage he did with me. I shiver at the thought. Wait...shiver? Okay, so I’m guessing I’m not dead then. Huh. Strange. Maybe my brain didn’t make up my saviour. I try to open my eyes, but the light in the room burns them. It’s beyond bright, and hurts to even blink. One hundred percent not dead then. Int...

Excerpt: The Unicorn's Mane (The Paranormal Council #13)

Image
Nathalie and Derek's story has been brewing for a long time - I think I've known the basics of it since 2017, and it was so much fun to work on! Read on for a teaser! *** Copyright 2022 Laura Greenwood *** "It's not your first time on a photoshoot, is it?" Derek asked as he watched Nathalie respond to everything around them. A small smile lifted the corners of her lips. "It isn't. One of the Council member's mates is a photographer. He's shot all of us for one reason or another. Mostly because shifters are easier to deal with than wild animals. His words, not mine." "Why does he need to photograph wild animals?" "His mate is a charity spokeswoman. He helps with all that kind of thing. She actually offered to be my backup if you ended up hating me because I'm a unicorn." "I wouldn't hate you because of what you are," he responded hurriedly. Nathalie let out a light laugh. "Maybe you wouldn't, but ...

Happy Pride Month!

Image
  However you like to celebrate this month, I hope you have a good time and stay safe! I thought I'd do a quick round up of my books including explicitly LGBTQ+ characters (there are several not on the list who I haven't included because it's not explicitly said or shown on page) in case anyone wanted an LGBTQ+ read. However, if that's what you're looking for, then I would recommend hopping over to my partner's solo books. Arizona writes some amazing stories and most of them feature lesbian, bi, or pan heroines: If you like mythology, then you should check out her newest series, Queens Of Olympus which starts with Trouble In Hades , a sapphic paranormal romance inspired by the myths of Hades and Persephone. If you like academy, then you should try her complete Afterlife Academy series , which follows a valkyrie-in-training, Ylva, as she learns to navigate both Valhalla and her dragon roommate, Ryoko. If you like familiars and animals, then you should check out ...
