HI GANG!
I’m soooooo excited to share my new short story, TSAVO PRIDE. It’s a spin off based on the man-eating lions of Tsavo, so it has a decidedly horroresque bent. For those of you who read Shifting Pride, you know that the lions of Tsavo made a cameo appearance. Now, they have their own story.
Here’s a teaser trailer on YouTube:
Blurb:
Rogue shapeshifters, Santamo and Legeny, believe they are kings blessed with the power to shift into lions. Using that strength, they brutally defend their land from the British building the Ugandan Railroad that threatens their way of life. On a particularly ruthless raid, Santamo meets his match—Naserian. He spares the girl’s life, a move that fractures his relationship with Legeny and blurs his visions of cleansing his territory of invaders.
While the pile of bones in Santamo and Legeny’s cave grows, so does Santamo’s attraction to Naserian. When she challenges him to give up his murderous ways, will Santamo stay on the path of death he believes is his duty, or will he choose Naserian, and love?
TSAVO PRIDE is NOW AVAILABLE via Amazon for $0.99! Amazon Prime members can borrow it for free. 😉
Several blogging buds are helping me spread the word, so I’d like to thank them by linking to their sites. Feel free to check ’em out.
Do check out Danielle Fine’s website. She designed the cover and edited Tsavo Pride. Thanks, Danielle!
I have a special interview post on Gareth Young’s blog. It was a lot of fun to put together, so head on over to learn more about me and my writing. 😉

As a final send off, this Wednesday is another edition of the Indie Life. I’d just like to point out that I would have never attempted to self publish anything if it weren’t for this fabulous group of authors. They took the plunge into the deep, vast waters of publishing and have steered their own course to success. Thanks for being an inspiration! 😉

I’ve already left comments on a few of those sites. I really love this, Laura. The lion theme totally rocks and the cover is gorgeous. You don’t see this color palette on lots of YA stories. I love the change. Congratulations!!
Aww, thanks so much! 😉
Congrats!!!
Congratulations Laura!
So happy for you and your new release! I really do think that cover color is amazing and unique!
Despite the fact you unfollowed me on Twitter, I still posted your Tsavo Pride stuff today on my blog. That would be http://www.ptdilloway.com if you’d care to put the link up.
