About Warm Transfer:

Free for Kindle through Oct. 19!

In a luxe read with weighty questions at its center, debut novelist Laura Holtz’s Warm Transfer [May 29, 2018, Gatekeeper Press] breaks into the new media landscape forged by the #MeToo movement with a story of self-discovery, newfound joy and reinvention.

Tamsen Peel isn’t happy in her marriage. Issues ranging from the run-of-the-mill to the run-for-the-hills plague her relationship with high-powered advertising executive Victor. Amid their lavish lifestyle in the uppermost echelon of Chicago elites, Tamsen has lost her sense of identity and hope for the future. Enter an attractive and thoughtful young musician hired to give guitar lessons to the Peels’ special needs son, and Tamsen is ushered into the Warm Transfer she needed but didn’t know she wanted.

It was during a routine customer service call that Holtz learned that the act of an operator remaining on the line with their caller until that caller is successfully transferred to another agent is called a warm transfer. It immediately set her creative wheels spinning and Warm Transfer is the work that grew from that original draft. Metaphorically speaking, a warm transfer happens any time we help others find safe passage to their destination. Warm transfers move us forward, and they are at the heart of Tamsen’s journey.

Ten percent of the profits from Warm Transfer are being donated by Holtz to The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).

About More than a Reflection:

Holly Davenport is great at finding beauty in the flowers she’s surrounded by day by day, but seeing the beauty within herself proves much more challenging. For years men have looked at her with nothing but friendship on their mind, and she’s given up on ever finding someone who might love her just as she is – all 215 pounds of her.
Blake Anderson’s timing is perfect, albeit slightly embarrassing, when he is witness to Holly’s most embarrassing moment: a kiss to her not-so-pregnant belly in a very public encounter. Now Holly is determined to make a change — except chocolate is awesome, and working out … not so much. What’s a girl to do? Why fall in love of course!
Blake, along with his family and friends, will have an uphill battle to teach Holly that there’s more to her than her reflection.

About Seventeen Shades of Love:

This book is a collection of romantic, sentimental short stories.
“SEVENTEEN SHADES OF LOVE”: After her divorce Julia was able to take everything under control and to move on. She became successful and happy. There is no place for romance in her life. But is it possible to live without love?
“HOW TO BECOME A STAR”: People often ask Maddy how to become a star. She doesn’t know, she can only tell the story of her own. It begins with her happy marriage…
“A HAPPY ENDING IN A BIG CITY”: She travels from one city to another, meeting the same kind of men who always abandon her. She doesn’t know that the true love is waiting for her far, far away.
“RICHARD’S MISTAKE”: He is suspicious about his wife. She is hiding something. And then this phone number… Is she cheating on him? Richard is going to find out…
And more stories… They are nostalgic and dreamy but by no means they are fantasy or fairy tales. These romance stories center around ordinary people who are swept away by love and passion. It is all truth. Adventurous and glamorous things might happen to everyone. They happen to all of us although sometimes we just don’t realize.
“Just think of the color and vivacity that love can bring back into your life. You know, they say there are seventeen shades of love!”
“Seventeen shades?” Julia sobbed even louder. “What am I supposed to do with that?”
(A quote from the story with the same title as this book)
This book is a collaboration with artist Larissa Makeeva. Her fascinating art helps to color up the narrative and the characters in charming bright tones.

About The Butterfly Garden:

Sometimes love happens when you least expect it…

Jenny Romano has never been a white-picket-fence, happily-ever-after girl. Despite a mother who rejected her free-spirited, unique ways as irresponsible and just plain wrong, Jenny has found happiness as a photographer, flitting around the country and snapping photos of other people’s lives. Her older sister, Grace, has a husband, children, and a carpool schedule. She’s the one their mother calls “perfect.”

But when tragedy strikes her sister’s carefully constructed life, Jenny must step in and help. Soon, she’s knee-deep in small-town, suburban life, the kind she’s always avoided…

Psychologist Elliot Drake spends so much time healing other people’s pain that he prefers to keep his own relationships short and uncomplicated. He’s loved and lost once and with a young daughter to raise, he’s not willing to risk his heart again. Of course, he’s never met anyone quite like Jenny. Outrageous and unpredictable, she’s nothing like her well-controlled older sister. And the more he’s around Jenny, the more he wonders if short-term is really what he wants…

Elliot and Jenny are about to discover that real life happens whether you want it to or not. Will they let real love happen, too?
