4.14.13 Facebook…AGAIN

It turns out I AM on Facebook, whether I like it or not!

Apparently Facebook will not be placated until there is a Laura Kinsale author page, so they made one.  It has 500+ followers and I don’t have access to it.  Lovely.  So I’ve created my own “Official” Laura Kinsale Author Page. I hope if you’ve been following the fake one, you’ll abandon it and come on over The Real Thing!

4.27.10 New re-issue of UNCERTAIN MAGIC

I wrote a paranormal before paranormal was cool...

Back in 1987, long before Harry Potter, vampires, werewolves and magic took over genre fiction, I wrote a novel about a heroine who could hear the thoughts of every living thing around her.  She felt cursed by this burden, and leapt at the chance to marry the Devil Earl and escape it.

2.22.10 Laura Kinsale is (not) on Facebook

The fake Laura Kinsale page was removed

2013 Update: I was forced into creating an “official” author page because FB or someone else created some hokey LK author page that I can’t access.  So mine is here at Laura Kinsale
You will know by a photo of Ventoux the Pyrenees Peter Pan on it that it’s the real thing.

GENRE: HISTORICAL: The Invention of Romance

Shakespeare was once accused of inventing humanity with his depiction of honor and love, of our higher selves and gloriously tragic ends; and it would be easy to accuse romance authors of a similar feat. Did we invent romance where it didn’t exist, or amplify the already present elements in history and humanity? We’ll talk about how authors push to make sure that the myth of happily ever after is too real to be denied — no matter the time period!
