I am so thrilled. Valentino, the last book in the Holiday Series, is now available worldwide on Amazon. It took me two years of research to complete this novel and what a joy it was. I was also never so happy as to type, The End, in all my life. lol
Thank you to all who joined me on this journey.

I was so thrilled when I was asked if I would do an interview with Tom Dever for The Script Lab in LA. The interview concerned my success at this year’s New Media Film Festival with the pilot script for Gumboots. I am going to be starting to write the follow up story, The Dastardly Mister Deeds, shortly. Here is the link to the interview: https://thescriptlab.com/features/main/8712-new-media-festival-finalist-laura-hesse-interview/
Going to break out the wine tonight. Just completed the first draft of Valentino. It has been a two year labour of love. Woot! Woot!
Check it out.
Whe
n I saw this cover, I just had to purchase it from the artist, Autumn Sky. It screamed Betty Bruce and Gertrude. Gosh, I love that pig. As soon as I complete Valentino within the next 3 weeks, I will be starting work on the second book in the Gumboot & Gumshoes Series – The Dastardly Mr Deeds.
Go, Gertrude!
Thanks to all those who left reviews on Audible on the new audio book of A Filly Called Easter, narrated by Leslie Howard:

I only regret not coming across this before Easter, so I could listen to it on the holiday.
This was a family-friendly story, very fun and inspiring. I am more of a cat person, but horses are so amazing and have always fascinated me. I wish I had grown up around these majestic creatures!
Being a short book, I finished it in one sitting. The story flows in a pleasant manner and advances quickly, so I believe children and teens can benefit from it without getting bored!
Leslie Howard was a pleasure to listen to, she speaks clearly and voices her characters really well.
Thank you Laura Hesse for the wonderful story!

This is not my genre, but I really enjoyed the writing and story. If you love stories of horses, this book is for you!
The narrator did a great job, a little slow at times but her voice fit the story well.
The ending dragged a little, but not too much.

I received this book for free in audiobook form, in exchange for an honest review.
That said, this book was sweet. I was honestly not sure I wanted to listen to it, but my friends and I are in a book club… so…
Anyway, everything was realistic, well written and well read. I ended up liking all the characters and liked how the story progressed.
The “tornado” scenario seemed a little unlikely, but aside from that everything else sounded good.
The narrator did a fine job. I have heard her narrate some other books and she stuck in my mind because she did a good job. She talks a little slow for some, but it works for me.
In the end, a sweet story, good people, realistic setting and a sweet ending.
