Chasing Santa has a new ending

/ runningl / Leave a comment

Based on reviews, I decided to change the ending to Chasing Santa. Originally I planned a free novella to complete the series based on the little girl character, Sam Nicolas. Unfortunately I had a series of strokes and it has taken me a couple of years to recover so I never got the chance to write it. I am finally starting to write again so I incorporated my notes for the novella into the new ending of Chasing Santa, the last book in The Gumboot and Gumshoes Series. If you are a Kindle+ Amazon reader, it is free. If you purchased a copy and didn’t read the book on Kindle Unlimited, contact me and I will make sure you get a copy of the new ending.

You can find the book on Amazon here.

I wrote the lyrics to this song based on the book, The Red Princess-The Quest for Atlantis. It’s a children’s short bedtime story that I thought would be fun to turn into a video and a song. My step-daughter was dancing around to it. I jigged a little be too.

I am so thrilled by how Against the Storm came out. It so captures the feeling and courage of Maddie and August as they fight to survive after being shipwrecked on a desolate island. My work mostly. AI via Sounder for music generation and production. I hope to record it myself in the future. Enjoy!

Rising Above: One Frosty Christmas – a song of Redemption & Inspiration

/ runningl / Leave a comment

I was recovering from major surgery when I wrote first a poem, then a short story, and then the novel. At the same time, I lost my father to cancer and dedicated One Frosty Christmas to him. This book is a saga of loss, redemption, love and friendship. The song brought tears to my eyes when I typed in some of the lyrics and Hannah and Frosty’s story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do… don’t cry as much though.

Independence – a western teen romance/adventure

It’s a sizzling summer read but I think the poem I wrote for the book, then used Songer to turn it into a country tune called Heat of the Summer is also sizzling. I’m looking forward to recording it with my partner. Life goal: sing and write more. I hope you enjoy the listen. https://www.tiktok.com/@laurahesse305/video/7689903635538414866

Out of my funk and releasing songs: Easter & Pumpkin Ride

/ runningl / Leave a comment

After a series of strokes over the last two years and a couple of heart attacks, I’m finally back on track. I’m starting some new novels and have just released a few songs based on The Holiday Series of middle grade stories with some help from AI – art by Artistry and mix/melody by Sounder. Writers content is mine. I hope to re-release the songs with me singing and my partner playing and producing. That part is still in the works.

I haven’t been an AI supporter in the past but my mind isn’t so sharp anymore after the strokes and AI helps me organize my thoughts and stay focused.
