Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by my home on the web. I write young adult fiction, which in today's market means ... appeals to both teen and adult readers. I like the sound of that! So whether you're passing through or staying to check out more about me or my work, I'm glad you're here to view my debut novel ...
Altered
~~Publisher's BEST SELER in 2011~~
a young adult paranormal romance mystery novel by Laura Burks
Hearing her name started it all...
All eighteen-year-old Jenna wants to do is have a slow paced and predictable summer in the small town of New Roads with her grandfather. But on Friday the thirteenth, the unpredictable occurs when she mysteriously hears a voice leading her to a buried book. Jenna is unaware that a secret curse lies within and she's just unleashed its hold.
As writings appear in the book strangely matching her vivid dreams, Jenna's curious nature takes over pulling her deeper into the mystery and the connection to her family. What she didn't expect to find was a forbidden love and a choice to save a life.
Will Jenna's choice remain a secret? Or did the secret choose her?
