L.H. Nicole's Blog

So if you visit my blogger page often you can clearly see it's been 13 months since I last posted here and that is mostly because I have been posting everything on social media or on my actual site.
That said I'm officially announcing that as of right now I will no longer be posting here on this blogger site. All current and future posts will be published here : Lhnicoleauthor.com Or you can find other posts on my Instagram and facebook page, as well as other social media pages. You can also click the little dragon icons right next to this post to go there as well. 
Please keep coming around and seeing what I've got goin on :) I may not have published anything recently, but that WILL change in the near future!!
Until then,<3 always L.H.

It's only a weekend away but for my people in Boston, I'll be there next week! You can come see me, say hi, bring your books to get signed, or buy books there and get them signed. This is my first signing of 2018, and  I'm ssooooooo ready to go! I have wanted to visit Boston for years, and I'm thrilled I have such a wonderful reason to go.
 Below is the link to the event page, and here's the link to buy tickets HERE, which are still available! https://fortheloveofbooksauthorevents.com/boston-2018/ 
 My Pre-Order form is still open for a few more days. Bonus of pre-ordering: discounted pricing, special swag bag & an automatic raffle entry to win a pair of Rose Gold Minnie Ears I'll have with me. It's my last pair to give away, for now, so this one's gotta count ;P

But, Boston is not my only signing this year. I have 2 confirmed, and a few more I'm working on finalizing.


I'll be joining an amazing lineup of authors in THAT state up north (Buckeye joke ;P) for a full weekend of fun including a Gods & Goddess toga party, great panels, parties and of course, the big signing!
 I'll be attending as my favorite Goddess, Artemis (who coincidentally is a major character in my coming series) and I'll be on the "What I Wish I Had Known" panel on day one! It's going to be an amazing time so I hope to see many of you at one, or both of the events!

Hey there!It's February and that's always a great month for me mostly because here are several very special dates that happen in this wonderful month. First is my Birthday :) ---Father time the only thing I'd like this year from you is maybe an extra two or three hours in the day. Can we make that happen? LOL--But most important is LEGENDARY'S birthday!!! That's right Feb 24th my first book ever published turns 3 years old!!! LEGENDARY was first published in 2014 and will always have a very special place in my heart.I've mad it no secret to everyone that my love for King Arthur legends started when I was little, and that's still true, but my real inspiration to finally put the story of Aliana, Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table to paper was the ever wonderful show MERLIN. That blessed show opened my eyes and helped me put the stories I loved into a new light and gave a voice to the characters I adore. No, there's no surprise party BUT I am putting LEGENDARY ON SALE from Feb 20- Feb 24th so if you haven't gotten yours, go get a copy or get it for a friend :)When I first started posting about Legendary I did a bunch of character profiles and sketches and I want to celebrate those first posts by adding on to one of my fav characters: the ever over protective and HOT Sir Galahad! <3I did not know from the start who Aliana would end up with, and if you haven't read A KING WILL RISE I'm not going to spoil it so don't even ask. But I remember binging MERLIN while I was writing the first scene where Aliana meets Galahad and I will never forget the scene that was on at that same moment:
In honor of this wonderful character I've added two previously deleted line grabs on my main site under the Legendary Teasers page. They are Aliana and Galahad goodness so go enjoy and wait to see what Arthur and Owen ones come next! :)Even though I no longer live in VA I will be returning for a beautiful weekend in April for the Roanoke Author Invasion where I'll join 99 other great authors for this yearly Indie book signing! I'm bringing a limited number of books so be sure to pre-order your copies if you are able to join us!The link to the form is right here -->https://goo.gl/forms/nzwTtM9WVPvYHDKQ2As a bonus for pre-ordering I will be giving special discounted prices on each book and a bundle of all 4 books that will include a very special piece of jewelry and an exclusive swag pack!To learn more about this wonderful event click the banner below and see all 100 Author attending :) <3 always LH

The giveaway is at the bottom of the post so scroll down to enter!

My Dragon senses are spiking out of control. I’ve never felt its call this strongly before. Not even in Camelot. I wish Mother were here to guide me. Even Delphina has been of little aid.  I wonder if it’s reacting to something I have yet to realize. The only thing harder than controlling my Dragon is governing my desires for Aliana. They grow stronger and stronger, almost unnaturally so. But my own struggles aren’t what is important right now. Activating the map, finding and retrieving the Grail, freeing my loyal knights, and finally ending Mordrid is. ~ArthurA KING WILL RISE is available for pre-order across all platforms!AMAZON    IBOOKS    B&N   KOBO   GOODREADSNow for all the lovely new art! And, if your itching to see the past Legendary Saga art you can go to the Legendary Saga Art page on my main site to see every piece of visual pleasure that has been put together for my series :)

I'm back again with another new teaser from A KING WILL RISE and this is a good one :D
The full teaser is on my main site, see the link below for this and the other new teaser I've launched for this week :)
Don't you just ache to know which one is saying this?


 Head over to my main site and the A KING WILL RISE teaser page to read the scene that goes with this pic and more!





The war is about to begin. Whose colors will you fly as a King rises?
Aliana, Dagg, and the New Round Table are so close. The alignment is only weeks away. All they need is to find the Grail of Power and unite the seven realms, but Mordrid is drawing ever closer and victory is far from assured.
All the bonds, questions, and betrayals will come to a head as the new Knights of the Round Table prepare for the final battle. To win, Aliana will have to do what hasn't been done in over three millennia: claim the power of the alignment and use it to either save the realms or raze them to the ground.
Join Aliana, and her family and allies, for the final installment of their Legendary quest.

It's time for another teaser featuring one of my favorite characters: Vira! If you've read RELICS OF CAMELOT then you'll know that she and Puck have a very special relationship ;P
It's one that's fascinated me since I first met Vira and she started to tell me her side of this Legendary Saga. That said, I thought I'd share a rather special teaser with you all, to highlight more of this budding relationship.
Enjoy!

     “Hey, slow down, tiger.” Aliana placed her hand over his before he could turn the knob. “I don’t want another broken door knob on our hands.” She hoped that joking with him about the first time he realized he had more than average strength would help calm him down. “You can’t just go chasing after her. Let’s find out what she’s up to first. For all we know, she’s going to find the Pixies.”
     The five Pixie sisters had made small homes for themselves in the forests because that was where Flora, Sabine, Grier, Estrelle, and Stella were most comfortable.
     “Fine,” Galahad said, opening the door and scooping Aliana up in his arms. Before she could protest, Galahad burst from the house chasing after his sister that
had already disappeared into the trees. He stopped a few seconds later, gently setting Aliana back on her feet.
     “What’s—”
     Galahad silenced her with his hand over her mouth. He pointed towards where Sophvira, dressed in jeans and a sweater, stood looking around at the trees. They were right on the edge of her property, at the edge of the barrier that protected everyone there.
     Aliana tapped Galahad’s hand. It slid away taking the pleasant tickle of the silver sparks with it. 
     He hovered over her as they moved closer, hiding behind a wide, twisting tree trunk. It felt wrong to be spying on Vira, but there was more going on with the girl than she was letting anyone know.
     “Puck?” Vira called out. She sounded excited and hopeful and so happy.
     Aliana’s eyes widened as she looked up at the white knight in surprise. He shrugged. Puck was supposed to be trapped in Oberon’s dungeons. Despite being bare chested, Galahad pulled out the dagger that she had given him months ago. A blade she had enchanted to work just for him. Not wanting to give their location away Aliana grabbed some of the power of the earth element and built a shield to keep anyone or anything from realizing they were there.
     A shadow moved on her left as little sparkles of light lit the area around Puck. “You were able to get away,” he said.
     Vira’s blue eyes glowed with the orange yellow light of the dozens of fireflies that lit up the night.
     The trickster looked no worse for wear. His somewhat gangly body was dressed in black pants with tall brown boots and a simple royal purple tunic with a wide leather belt. His shocking white blonde hair almost glowed in the magic light that accented his orange skin and silver eyes. But he also looked odd, almost exhausted.       Vira nodded, her dark brown hair falling around her shoulders. “It wasn’t easy. I think big brother would have caught me sneaking out if he hadn’t been so distracted catching Aliana coming back in the house.” 

And there you have it! Head over to my main site and the A KING WILL RISE teaser page to read more!

Hey there everyone!!
I realize I have been quite absent these last months, and I do apologize for that. It was more then moving across country and starting a new and much more intense job. I also have broken with my publisher...........I know..........What the What?!?!?!!? Right?


--Can you tell I'm in a bit of a Moana mood right now? LOL. I mean who didn't like this movie? I'm still singing the songs a week later :D--
Considering that I am no longer with my former publisher I had a tough decision to make, but ultimately I felt that I was up to the task of self publishing A KING WILL RISE.
Don't get the freak on yet.......I have been SSOOOO blessed and humbled that my former editors were able to work with me freelance to make sure my book is as shiny and wonderful as the others. Believe me when I say it was a rough process, but I truly feel A KING WILL RISE will not let you down.
I was also blessed that a good friend, and fellow author, Rebekah Ganiere was able to create my beautiful and stunning cover! I couldn't be more amazed and thrilled by the great work she put in to it.

Not that I really need to show my cover off again.......but yeah I kind of do!

I am also please to announce A KING WILL RISE is available for pre-order as of today! This final jewel will be delivered by Dagg and the Pixies on December 27th to all digital devices! Paperbacks will follow only days later :) It's across all platforms and here are the links:
