Grab it up today on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple and others. Don’t forget to tell me about what you think of it in a review!
And, if you post a review where you purchased it, then copy and post your review in the comments below. I’ll take the first ten reviewers and draw one at random to send them a FREE print copy of Infinite Enigma!
Happy reading!
I think this just might be my very favorite part of being a self-published author…eeeekkk!
Just look at her! Isn’t she gorgeous!
(Keep talkin’ as I stroke the computer screen…)
Seriously, this is probably the number one reason why I choose to keep the control over the series. This way I get to make this series everything I dreamed it would be without anyone else’s sausage-fingered hands in it.
No offense to my sausage-fingered kindred (yes, I have man-hands) but they’re very strong and purposeful!
Getting to design my own cover is so much fun. I love thinking it all up, telling it to my amazing cover artist at Sylvia Designs, and seeing the next baby to complete my family!
I truly love looking at these covers, it’s like magic…imagining something up and then seeing it created, something long, long planned.
It’s such a reward, but a very close contender to hearing what you all think about the book (good or bad!) and I love to hear details!!
It’s wonderful to be able to create something that causes emotions in others and they react to that. I can pull them into that world and they become part of that universe. What does it do to you?
Reviews are more precious to me then money. If you can take the time to write words (ratings are nice, but I want to hear your words!) Tell me everything!! You’re not just this passive lump on the couch ingesting my words…
But your mind dances with my words!
Tell me, is it this dance:
Or this one…
Okay…so I watched a lot of Seinfeld.
What happened there? I’ve side tracked from my original purpose….
Ooooohhh look at my shiny new cover!
I can’t wait to hold it in my man-hands and add it to my bookshelf! While we wait for that, and for my amazing editor to shine it up, here’s the Amazon preorder link so you can be sure that as soon as I release Infinite Enigma, you will get it!
Oh and, as always, I give my loyal readers on my mailing list a discount so from now until the release March 1st it will be $5.99 for everyone who has waited so long for book 5. But March 1st it will be $6.99, so snatch it up!
And, please, please, please if you can leave me a review they make me so happy, and, if you do enjoy it, pass it on to others!
Go! Spread the word!!
Back to work on book 6, Infinite Curse…stay tuned and go grab my two latest releases to pass the time.
Guess what my 2020 New Year’s Resolution is?To get back to committing daily to get Infinite Salvation, Book 5 published!
I know how patient you all have been and I appreciate everyone’s support. You’re all saints! Honestly, I’m so touched that you are even still thinking about the series and reaching out to me, begging for an update. So you deserve a 2020 update and game plan.
John Lennon’s quote “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans” rings true. Even though I think about the last book and my characters daily; even though I research the huge topics I have planned to tackle in book 5 incessantly; I haven’t been able to keep to any writing schedule.
One of the big reasons that I decided to self publish was because I needed to have the flexibility to write around caring for my young family. Because of unfair female biological constraints I only have this time to grow my family. I’ve now had my fifth sweet little baby and I don’t want to take any time away from fully enjoying her in these fleeting moments of childhood. I can always write later but these precious moments will not come again. However, now that my little girl is seven months old, I do feel like it’s time to plan at least an hour commited to actually writing each day. I’m not going to set a release date or over promise but I will start to stick to at least one hour a day.
Originally, I had a clear plan of how this series would end but God had something else in store. Luckily my reader base is highly spiritual so you might believe that I had an amazing spiritual intervention to get a specific unplanned message out. It did throw me for a life changing loop and I had to go within myself for serious introspection and dive into fathoms of endless research. It might throw all my readers for a loop too so I had to think about these changes for awhile and decide upon the best way to make it my story. I’ve never researched so much in my life and honestly there might not be an end to such profound meaning of life topics but it’s getting clearer and clearer what I’m destined to do with this most cherished series of mine.
The expected schedule for a series is a new installment each year, yet I’ve now had two children between my last publication. I don’t write for income but to attempt to deliver an engaging, spiritual journey to you, my lovely readers. I take it so seriously and do not want to regret finishing this in a hurry and failing to reach all the most transformative messages that will hopefully help you to understand your journey as well.
Have faith in me and send good creative energy my way✨
TRACEY!!!
With the assistance of my two-year-old, your name was pulled out of the hat. Congratulations, Tracey, you have won the paperback set of the Infinite Series (books 1-4). I’ll reply on your comment with my email address and you can send me your shipping address at your convenience.
To all who entered, thank you so much for reading Infinite Faith and leaving a review. Whenever I see I have a new review I wish I could personally thank each person who takes the time to write one. I know how hard it is to take that time out and I actually find reviews so hard to write myself. I’m so pleased with how Infinite Faith has been received. It’s a relief to see that my readers like where I’ve taken the story.
Sorry if you didn’t win this time, but rest assured, I will make the same offer when I release Book 5 for the complete paperback series.

Hello my lovely fans,
I’m pleased to say I made the pre-order deadline by one day and Infinite Faith is up on pre-order on Amazon here.
This is the first time I’ve used pre-order so this is new to me. Self-publishing is a constantly evolving process much of time leaving me to play catch-up on the new technologies and options.Because I don’t want my fans to loose out on the one-day sale I planned on release day I’m setting the pre-order price at the release day sale price. The price will go back to $5.99 on May 2nd so grab it up before then!
~Lauren
I’m so happy to say to all my patient fans that Infinite Faith (Infinite Series Book 4) will be released May 1st!
It has taken longer than I predicted due to the ENORMOUS restoration project that I’ve taken on which I’m still slaving away at on weekends, but that is another story and another book!
Infinite Faith was originally going to include three past lives, but after much thought and feedback, the story can’t end here and a fifth book is needed to complete the story. I know that is welcome news for many of you that have begged for the Infinite Series to go on and, after writing much of the third life of Infinite Faith, I realized that as much as you might plan a book, its characters develop a life of their own and take the story in their own direction. I was going to deviate from the original story format since I thought it would be exciting, but it just didn’t feel right. Therefore, Infinite Faith will include two fantastic lives, it’s on its way to being published and I’ve got some of Book 5 (Infinite Salvation) finished already!
Enough about that, I’m sure what you really want to see is the gorgeous cover S. Frost Designs created for me. This might be my favorite cover yet!
I also want everyone on my website to have a heads up that the eBook will be $4.99 instead of $5.99 for the first day only, so mark that date on your calendar (but I will still send out a reminder mass email that morning). I want you all the get that deal since it’s the only time I discount the later books. In return for the discount, I would be so appreciative for honest reviews since they are so important for new releases. Thanks so much for waiting for this fourth book and for your awesome support!
The results of the cover updating poll were close. Even though the poll leaned more towards keeping the original covers (which makes me happy that so many people loved them!), people emailed and left blog comments who couldn’t vote through the poll that they wanted to see it updated. So I started working on the free ebook redesign I won from the amazing Sylvia Frost and here it is:
(Drum roll please…)
Old cover (I do still love you):
New cover:
Ta Da!
Of course, I couldn’t stop from doing the whole series after seeing this one. I love how it still gives me the same feeling the original did, but it just adds a little more pizzazz. Sylvia went straight to work redesigning the rest of the series (no, I’m not going to show you Infinite Faith yet, but it’s sooo pretty!) However, I will show you Infinite Devotion:
(Cue the fireworks..)
Old Cover:
New Cover:
And here is Infinite Loss:
(Light the cannons…)
Old Cover:
New Cover:
Sylvia gave me three different mock ups to decide between and one of them appealed so much to me that we decided to put it on the back cover of the paperback version. I loved how they gave the ghostly impression of her past lives.
Well, please let me know what you think! Do you love them or are you still attached to the old ones?
(PS-I haven’t changed them all over on my distributors yet so if you love the old ones you can go by a print copy of them still.)
Maybe one day I’ll make a special edition of the original covers, but all I want to do right now is stare at these beauties! I can’t wait to hold them all in paperback form!
And to anyone who is looking for an extremely professional (and patient) cover artist, I highly recommend S. Frost Cover Design.
I better get back to writing Infinite Faith now…
I’ve been away from my blog for so long that WordPress changed on me and I had to completely relearn how to do this. Hopefully, I’ll be able to figure out how to attach a poll or this post will be pointless.
Awesome news! I won a free ebook cover design from the crazy talented (check out her portfolio) Sylvia Frost from S.F. Designs. I never really won anything before (except a $25 raffle at a doll house fair) and I couldn’t believe it when I saw my name—I guess this means I won’t have much chance winning the HGTV Dreamhome sweepstakes that I’ve been signing up for everyday 😦 The strange thing is that I was seriously thinking about updating my covers lately.
I knew exactly what I wanted on my covers before I published and I just needed to find someone who could put together what I saw in my mind. I wanted that infinity sign to be my brand and I wanted it to change with my main character’s progress through the series. The background photo I found on iStock after hours of searching though images and it just spoke to me. Since my book is so complicated, I thought a simple book cover works best. When I first saw this cover in my hands, I cried. It truly meant so much to me.
Which is why it’s hard to change it, but I realize that it’s a good idea to keep updating these things in hopes of drawing a larger readership. So my dear readers/blog followers/author friends, do you think they should stay just the way they are (I haven’t even revealed Infinite Faith’s cover..it’s my favorite yet) or would you like to see what Sylvia Frost can do to jazz them up? If I hear that most of you are attached to the original then I can always make a cover for the next project that I can’t wait to write 🙂 Either way, I LOVE creating covers!
Please take a minute to vote here to decide the Infinite Series cover fate. And I won’t have any hurt feelings or I wouldn’t have asked! Thanks so much for helping me make this big decision!
