Early Reviews & more: I was a bit early since the final edits weren’t done, but I submitted my manuscript for an author review and a Reader’s Favorite Review. New York Times Best-Selling author Barbara Conrey said my writing was clean and crisp, catching the readers unprepared for the emotional roller coaster of finding love again, only to ponder the risk of heartbreak. Reader’s Favorite gave me a 5-star review, and the reviewer said the plot was superbly written and that she enjoyed it immensely. Both had more to say, but I was thrilled.
My publisher put on a marketing summit in San Antonio, TX. There is so much to do before the launch date and the majority of marketing will be in the author’s hands for the long term. Another learning curve to tackle!
Terrific News: I have signed with a small publisher! To keep informed of how I am doing with all the steps I need to accomplish to make it to the launch date, please sign up for my newsletter. My launch date is set for June 5, 2025.
Book Blurb:
More Than Luck Required pulls at your heartstrings as Lora Hamilton follows through on her father’s dying request. He’d asked her to put her tragic past behind her and be willing to love and to be loved again. Lora has carried the guilt and shame of feeling responsible for the death of her little girl and the resulting collapse of her marriage. She’s hidden from the judgment of others through social isolation and workaholism. Taking her first initial steps back into the world, she meets a closed-hearted widower, and a troubled artistic teen who motivate her to enter counseling to find redemption and rebuild her life. When a second chance presents itself, Lora has to decide if she’s willing to take that risk.
This book starts like a Lifetime drama, sprinkles in some Rom-Com humor to balance out the dark night of the soul experiences, and then provides them with a happy and satisfying Hallmark ending.
Author Review: June 2024
Barbara Conrey, a USA Today bestseller of Nowhere Near Goodbye said of my book:
Author Connie Morgan weaves a profound tale of love and loss with a pinch of fantasy in her glorious debut, More Than Luck Required. Flawed grief and against all odds, Lora and Copper, characters readers will not soon forget, find each other when neither is prepared to trust in love again.
Morgan’s writing is clean and crisp, catching her readers unprepared for the emotional roller coaster of finding love again, only to ponder the risk of heartbreak.
