Did you know there’s only one week to go before Implanted is loosed upon the world?
Things are rolling along–make that steamrolling–and I wanted to briefly check in before I head to Austin for ArmadilloCon later this week.

I had a great time at RWA Nationals in Denver. It was intense, inspiring, and I left with lots of new contacts and things to think about. This is me (furthest on the right) and my New Mexico chaptermates having a blast:

When I got back to town, the amazing Fran Wilde put together a worldbuilding roundtable with a group of awe-inspiring SF authors, including me, Mike Chen, Malka Older, Peng Shepard, and Tade Thompson. Check it out at Tor.com.

I also got interviewed by the great team at Unreliable Narrators, where we talk about Implanted, the path to publication, and some of my influences. I had a lot of fun with their thoughtful questions.

Finally, early reviews have been trickling in, which is gratifying to see. Even more so since people seem to like Implanted! Special thanks to all the reviewers who took a chance on a debut author.

Hopefully one of those convinced you to preorder the book, if you haven’t already!
I’m so excited for you and for Implanted. Can’t wait for it to be published ❤️
Ahh! Thanks! You’re the best 😉
I really enjoyed reading implanted! It’s so good and I can’t wait for the next book! I’ll be doing a full review of this soon! Good luck with the publishing! I bet everyone will love it! xx ❤️😀
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
No problem! xx
You did a great job on this one, Lauren. A few authors have tried testing the waters on sci-fi novels and got drowned in the process. All the best for your future novels!
::blushes:: Thank you!
