Casting Doubt by Jane Charles
An artist, an accusation, a secret crush and a forbidden love make this a must read page turner! Will Larry ruin everything? Will the truth work it’s way out, or blaze a trail of destruction? Oh Larry, really? You won’t know what happens till the very end.
Author Info:
Jane Charles is a USA Today Bestselling author who has lived in the Midwest her entire life. As a child she would more likely be found outside with a baseball than a book in her hand. In fact, Jane hated reading until she was sixteen. Out of boredom on a long road trip she borrowed her older sister’s historical romance and fell in love with reading. She long ago lost count of how many fiction novels she has read over the years and her love for them never died. Along with romance she has a passion for history and the two soon combined when she penned her first historical romance. What turned into a hobby became a passion. In addition to historical romances, she has been pulled to write contemporary and has released two NA novels in her new series, Baxter Academy of Arts. She intends to continue writing both historical and contemporary.

Cross Springs Scandal by Caren Crane
A cheating husband, a mistress and a nosy relative? What happens when a secret is revealed? Will this Larry figure out a solution or will it be the death of him?
This short is absolutely fabulous and the Cross Springs series is a must read.
Author Info:
Caren Crane grew up in Nashville, TN, and as a result does not care for country music. However, she cares a great deal about family, friends and men in boots. She blames her love of reading on a childhood devoid of TV and heavy on amusing oneself. Reading books was a lot more fun than playing with Barbies and playing “library” was far superior to playing “school.”
Caren now lives in North Carolina with her tall, handsome husband and a semi-feral and very demanding rescue cat. She fills all her books with family, friends and happy-ever-after endings. Which all books should feature, in her opinion. Connect with Caren on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CarenCraneAuthor or get the latest book news at https://www.CarenCrane.com

This short is fabulous, contemporary and very suspenseful. It’s time to head back to college and meet Connor and Jen. This is one Larry you might not want to cross.

Thanks so much for featuring us, Rae. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed our Larry stories–we had a lot of fun brainstorming this project and working together on it. We really appreciate your time here.
Rea, thanks for all the great things you said about this series. Like the others, I had fun writing Casting Doubt, and dealing with Larry. And, it fell in perfectly with my Baxter Academy of Arts series.
Jane this collection is fabulous 🙂 That’s great to know 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and Happy Release Day 🙂
Gosh, Rae! Thanks for all the nice things you said about 50 Ways to Kill Your Larry! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed it. I must say that inspiration for “Sinnocence” wasn’t difficult to conjure. I mean, who hasn’t fantasized about getting rid of their boss? 😉
Michelle I’m still giggling 🙂 Awesome! Happy Release Day! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Thanks so much! Is it bad to admit that all the ways that were discussed to possibly kill the lying, cheating Lawrence Walsh III were ways I’d daydreamed my lying, cheating ex-husband would go…? Probably – just forget I said that part.
I meant, writing a fun contemporary short was a nice change of pace. 🙂
Ava – I think tomorrow’s post with the “story” is awesome. Readers are going to love it! It was a fabulous set of stories and I’m so happy that I had the chance to review it. Thanks for stopping by today 🙂
Thank you for featuring the contemporaries in our Larry anthology, Rae! “Cross Springs Scandal” was a lot of fun to write. Poor Larry Warren is gone, but he won’t soon be forgotten! 😀
Caren – Absolutely enjoyed this! There are so many memorable tales of dear Larry – just a few more hours till everyone can find out just how creative, fun and awesome this collection is! Thanks again and thanks for stopping by 🙂
