Title: Trouble By Any Other Name
Sequel to Lady, Thy Name Is Trouble
Author: Lori L. MacLaughlin
Release Date: May 16, 2016
Genre: Fantasy
With her nightmares worsening, Tara seeks answers but
finds only more questions. Then her sister, Laraina, reveals a stunning secret
that forces Tara to go to the one place Tara's sworn never to return to. Her
troubles multiply when Jovan Trevillion, the secretive soldier of fortune who
stole her heart, is mentally tortured by an ancient Being intent on bending him
to its will. And worst of all, the Butcher — the terrifying wolf-like assassin
she thought she'd killed — survived their duel and is hunting her again.
Hounded by enemies, Tara sets out on a harrowing quest
to discover the true nature of who she is, to come to grips with the new
volatility of her magic, and to defeat the evil locked in a centuries-old trap
that will stop at nothing to control her magic and escape through her
nightmares.
Teaser:
Shivering uncontrollably, Tara heaved herself into a
sitting position. Freezing chills raced over her skin as she glanced around the
familiar slime-walled hallway of the nightmare dungeon. She looked toward the
closed iron door that sealed her off from the corridors beyond. Her heart sank
to the floor. No red griffin lay embedded in its smooth surface.
A soft scraping sound floated through the air, drawing
closer. The reek of rotting flesh filled the hallway. Tara staggered to her
feet, her gut twisting in panic. She backed away from the churning darkness at
the other end of the hall. Malevolence radiated from the depthless black,
hatred mixed with anticipation. The creature had been waiting for her.

About the Author:
Lori L. MacLaughlin traces her love of fantasy
adventure to Tolkien and Terry Brooks, finding The Lord of the Rings and The
Sword of Shannara particularly inspirational. She's been writing stories in
her head since she was old enough to run wild through the forests on the farm
on which she grew up.
She has been many things over the years – tree climber,
dairy farmer, clothing salesperson, kids' shoe fitter, retail manager, medical
transcriptionist, journalist, private pilot, traveler, wife and mother, Red Sox
and New York Giants fan, muscle car enthusiast and NASCAR fan, and a lover of
all things Scottish and Irish.
When she's not writing (or working), she can be found
curled up somewhere dreaming up more story ideas, taking long walks in the
countryside, or spending time with her kids. She lives with her family in
northern Vermont.
