Nostalgic Gifts for the Holidays

Hello and happy holidays!

Do you enjoy reading? Do you like nostalgic fiction? Are you okay with mature content?* If so, I'd like to invite you to sample my two novels: Life Rocks On, a wild ride through the '60s, '70s and beyond; and The D.A.'s Forever, which answers the question "What happens when four greasers from the '50s reunite in the '80s?" Clicking on each title will take you to its official website, where you can read an excerpt for free (which can also be done on the books' product pages on Amazon). Both novels are in e-book** format, and both are very reasonably priced, making each a good contender as a gift for the book lover(s) in your life!

Another gift possibility? The great music from the 1950s, '60s and '70s! Hey, don't knock it if you didn't live through it; the artists from rock & roll's golden era were the pioneers of the genre, and many are still actively performing and recording today. And I've got an online store set up where you can browse through CD and MP3 selections by genre and, in many cases, listen to samples before you buy. Everything is organized by category and sub-category; I've done the work so you don't have to. Just click on the link to visit Laura's Little Shop of Oldies on my Oldies Connection site; or you can visit the store directly on Amazon by clicking here.

*Mature content advisory: Both novels (Life Rocks On and The D.A.'s Forever) contain adult language and explicit sexual situations. In addition, Life Rocks On contains  references to incidents of abuse and violence which may be unsettling for certain individuals. Reader discretion is advised.

**Both novels are available exclusively on Kindle at the present time. However, a Kindle device is not needed to read Kindle books; they can be read via a free app for PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet, or directly in your browser. And Kindle books can also be purchased as gifts! By making them available as e-books, I am able to keep the prices low; each book costs about the same as a fancy coffee beverage, and less than the average fast-food meal ... and will last a lot longer! In fact, Life Rocks On is quite a hefty novel, the typed manuscript having topped out at 650 (!) pages ... so it's definitely a book for people who love to read!

Welcome To My World!

Hello and thank you for stopping by. This is my first post on my newest blog, which I created to help launch the release of my novel, THE D.A.'s FOREVER. Details on the book and links to its product page on Amazon can be found on the homepage of my website, Laura Pinto Online. This site also has links to all of the other websites I own and social networks I belong to. As you'll see, I'm a huge fan of the great music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

I'm so excited to be able to share my writings with the world, and to see my first full-length novel available for folks across the globe to read and enjoy. Naturally, THE D.A.'s FOREVER, while set in the '80s, has a '50s theme; most of my writing pays homage to rock and roll's golden era, and my fiction is no exception.

Please visit my new author page on Facebook, from which you can also check out my profile on Goodreads.

I thank each and every one of you for your support. I'm thrilled that we live in the age of the Internet; so much is possible now that wasn't possible when I first conceived of the storyline for THE D.A.'s FOREVER more than twenty-five years ago!

Thanks again ... more to come very soon.
