Laura Jo Phillips is the author of the Amazon best-selling "The Soul-Linked Saga," a series of full-length (100,000+ words) sensual novels bridging the Fantasy/Shapeshifter, Romance, Adult Fiction, and Science Fiction genres. This breakthrough series has found thousands of readers from all of these genres, many of whom praise the series for its exceptional world-building, believable characters, well-paced action, steamy eroticism, and heart-melting love stories. There are currently seven novels in the series and one novella, with the seventh novel, "The Falcorans' Faith," released in April 2013. The series is expected to consist of at least eight novels. All novels in the series are only for adult readers who are not offended by explicit sexuality. She is also the author of the new Romance/Fantasy trilogy, "The Orbs of Rathira." The first two volumes of this series, "Quest for the Moon Orb" and "Quest for the Sun Orb" are currently available. The concluding volume of the trilogy is expected in the second half of 2013. Ms. Phillips not only produces work of extraordinary creativity, sensuality, and originality, but is also turning into one the most prolific authors in the Fantasy and Romance genres, publishing eight 100,000 word plus novels in less than eighteen months. Fans appreciate that Phillips makes her books available as soon as they are written, rather than holding them for release on some date determined by marketing considerations or stretching publication out over a longer time so that the newest book does not undercut sales of previous novels. Phillips was born in San Bernardino, California and now lives in Northwest Arizona. Until recently, she was the Manager of a small professional office but is now writing full-time. She has had a number of careers, such as running a medical billing office and working for years as a technical writer, including writing software user manuals. Her lifelong ambition, however, has been to be a novelist, a dream which has recently come to fruition with the publication of the novels of "The Soul-Linked Saga," beginning with "The Dracons' Woman" in October 2011. "The Soul-Linked Saga" was born in a discussion over lunch at Denny's with her husband, in which Laura sketched the broad outlines of the series and enlisted his help with the science fiction and military/political elements, a lively (and, according to Laura, "fun") collaboration which continues through the series. Phillips plans at least one more novel in the "Soul-Linked Saga," as well as one more book in "The Orbs of Rathira" trilogy, and looks forward to spending many years travelling with her readers through the fascinating universe of "The Thousand Worlds" which she and her husband have created.
