Hi All, L.A. here! <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

May I have a minute of your time? I just have some quick things to say and then I’ll get out of your hair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, my All About Defy <\/em>blog posts. <\/strong>They’ll be up every week on Thursday mornings, however, I can’t guarantee they’ll be very long ones. I’ll try my hardest, but with school back in session (yes, I know, my school starts earlier than most) and my tennis season in full swing, it’s a little hard to find extra time to write both the blog and my next book (yes, Defy<\/em> is getting a sequel! More on that later \ud83d\ude09 ). Nevertheless, I’m going to try to give you something each week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you have any questions at all or topics you want me to touch on – comment below your request and I’ll try to post something about it! Always happy to answer my reader’s questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, my Facebook page!<\/strong> If you haven’t check it out yet, I have a Facebook page now! Just log into Facebook and search “Striving Author” and give me a like & follow! I’ll usually post there first with any news and keep you updated whenever I post something here. It’s also another great way to give me some support and communicate with me! Go check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you have an Instagram account, go follow me on Instagram! My username is strivingauthor30! I don’t use it as often as Facebook, but it’s also going to be another place for me to keep you updated (if Facebook is not your thing). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, I want to just say a quick thank you<\/strong> to everyone who’s reading my blogs. I appreciate your support so much! You don’t know how much it means to me! It feels like just a month ago this was all a wild dream and none of it would come true, but, alas, it did and I couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you and have a blessed day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

p.s.: if you haven’t bought my book yet, it’s available on Amazon to purchase (both ebook and paperback!) or use the link on my Books by L.A. Grabins<\/a> page! Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
