From the Blurb:
Strong and sensitive sidekick, Echo, is everything Morgan ever dreamed of. And this powerful mage and flirty henchwoman is not letting the fact their employers are archenemies stand in the way of them starting a life together.
Faking her own death, Morgan starts anew as she and Echo head to the city of Laluna to open a bookshop inside a “barely haunted” church. They receive help from a shy tiefling carpenter looking to make a name for herself, and a chatty mousefolk librarian with big dreams. Igni—a feisty fire spirit who wants to eat the books—is more of a hindrance, but at least he keeps the shop warm.
Everything is perfect—as long as the villain Avery, Morgan’s old boss, doesn’t find out she’s alive. But the unexpected arrival of Broadshield, the annoyingly charming hero and Echo’s previous companion, puts Morgan’s cosy life in jeopardy. Can Morgan keep her happy ending or will her secrets destroy everything?
Enemies to Booksellers by Laura Catherine is a cosy, slice-of-life fantasy about new beginnings, found families, and heart-warming vibes—perfect for fans of Travis Baldree and Rebecca Thorne.

More About Laura Catherine:
How long does it take you to write a book? How long does each stage of the process usually take?
I can write a first draft in a month, then it depends on how much editing is needed and my life schedule. Editing can take a few months. I want to say like 10 months on average currently.
*
What is your favourite type of character to write?
My favourite types of characters are the funny ones. I like to write banter and people joking or teasing each other.
*
Do you mine your own life for ideas, settings and/or characters? If so, please give an example from your current book release where you have done this.
There are definitely parts of myself and my life in my books. I don't think it's intentional most of the time. It's just what I like or know.
In Enemies to Booksellers my character Echo likes to collect wooden ducks and I also love collecting knick-knacks. My other character Morgan has anxiety and adhd, which is something we share.
*
What is something you wish you had known earlier on in your writing career?
That it's OK to take breaks. You don't have to be writing and editing everyday.
*
What do you do when you find yourself in a bit of a writing rut? Is there any strategy you find works for you to help the words start flowing again?
I usually work on multiple books at the same time. So if I'm stuck on one, I'll switch to work on another book.

What is your favourite writing resource?
Save the Cat or watching Rebecca Thorne's TikToks
*
What authors or books inspire you the most?
I think I take inspiration from a lot of different people and places. I love reading and learning more about craft from others so I can try out things for myself.

What's next for your writing?
I'm currently working on book 2 in the cozy series, and a fairytale inspired standalone book called A Witch's Mark.
