SHADES OF SCARS
I am very proud to be a contributing author to this amazing Anthology along with my daughter Melissa Burns.
Every scar tells a story. In Shades of Scars: A Mosaic of Women’s Resilience, women from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences come together to share the moments that shaped them. Some stories speak of visible wounds. Some scars are faint and private. Others are bold and unmistakable. Yet together, these stories create something remarkable. What was once broken has been gathered, honored, and rebuilt into a larger picture.
These are real accounts of survival, loss, endurance, and transformation told in the voices of women who lived them. When placed side by side, the stories form a powerful mosaic: distinct, imperfect, and deeply human.

Guided by an unexpected letter, a discovered diary, and conversations with those who lived through the era—Laney uncovers long-buried truths rooted in love, sacrifice, and the lasting effects of World War II. As the past unfolds, the house itself stands as a silent witness, holding generations of stories within its walls.
As Charleston’s timeless streets and the steady rhythm of the ocean offer comfort, Laney rekindles a friendship that blossoms into romance, offering hope, healing, and the promise of second chances.

About ME
I’m an award winning, international best-selling author and public speaker whose writing spans several genres, including historical fiction, romance, family history, children’s books, and short stories. I began my writing career in healthcare before later transitioning into fiction.
Many of my stories are inspired by real events and personal experiences, which I weave together with heart and imagination. Through my books, I hope to create stories that resonate with readers, entertain them, and leave a lasting impression long after the final page.
When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family and my adorable Cavachon, Sophie. I also love cooking, crocheting, traveling, and gardening.
