Hello and welcome to my space.
I'm the author of Finishing Touches and Rehearsal, both of which are literary romance. Literary means I emphasize characterization and societal issues. Romance means, in this case, actual romance as far as building relationships and struggling through them, not the lustful, quick-read romances the genre typically forecasts. My novels are meant for 15 and older, although there is nothing gratuitous to alarm parents of those younger than 15. Future plans include work for only 18+ but they will be well-marked.
Currently... I'm in the process of converting Rehearsal: A Different Drummer and Finishing Touches into hardcover format. FT will also be available as an ebook. Rehearsal may be available as ebook sections (still pondering that one). I'm also completing the first draft of a story that's been in my mind for several years, and getting back to final editing of Rehearsal: The Highest Aim, now scheduled for early 2008.
I have been published in two poetry ezines alongside some very talented poets and have short stories in Wanderings Magazine (Spring 2007) and The Oasis (Summer 2007). There are also free reads on my site: LKHunsaker.com/freebies.htm

REVIEWS:
"...charming, with skillful prose and compelling characterization; a book you won't want to miss."
-- Writer's Digest judge
"I'm amazed that such a complex person and story can be created, and told in such beautiful, thoughtful detail. I feel like I know her now, like I've been inside her thoughts and her life."
-- Lynda
"I felt Jenna's deep love towards Aaron from just feeding him, touching him, and little things she does for him. I was sad and happy with Jenna the whole time. My life has no resemblance with Jenna's life, but somehow I felt as if it is mine." -- K. Kikuchi
"Jenna and the men around her represent all the affection, passion, and love, not simply for the opposite gender but for everyone and everything in everyone's life, in different shades. Within a few pages, the readers will be reminded of their own past and present relationships with others and their inner selves." -- Alex
"Ms. Hunsaker has created a cast of characters that captivated me, had me on the edge of my seat, not even wanting to close my eyes at 4am. Though I am known for not wanting to stop reading in the middle of the story, I can scarcely recall a time that I have become so engrossed in the lives of the characters so totally."
-- Dee
"I LOVE IT!! ... Thanks for taking me on a wonderful journey and introducing me to characters that I now know and love! Not many books actually do that!"
-- Tanya
"The scenery descriptions paint a clear picture in the reader's mind, making you feel you are witnessing the scenes, rather than reading about them. This is a hard-to-put-down book."
-- Dorothy
"Rehearsal is about the soul of an artist -- about the choices and struggles made by young people. Set in the 1970's it has the flavor of that era when rock bands were a part of every day life; yet it has a timeless theme."
-- Mary
"The plot flow steadily increases as the story moves on adding just enough twists and complications to keep the reader hungry for more. The well-developed characters, even the more minor ones, are the power of this work, and what makes it memorable."
-- Kara
"Once I started reading it, I had a very hard time putting it down until I had devoured every page!"
-- Kathi
"Really classic, soul-moving stuff. It is unforgettable... The romance was described exquisitely - gorgeous, living-eternally writing! ... you have created a masterpiece ... I absolutely could not put it down."
-- "Marilyn Savage Gray, author of "The Real Shakespeare"

I wrote a story several years ago as a gift for my children, complete with artwork, and decided to put it in print to share with others:
