~helping families visit their wounded service members~
 

Writing, Art, Literature, Music, Dance, Theatre, History, Travel. Also, playing on the web and meeting people from everywhere; dabbling at web design when I can find the patience; riding on the back of my husband's Harley; swimming; boating/water; learning to play my acoustic guitar and messing with the piano. And definitely, chatting with good friends.

MusicI'm music obsessed. I listen to a lot of different genres, including pop, rock, classical, musicals, country (country-rock, not the whiny stuff), Celtic, and anything done well that doesn't include screaming or rapping or "woe-is-me" lyrics. Suggestiveness is okay; outright vulgarity is not.

Two of my fave singer/songwriter/musicians are Duncan Faure and Eric Faulkner. I tend to be biased toward musicians who write their own music, especially when they not only excel at one instrument, but two or more! I'm also in tune to the lyrics, as I'm a word fanatic. I love word play and deeper meanings.

Some of my other faves include the Bay City Rollers, Matchbox 20 (and Rob Thomas solo), Meatloaf, Melissa Etheridge, Nickelback, Sister Hazel, Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Rogers, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Lifehouse, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Beatles, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Steadman, Eagles, Bon Jovi, Genesis, Phil Collins, Donny Osmond, Jouney, Travis Tritt, Sawyer Brown, Collin Raye, Leanne Rimes, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, Satie, and the list goes on.... I love hearing live bands, especially in small clubs, but they have to be non-smoking clubs, which tend to be hard to find.


Susie Brooks: dance teacher, band assistant ... and protagonist of the Rehearsal series. Click her image to go to her Myspace.

MoviesAnything with Johnny Depp, except for horror: Pirates 1 & 2, Charlie, Benny and Joon, Don Juan DeMarco, Neverland, Secret Window, Edward Scissorhands, The Libertine, Chocolat, The Man Who Cried.... He is, in my opinion, the hands-down best current actor and deserves much more credit through the years than he's been given. I'm glad he's finally getting it. A celebrity with the heart of an indie artist: have to love that.

Another rising favorite is Gerard Butler (Phantom of the Opera, 300, P.S. I Love You): a very versatile actor with a heart of gold that shows in his face and charming humility.

I also love My Best Friend's Wedding, My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, Bridget Jones, and any well-written romantic comedy or good historical film.

TelevisionI love Friends and Dharma and Greg reruns, and I faithfully watch Dancing with the Stars and my newest fave is Castle. I don't often watch TV otherwise and would generally rather work on the next novel or current short story.

HeroesAll those who stay true to themselves while following, and working for, their dreams, without taking others down in order to do so.

My heroes tend to be regular people making their way through the world while trying to help others along the way, without expecting praise and adoration.

Hello and welcome to my space.

I'm the author of Finishing Touches and Rehearsal, both of which are mainstream/literary romance. Mainstream 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 have just released my fourth novel, Off The Moon, and you can find it at ElucidatePublishing.net or from my website. It's getting great early reviews! I'm now back to work on the third book of my Rehearsal series and have finished a first draft for a novella. Things are rolling right along!

I have been published in 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"

Who I'd like to meet:
I would love to meet other indie artists and art/music lovers who believe in the value of hard work and responsibility and being true to themselves.

I would also love to meet Eric Faulkner, Johnny Depp, Paul McCartney, Laura Bush, Marilynne Robinson, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Maksim Chmerkovsky, Chad Kroeger, and the writers of Pirates of the Caribbean.
