Robert, CEO of Prince Organics, a man driven by excellence, despises everything and everyone labeled Hopkins. But it wasn’t always that way.

Prince of Granola - L. A. Sartor
I love visiting other places by reading a great story with an awesome setting such as this one. Once I started reading I couldn't put the book down. The characters are well-developed, fun to get to know and it is easy to feel their emotions. The story is excellent, the cover of the book fit the story perfectly and the title for the story couldn't have been better. I highly recommend this book to other readers. It has a great story line, romance and plenty of drama to keep you interested. I give this book a literary rating of 5/5 written by vickie

About the Author
I started writing as a child, really. A few things happened on the way to becoming a published author … a junior high school teacher who told me I couldn’t write because I didn’t want to study … urk … grammar. I went to college, moved a few times, came home and found the love of my life (that is another novel worthy story, but for later), and got married. We were super busy with our respective careers, mine a custom jewelry business with my mom, who was also teaching metalsmithing at the time, and my husband a crazy law career. We had two fur babies, Fudge (and briefly her brother Smudge, but sadly he didn’t live very long) and Two. Our cats would sleep with us and when they’d stretch out to their full length, we’d end up sleeping on the edge of the mattress. I have always been a voracious reader and one night after throwing a particularly bad book at the wall (even putting a small ding in said wall), I realized that I could do better. I told my husband, and he said go for it. I called Mom and she revealed the junior high teacher story and she told I’d been writing all the time up to that point. That blew me away. I didn’t remember any of it. But I started writing again, nearly the next day, pen and paper, learning, making mistakes, winning contests, nearly getting an agent, becoming disenchanted with the publishing industry and moving away from novel writing to screenwriting, getting a contract for a script and doing really well in screenwriting contests. But none of that was making me much money. After numerous scary robbery drills I wanted to move away from my bank job (yes, this is many years later and a lot of stuff in between) and write full time for the green stuff. My husband told me repeatedly that independent publishing was becoming a valid way to publish a novel and people were making big dollars. I didn’t believe him even after he showed me several Wall Street Journal articles. I thought indie meant vanity press. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I started pursuing this direction seriously, retired from the bank and hit the keyboard, learned a litany of new things and published my first novel. My second book became a bestseller, and while I’m not rolling in dough, I’m absolutely on the right course in my life. So if you have a dream, pursue it as hard as you can. Life can get in the way, but never give up. Please come visit me at www.lasartor.com, see my books, some pictures, some screenplays and sign up for my mailing list.
