Authors Darlene Lamoureux and Karen Hanson to Get Their Joint Book’s Spotlight at the 2025 LATFOB and Los Angeles Book Confab

The self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will showcase “An Almighty God? Get Serious! / Trophies of Grace” by Darlene Lamoureux and Karen Hanson, respectively, at two upcoming events this April in California: the Los Angeles Book Confab on April 23-24, 2025, at the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City in Universal City, and the 2025 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) on April 26-27, 2025, at the University of Southern California (USC) campus in Los Angeles.

One of the most captivating aspects of this book is how two distinct yet equally profound journeys converge in a way that only divine intervention could orchestrate. One book, two stories. “An Almighty God? Get Serious!” and “Trophies of Grace” share spiritual insights that the authors have gained through their bond and relationships with Jesus Christ.

“An Almighty God? Get Serious!” by Darlene Lamoureux chronicles the author’s experience through an unexpected brain tumor diagnosis, which terminated her career plans. Through her trust and worship of the Almighty God, Darlene finds her peace. Her confidence in God allows her to put to rest her uncertainties.

“Trophies of Grace” by Karen Hanson follows 14-year-old Karen’s journey through drug addiction, sexual abuse, and years of hardship, eventually leading her to the acceptance of Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

God’s activity in their lives stands out more and more, over time, as Karen’s hardships become a conduit to her newfound faith, and Darlene’s hardships serve to strengthen her already persistent assurance in Him. His fingerprints show up all over the physical and emotional healing for both women – a testament to the boundless grace, sovereign power, and relentless love of the Almighty.

The way both authors highlight the transformative and healing power of faith is something that will resonate deeply with readers from all walks of life.

ReadersMagnet supports independent authors in finding their niche in the publishing industry. The company helps emerging and established authors expand to a wider audience and enhance brand visibility. ReadersMagnet also exposes authors to several national and international book events, such as the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, and even creates its own events for authors, such as the Book Confabs.

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is an annual event hosted by the University of Southern California. It is the largest book festival in the United States, drawing approximately 150,000 people. The two-day, open-air free festival opens doors for authors and publishers to connect with a wider audience and boost marketability. The event also allows book marketers to find inspiration in their strategies for future marketing. The company will put up its exhibit space at booth #225.

ReadersMagnet also came up with an initiative to gather authors days before the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books – the Los Angeles Book Confab. The Los Angeles Book Confab provides RM authors with a platform to talk about their works, their publishing journey, and storytelling techniques at a given time in front of an audience. With this, an author can practice talking about their book in front of a crowd before their scheduled book signing during the 2025 LATFOB. Non-RM authors are also welcome to talk about their books through the open mic session offered by ReadersMagnet.
