About Veritable Books

Veritable Books strives to be a voice for those seeking to uncover truth. A new indie publisher, we aim to help shine light in a world often filled with darkness. Our most recent book is by new author, Tracy Norris, called Shadows of Grief: Losing a Child to the Fentanyl Epidemic and Finding the Strength to Carry On.

Shadows of Grief Ebook Cover conv 1

Shadows of Grief poignantly details the challenges faced by a mother who loved, fought for, and tragically lost her child in the harrowing battle against addiction, particularly the highly searched-for substance, fentanyl. The tumultuous journey, fraught with ups, downs, fears, and terrors, is shared with unfiltered vulnerability, shedding light on the profound impact of addiction and child loss.

As a tribute to her son Marcus and his life, marked by the relentless fight against addiction, Shadows of Grief is set to be released on what would have been his 30th birthday. Norris extends a heartfelt invitation to readers to participate in this commemorative event, acknowledging her son’s life, his unique journey, and his valiant battle with addiction, particularly against the scourge of fentanyl.

Lauren Hunter’s most recent title is, Write Your Journey: A Step-by-Step Guide to Write Your Life Journey Fast, published in 2021. Launched in 2020, Veritable Book’s first title, by Lauren Hunter, was Leaving Christian Science: 10 Stories of New Faith in Jesus Christ.

Veritable Books Testimonials

Lauren is blessed to have worked with many dedicated, focused authors with busy professional careers. She specializes in developmental coaching, a combined approach to planning the books theme, reach, and scope alongside developmentally editing each chapter, throughout the book writing process. At the end of the book writer coaching term (usually between five to nine months depending on the length of the author’s book and the scope of coaching), the author comes away with a finished work that has gone through a deep developmental edit and is ready for copyediting or a combined copyedit with line edit.

Lauren is available to white glove the final phases of the book publishing process for those interested in a concierge-style approach to self-publishing. For others, Lauren is able to hand over the reigns and coach through the self-publishing process to those on a tighter budget with more DIY energy on their hands.

Lauren officiated my Mother's celebration of life service and we could not have asked for anyone more caring and loving. She also beautifully sang several of my Mother's favorite songs. It was wonderful to have one person who could handle both the officiant role and provide the music.
Thank you Lauren ! The whole family appreciates everything you did !

Lauren is amazing. She has a wonderful way of connecting deeply with people very quickly, making you feel welcome, seen, understood and loved. Her heart for people and for God are evident. And yet at the same time she is very respectful and professional, meaning she follows through with what she says, and does a great job at whatever needs to be done. She is an excellent communicator, speaking with clarity and emotion. She's also a wonderful musician and songwriter!

Lauren Hunter was incredibly caring and compassionate as she led my mother’s funeral service. She took the time to learn about my mother’s life and our family, offered kind guidance as we planned, and checked in often to see how I was doing. The service was heartfelt, personal, and exactly what my mother would have wanted. The music she performed was beautiful and added such a special touch. I’m deeply grateful for the comfort and care she provided during a difficult time.

Lauren was absolutely amazing for the family she helped serve!

From start to finish, her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail truly makes any ceremony unforgettable. She takes the time to get to know the families and their loved ones life, and crafted something that felt perfect.

Lauren Hunter is a truly exceptional celebrant. She stepped in during a very emotional and difficult time and gently guided me through the process of planning my mom’s service with compassion, grace, and professionalism. From start to finish, Lauren had a thoughtful plan in place and helped bring calm and clarity when I needed it most.

Her kindness and caring nature shone through every step of the way, and it’s clear she was meant to do this work—it takes a special person to hold space for others in times of grief, and Lauren does it with deep empathy and respect. I’m so grateful she was part of this important moment in honoring my mom’s life.
