==Book Description==
Jenna Rhodes escaped her mother's idea of a successful, elite life with an early marriage to an unknown artist, but her husband's eventual success has catapulted her into the midst of another world in which she feels she doesn't belong. Now, in her early twenties, she finds herself alone with a young baby and fighting against her overwhelming artistic desires. With memories of the past and the rekindling of an old friendship, Jenna struggles to find her own world. Rejecting her impulses becomes impossible, though, when a handsome magnetic force begins to pull at her spirit.

==Book Description==
Susie Brooks is a nineteen-year-old dance teacher whose main stability through an uncertain childhood was her best friend, Evan Scott, a guitarist with a flair for the business world.

When Duncan moves into Evan’s world, he changes the dynamics not only within the band, but within Susie and Evan’s relationship. The three friends find themselves struggling with love, loss, and secret passions during the turbulent Seventies. A Different Drummer is the first of a series of four.

'''Review Clip'''

"In the style of most great storytellers, 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. I very much look forward to reading the next three stories."

LKHunsaker: /* On the Web */

{{DEFAULTSORT:Hunsaker, LK}}
[[Category:Authors - H]] 

'''LK Hunsaker''' specializes in mainstream romance with strong characterization and an emphasis on the arts and social issues.

Her passion for books, music, and art was fueled by an artistic family, and after dabbling with creative writing since childhood, she began to combine word play with another passion: studying relationships. A degree in psychology strengthened her interest in and understanding of human nature, and the effects of family issues mixed with friendships, romance, and culture have strong reflections in the author's work. Having moved often as a military spouse and traveling widely in between, she is now settled in Pennsylvania with her husband and two children.

== Works In Progress ==

Expected to be released in 2009 is a novel again centering around music, but this time in a current time frame and from the point of view of a young, male pop star who finds himself for the first time responsible for someone besides himself. Truth be told, he has never even been responsible for himself. The novel is well underway and is in rewriting/editing.
