Lynn Cahoon I'm glad you're enjoying the Survivors' Book Club series. I don't live in the Sedona area, but I do live in a mountainous area. I love adding hikes to real spots so Archer and Rarity can have a moment together.
Lynn Cahoon Hi Lilly, All of my books are available on Amazon. Thanks for asking.
Lynn Cahoon Hi Christina! Yes, Christina and Levi are in book 7 - late July 2025. I'm still planning book 8 so I can't say, but I hope so.
Lynn Cahoon So there's a story behind that feeling - I thought that maybe my publisher wouldn't extend the contract. If this was going to be the end, I wanted to end it where everyone was happy.
Well, it happened that my publisher did want to extend (Seven Secret Spellcasters comes out next summer and number 8 will follow in 2026.) I adjusted a few things but left some - like Christina and Levi's move to Oregon. Trent hasn't asked. But Grans is having a special party in the next book.
Lynn Cahoon Hi Alex - Did you just finish Six Stunning Sirens? If yes, then you're going to be excited that there will be a #7 (Seven Secret Spellcasters) and #8 coming in the series. After that? It's in the hands of the readers and the publisher. So tell all your friends how much you love the series. Thanks for the question. Lynn
Lynn Cahoon Yes! I've got one in the pipeline for a December release - Formal Fatality. My long-range plan is to release one a year. Thanks for asking.
Lynn Cahoon Not sure what this question is referring to?
Lynn Cahoon That would be fun. I've always wanted to write Tori's story (by Cat Latimer.) I plotted it out once walking a mall with Laura Bradford then never got around to writing it.
Lynn Cahoon Hi Pam - I'm happy to say we'll have at least 18 TT adventures. After that? It depends on my publisher. I love writing in the South Cove world so as long as readers like you pick up the new books, we'll be good. :)
Lynn Cahoon Hmmmm, things that make an author's mind go in circles. It's a good idea. Sasha has a job in the city though, maybe she'll have a Hallmark moment and realize that Toby is the one. Still thinking...
Lynn Cahoon Maybe. I'm not sure. I have amazing sisters who are in long term relationships that are very independent. Off the top of my head, I think I'm reacting to a feeling that marriage may change my character.

I guess we'll find out. Tourist trap is going that way as is Cat Latimer. Last year I was looking at writing several wedding cozies, so I had to pull back on a couple. Jill and Greg will tie the knot soon. We'll see how I work out that relationship to keep Jill's independent nature.

And thanks for reading. I love each of the series you listed off and I can't see not writing their ongoing stories. Married or not.
Lynn Cahoon Thank you for the message! I love writing (and playing) with my South Cove Crew! #15 is in the publishing process and will be released in June 2023. And I have some big news, but I can't say, yet. Stay tuned.
Lynn Cahoon Hi Paige, Thank you for ordering the Tuesday Night Survivors'' Club for your library. Yes, the second (and third book) will be available in print as well. The POD process makes the print version available closer to release day (rather than being available for pre-order like a mass market book.)

I appreciate you getting the Survivors' Book Club mysteries out to your patrons. Let me know if you have a cozy book club I can Zoom a presentation/Q/A/Book chat for you!

Lynn Cahoon I didn't mean it as a cliff hanger, but yeah...Lucky Book 13 is currently being written and will release in March 2022. Stay tune for more Jill and Greg along with the rest of the South Cove gang!
Lynn Cahoon Good Question Denise - Actual writing time is about two months, but then there's four rounds of edits that adds to this time. I'm typically juggling one to three books at the same time in different stages of production. I'm a discovery writer so I don't know the story until I tell it. Which sometimes leads to some interesting edits. Glad you're loving South Cove.
