Entertaining people and making them want to turn the page because I've created characters they care about.

My entire life, and how I've survived it.

Hi Tony - I'm thrilled you enjoyed my books! Always good to hear! And, as a matter of fact, I do have something in the works, but I still have a way to go on it. I'm really trying to dedicate some quality time to getting it finished, but I can't tell you when that'll be.
Lyn Gardner
At this time, I don't plan to write a sequel to Ice or GMAR. I'm not really a sequel type of writer; however, after finishing Born Out of Wedlock, a sequel did come to mind. Don't know if I'll write it or not - other ideas in the pipe - but you never know. Thanks for the question and I'm thrilled you enjoyed Ice.

I'm not sure if you're talking about in my books or overall. In my books it would be Toni and Laura in Give Me A Reason for their strengths and their weaknesses. Overall, I can't say I really have a favorite fictional couple. I like lots of them, but its usually their pluckiness, strengths, and compassion I'm drawn to.

Hi Clar, Yes, I just finished my next book and it's in final editing at the moment, but no - it's not a sequel for GMAR. I'm not opposed to writing sequels, but unless an idea comes into my head that I believe does those two ladies, justice, I'll let them live happily-ever-after.

Hi Sophia - Writing is going well, albeit slowly. I had a few weeks of down time to spend some days in the sun, but heading back to the laptop tonight. I have a chapter or two to go before the book is finished and then the editing, re-writing, and overall punching up process begins. I hate putting a time/date on when it'll be ready, but I'm hoping by the end of the summer. Depends on my muse, my editor, my betas, and my own anal self. :)

I'm currently about half-way, so if "soon" is a couple of weeks or months, then no...but I'm trying! :)

Big smile here on the "favorite authors of all time." :)
As for new books, I'm working on two currently - both of which are going a bit slowly. But, I'm still plugging along and hope beyond hope to have another released in 2016

I'm working on a book now, but I can't guarantee I'll get it completed this year...but I'm working on it! Thanks for the question and thrilled you loved my books!!

Hi Nikita, I'm still working on the next one. I got sidelined by some personal events, but I'm trying my best to get back on track and get the next book finished.

You take Lyn. There is no rush for a new book your personal life comes first.

Learn from critique...and get yourself a lot of beta readers. :)

I swear...a LOT!

I'm hoping to release another one in 2015, but this year I was just too busy with way too much for quality writing time. I'm planning to change that once January 1st rolls around and schedule myself some time to write NO MATTER WHAT! (lol)
