edit data

Born and raised in California, Reylynn Purdue lives with her loving husband and three beautiful kids. A lover of books, she reads like crazy. She has also always enjoyed writing, but one day, she decided to take it to the next level. She started writing her debut novel in 2013. To say she had no clue what she was doing is an understatement. As of today, she still has no clue what she is doing when it comes to publishing a book, but she is learning as she goes. She loves her story and hopes you will as well. She also finds talking about herself in third person to be very strange, and she kind of hates it.

Thursday Thoughts

I was asked to write an article for USA Today when I released my book Without You, One of the questions they asked was why I wrote Without You? It was hard to open up and explain where Without You and my main character Roxanne come from. Here is what I had to say.
