Lemon Press and Lynn Hubbard

Hey there in the wingnut ward! I've spent some time talking with Lynn Hubbard, author of Run Into The Wind and found out that she says she's not ornery but insisted on being born in the middle of a blizzard. I'll let you guys judge for yourselves though so now, I'll just ask the questions and she can take center stage, what say? Here she is folks, Lynn Hubbard!



RJ Palmer:

I've visited your books page and read the reviews for RITW. It seems to be the consensus of opinion that your writing style is steamy and interesting without being over the top. Do you set out particularly to break the romance genre mold and write a new breed of romance novel?



Lynn Hubbard:

Absolutely! My books are enjoyed even by women who do not read romance books. I try to put my Character in a setting and stay historically true to that period. They are very detailed in all aspects ;-) but in a classy way.



RJ Palmer:

Your bio on Amazon says you were born during a blizzard on the first day of Spring and it seems to be something of which you are very proud. Tell me, are you inordinately ornery by nature or is it something you've worked to cultivate and does that help you in your writing? :)



Lynn Hubbard:

No I wasn't born ornry! I was actually a very sweet child who was very sick with Asthma. Not having the energy to run around outside, I stayed inside and read. It took me along time to build a backbone and stand up for myself as well as others. One reason why I love being an indie. No rules.



RJ Palmer:

Is there anything you want to tell me about Run Into the Wind? Something you've never told anyone or even something you've told everyone within earshot and want everyone else knowing?



Lynn Hubbard:

My characters are very detailed even the minor ones. One reader fell in love with a certain Army Captain and requested a book written about him. Don't know if Ben will get his own book, but I was very touched that he has a following!



RJ Palmer:

I know I'm the type of writer that could never write romance, science fiction/paranormal would be the only way I could go. Do you have another genre you would consider writing or is romance the only genre in which you can see yourself happily writing?



Lynn Hubbard:

I just finished a short Christmas story which has no Romance. It is mostly historical, I love history! I do have other Genre's in mind. In fact, I have a serial killer running around in my head as we speak. Shhhh!



RJ Palmer:

I like to hear quotes. Tell me your favorite and no, it doesn't have to have anything to do with writing but tell me what it is and why?



Lynn Hubbard:

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Life is not easy, I think that is why people love to read so much. If they are feeling down or stressed they can pick up a great book and fall into the pages. Like a mini vacation.



RJ Palmer:

What inspired you to write? Was there a particular choice you made or a journey of self-discovery?



Lynn Hubbard:

It was defifinately a jouney! A very long one. I was always better in than English and loved to draw in high school. I didn't start writing 'til my late 20's. I always got frustrated with some books I read. It would start out great and then it would shift somehow and the ending would suck. So I decided to write my own books which don't suck. ;-) I do like happy endings!



RJ Palmer:

Do you have a particular routine when it comes to your writing that helps the muse along? I know I call my routine a little OCD but tell me, do the words come whether you've stuck to your routine or not?



Lynn Hubbard:

No, I have to be inspired to write, I can't force it. So my books take a while, but they are worth it.



RJ Palmer:

Is there anything else you would like to tell me? To be truthful, I don't care if it's off the wall or not, just tell me something and be completely flippant for a moment if you would be so kind.



Lynn Hubbard:

I'm a pretty private person. I guess that's why I write fiction. I own a publishing company, Lemon Press Publishing, and most of my clients are non-fiction. They spilled out their life into their books. I am so proud of all of them, I'm not sure if I could ever be that strong. To rip off the scabs and open up my life to the world. If you have a second hop over to www.lemonpresspublishing.com and find some brave folks!





Awesome and thanks for talking to me, Lynn. If anyone is intrigued by what they see or would like to read Run Into The Wind (hint, hint) you can find it here on Amazon and here on Smashwords. You can also find out more about Lynn by visiting her website here and perhaps you'll be inclined to pick up a story. Enjoy!
