INTERVIEW

Geri: Did a special person in your life inspire you to write?

Lynda: Yes. My daughter expressed a desire to write children's stories.

To encourage her, I told her I would write with her. Well, a

children's writer I'm not, not even close. So I began writing a

romance instead. I was hooked!

Geri: What type of books do you enjoy writing?

Lynda: Contemporary Romance and Sci-Fi with romantic elements.

Most of the stories in my head seem to fall into one of those

two categories.

Geri: Who is your favorite author?

Lynda: I don't really have a constant favorite. I'll give any writer a chance

to be my absolute favorite of the moment. I'm one of those rare

readers that doesn't choose a book by first looking for the works

of a certain author. The book cover grabs me first, then I read the

blurb. If those two things pull me in and the author delivers on

the promise of those two elements, that author has just become

my favorite.

Geri: Do you have any current work in progress?

Lynda: I'm currently shopping around a YA Sci-Fi series. And I'm working

on the follow-up book to THE OCEAN BETWEEN. This book,

CROSSING THE CHASM (Working Title), will follow the course

of Califar and Jessica, secondary characters in THE OCEAN

BETWEEN.

Geri: How did you feel at your first book-signing?

Lynda: Oh! I wish. I haven't had a signing yet, although, I have two

scheduled for later this summer. I'll have to send you an update

on that.

Geri: Thank you very much for your time. It has been a pleasure

meeting you on your social website, and I'm proud to be

part of it. Wishing you much success in your writing endeavors.

Lynda: You're welcome!
