Lynn Rush | First Time Meeting Readers...

I attended my first reader event in March. The Tucson Book Festival in Arizona.

It was so great seeing the hundreds and hundreds of people roaming around
talking about the thing they love: Reading.

And since I love to write, it was a good fit. We got to chat it up about demons,
angels & Guardians, give away fun prizes, and I got to answer questions from
readers.

One question that frequently came up was, "How do you come up with your
stories?" I get asked that a lot, especially when people find out I've written
twenty-five novels.

For me, ideas can spring up anywhere. At any time. I just need to be ready for
them, because an ordinary situation such as strolling down the grocery aisle can
turn into a scene of a book in a matter of minutes. You never know when you'll
meet interesting people that'll trigger some unique ideas for a novel!

That's what makes this whole writing thing so exciting.

Next up, Romantic Times reader convention in Chicago! I hope to see you there!

Coming in May

AWAITED (Wasteland, #2) The voice is a powerful thing. . .

Russell Leonard is a centuries-old Guardian who’s lost faith in his purpose. So
when he’s charged with procuring the first female Guardian in over two
centuries, he can only hope it’s the red-headed beauty who’s been haunting his
dreams for months. And if it is, he intends to claim her as his. But when he
finds his dream woman, Annabelle is mute and bears no Guardian’s Mark.

He soon realizes she’s been tainted by an ancient evil. Russell must somehow release the secrets trapped within this delicate soul to help her tap into the only weapon powerful enough to silence a millennia-old demon—her voice.

Thanks for the tip on where you come up with stories. I find that mine happen when it's difficult to write down, so I try to keep a few key phrases in mind until I get to paper for writing it down. Your story sounds like it's got a whole setting with a lot going on.

I hear ya on that one, Alyson. While I was out jogging one time, a thought for an
opening line of my story hit me. I stopped, pulled out my iPHone and wrote
myself a note! LOL. Then I just started running again. When I don't have
something to write on, I just keep repeating the thoughts until I can find a
napkin or post it. LOL. :) Thanks for stopping by to comment!

Evidently you are constantly on the alert for story ideas. Maybe your friends had better be on the alert before they find their actions in your book. LOL

This book sounds so amazing to me, that I have to read it!! It takes real talent to be able to pluck story lines practially out of thin air!! Knowing that, and the number of books that you've written, I'm sure this book is going to be fantastic!! It's not normally the type of book I'd read, but I'm so engrossed in the plot, that I have to find out what happens!! You've got to be a master storyteller!!

Gladys: I think there's a shirt out there that says, "Be nice to me or I'll kill you in
my next novel." or something like that. I saw that somewhere, thought it was
great! LOL!!!!

Peggy: Thank you!! I just love writing, so I'm constantly on alert for things to
trigger an idea. The key is to keep asking, "What if..." :) Thanks so much. I
hope you enjoy the story. Have a SUPER Evening.

Lynn, this book sounds Fantastic! I live in AZ and I would have traveled to Tucson for the meet if I would have known about it. How do I find out when any of the meet & greets are here in this state, I would love to go! I'm not a writer but I can understand that an Idea could come at any time, I have thought that too and like I said, I'm not even a writer. Happy Writing!

I love this genre. I'm always looking for new authors.
