Lynn Q: Describe the main character in the Jersey Barnes mystery series. A: Take the toughest, most hardcore military-trained dude that you can imagine. Then stuff him inside the body of a 5' 8" tall female with a knockout smile and a sassy attitude. Give her a penchant for quality lingerie, a trouble-making live-in father and a mysterious business partner. Oh, and be sure to strap on her weapon of choice, usually a Ruger. I'm having so much fun with the 'Southern' series and Jersey Barnes is a blast to write. I can't wait to see what adventure awaits her next! Q: You like to include animals in your stories, such as the raccoon in Sweet Home Carolina and the lazy Labrador in the Jersey Barnes mysteries. Why? A: Animals give us so much love and joy, and I think they remind us to be gentle and kind.
Q: Same question as above, but for senior characters. A: Retirees offer a wonderful--and very different--point of view. Not to mention the ingredient of humor. Just hang out at a corner barbershop for an afternoon or have lunch with a group of Red Hatters. Cripes. I couldn't make up stuff that good. Q: Where did you go to school? A: I was born in Wilmington, North Carolina and grew up in several states including New Jersey and Oklahoma. I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, and managed to show up for class between all the times I spent hanging out at the river. I left the Lone Star State with a business degree in marketing. Q: Where do you live? A: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Q: What motivates you to write? A: There is always a story idea or a conversation or a provocative scheme playing out in my head. If I didn't throw some of it onto a computer screen, I'd probably be a little nutty. Writing is something that's addictive, I think, and it's my goal to make each book better than the last. And great feedback from readers is icing on the proverbial cake. |
