1) Holly: You are an Author of how many books now? Also, their titles?   

  
Lynn: Two that are published so far. Afterthoughts and Left in the Dark. I’m working on the third, Buried Deep, and a trilogy called The Winberrie Journals.      

 
2) Holly: You self published your first book. What made you decide to go that route?   

   
Lynn: My favorite sci-fi author, Piers Anthony, gave me some great advice. If I believed in myself and my story and couldn’t get anyone to pick it up, self publish. Get it out there, get a fan base and see what happens. I did! And within a few weeks, I landed a publisher.      

  
3) Holly: What made you want to be a writer?     

 
Lynn: I love a great story. I’ve had the story line for Afterthoughts in my head for a long time. I finally made myself sit down and bang it out. The rest is gravy compared to that.    

 

 
4) Holly: Would you recommend any books that would help a first time self publisher?      

Lynn: Definitely. Everyone should own a copy of 1001 Ways to Market Your Book by John Kremer.      

 
5) Holly: What company did you use to self publish your first book?      

Lynn: I used iUniverse. They were great to work with to send out a very nice product.      

 
6) Holly: How did you come up with the stories for your books?   

  
Lynn: Who knows? I think I was born with The Mind Bending series in my head. I do get a lot of ideas from dreams and imagination.      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

7) Holly: Any good advice for first time Authors?  

 

 

 Lynn: Don’t ever give up! This is one of the toughest businesses to break in to. You will hear a lot of comments both good and bad. Keep at it and be proud of yourself for it.

8)  Holly: If you had to do it again, anything you would of done differently? 

 

 
Lynn: I don’t know that I would do anything different. I’m extremely happy with how things turned out.  

    

  
9) Holly: How many hrs a day do you write/ days a week?   

  

Lynn: Not nearly as much as I should. When it gets down to crunch time, I have to set limits and goals for myself to get it done.
