Welcome Lynn
1. How long have you been writing?
I’ve been
writing since I was twelve years old. I sold a religious poem at that age and
decided it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
2. What is
your favorite genre to write?
This is a
tough one. I write in all genres, so it’s hard to pick a favorite. If I had to
choose just one, I would say it is sci-fi romance. I can take the science of
the day and twist it to whatever I want.
3. What are
you working on now?
My WIP is
titled Unlikely Paradise and it’s a sci-fi sensual romance. It’s about a woman
that uncovers a nepharious plot on a pleasure planet. She and the hero must
find a way to save themselves and let the world know about what’s been
happening.
4. When you
start a new story do you begin with a character or plot?
It all
depends. I’ve been known to see a picture and start with that. I get
inspiration from everywhere. Truly, it can start with a picture, a place, a
character or sometimes I dream the story, start to finish, then fill in all the
rest.
5. Tell us about your latest/upcoming
release. What inspired it?
The Harvester was inspired by a night
out with the girls. We had a wonderful time and some of us decided that it
would be great to do a series of stories based upon a girls night out. I’m the
first to publish one. There are three other authors I hope to contribute a
story to the series soon.
The Harvester
Word Count: approximately 42,000 words
Logline:
Sky Nerezsh, a Harvester of men, leaves home avoiding a tragic path when a
rival comes to claim Earth and the two Scottish lifemates she’s just
discovered.
Blurb:
Princess Sky Xera Nerezsh came to earth to avoid the normal succession path to
the throne. Being the oldest daughter, she will be required to murder her
mother in order to secure her path to power. Sky loves her mother and refuses
this path, choosing instead to disappear in the vast reaches of space. When her
past collides with her present, she has to think quick on her feet, claim two
men and a whole planet just to avoid the inevitable: a meeting with her mother.
Along the way, she discovers true love and a burning need to be there for them
always. Now if the other Harvesters can just keep to themselves, they’ll have
no problems. But who said true love was ever easy.
Book Excerpt:
Suddenly
one dark haired man was on the table in front of her, gyrating his sexy hips in
her face, his package mere inches from her mouth. In another life, she would
have leaned forward and planted her lips on his crotch, willing his body to
perform. She really should have been paying more attention to the situation
around her instead of wondering about where Angela had gotten herself.
Leaning
down, his breath reminded her of the sweetgrass that grew on her home planet of
Tyrsati, heightening her senses even more. “Sweetheart, I see how you want
me...it’s written all over your face.” His voice purred in her ear.
Sky
gasped and pulled back to get a better look at the man in front of her. He
reminded her of the gods of Vada. He was tall, well-muscled, dark hair brushing
the top of his shoulders and had the most incredible violet eyes she had ever
seen. Guess the optics weren’t wrong.
He would fetch an exquisite price on Texra and her mother would be extremely
proud for her acquisition. She shook her head to clear the cobwebs.
“Nice
eyes, sweetie – hang around after the show – I’ll make it worth your while.”
His voice hit a resonance with her and her whole body flushed. It had been
years since she had reacted to any man. Now her emotions and body betrayed her
for an insignificant being on an outer planet. She shook her head. This planet
was no more insignificant than any other, including her own but she knew if she
didn’t get herself under control, the Harvester in her would take over. Old
habits die hard.
“Don’t
let his demeanor fool you, luvey. He just wants to get into your pants.”
Another deep voice reverberated close to her ear.
She
glanced over her shoulder and again her breath was nearly taken away as she
looked into the bluest eyes she’d ever seen in the galaxy bar none. The sky of
Octa couldn’t hold a candle to the color that swirled in their depths.
“Ooo,
Jaxon is right about the eyes. Very cool green.”
“Contacts,”
Sky managed to get out for the second time this evening, her voice low.
“And
a sexy voice to boot. Very nice.” He twirled away to join his companion on
stage. He was just as nice looking as the first guy but just a little shorter.
His shiny hair swung around his jaw line as he moved and her hands ached to run
her fingers through it and over his body.
She
sat there stunned as the people at her table laughed and clapped her on the
back as if she’d done some sort of fantastic feat. While her time on this
planet had been very thrilling, in her old life working for her mother, their
performances had to be impeccable or their fate might be worse than death. She
vaguely wondered just how she’d rate them.
Sky
did her best to smile and act as if what happened was one of the most exciting
things in her life when in reality it brought back some memories she’d rather
forget. Folding her hands in front of her, she closed her eyes and steadied her
breathing. She opened her eyes slow and caught a glimpse of a targeting laser.
The light was in a part of the spectrum that no one of this planet could even
see but her optics caught it.
Scanning
the crowd, she allowed her eyes to whirl, not caring who saw. There were not
supposed to be any Harvesters on this world as it had been declared too
primitive to even be included in the Alliance of Planets. She came here because
she knew this was the one place her mother wouldn’t think to look. Now, she
knew another Tyrsatian walked the same world as she did, occupying the very
same room.
Maybe
it was time to see just what type of trouble Angela got herself into. Leaning
across the table, she quickly gave Jayne her phone number and said her goodbyes
to all the others present. Rising slowly, she didn’t want to alert the other
Harvester but she was just far enough away and at a weird angle to not see who
it might be. Moving quickly to the back wall, she moved to where she stood way
behind the woman but close enough to see who it was.
Jesata
Ardik. Of all the Harvesters to show up on her new home planet, one of the most
relentless in the business had to land on her new home. This wasn’t going to be
easy. She had to delay her from marking them because once they were marked, it
didn’t matter wherever in the universe they were, they would be considered
fugitives until captured and sold to the highest bidder. Meaning, she wouldn’t
be able to get them off world without the help of her mother.
