Maddie: Tell us a little about yourself.
Lyn: I come from
Maddie: You have a new book out. We’d love to hear about it.
Lyn: Yes, I do have a new book out, THE LAST CELTIC WITCH. It is the first book of the Celtic Series.
Plagued by enemies and undermined by sabotage, handsome Laird Phillip Roberts must save his clan from a bloody feud with an alliance through marriage … a marriage he does not want. After a night of white-hot sensual delights with the alluring witch, his heart commands he break the pledge of peace. With treachery around every corner, will he be too late to save … The Last Celtic Witch?
Maddie: You’ve just sold your first book. How exciting! We’d love to know the details.
Lyn: When Jessica Berry, Editor of Resplendence Publishing, called me to say she wanted to offer me a contract, I thought she was kidding. I was waiting for her say, "Ha, ha, had you fooled." LOL. When it finally hit me she was deadly serious, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait for her to get off the phone so I could scream the house down.
Maddie: What advice do you have for aspiring writers?
Lyn: Join a writers group and find a critique partner. Not only will these people help you learn the craft of writing, but they will support you when times are rough. And believe me, not too many writers can boast of being published without receiving countless rejection letters from publishers. I feel only another writer can understand the heartache of getting rejection after rejection for their manuscript. Even more important is to be persistent. Never give up, no matter what. Being published is a numbers game, the more times you submit, the better your chances of finding a publisher who loves your work.
What is your next project?
I am currently working on the second book in the Celtic Series, THE WITCH AND THE SORCERER. It follows the life of Gavenia Roberts, Adela’s daughter from “The Last Celtic Witch”. A bored and powerful witch, Gavenia wishes to explore the world, but is kept safely behind the walls of her parent’s adobe,

Sounds like a very interesting read. Great advice too. I've not had as much luck with critgue groups as some authors I know, but I agree a few great crit partners/beta readers are invaluble.
Thanks Moondancer.

Book signings, here I come. LOL
