Chatter from Our Authors

Hello-

Happy Holidays. I was just wondering if you received a brand new Kindle for the holidays? Or maybe you just got a gift card to Amazon and the little sucker is burning a hole in your pocket…?

Well, look no further. I know exactly what you should do. Buy some books by Lynn Carmer! They are great ebooks that hold all the punch of a print book at a fraction of the price. (Imagine I am saying this in my best used car salesman voice-ha!)

Do you like Contemporary Romance? Then try my Victoria Bay Series which is a fictional beach town near Los Angeles. It includes sexy surfers, slightly uptight lawyers and lots of steamy beach scenes. Yum!:

Just for Tonight (Book 1)

Just Don’t Go (Book 2)

How about Paranormal Romance? Have you ever had a feeling you can’t resist, drawing you to a location, the only place you ever feel at peace? Well, my main character does- and she discovers a 7 foot statue that she can’t keep her hands off of. Thankfully, he morphs into a practically naked, hunky man who has declared her his Lasted. Try:

The Lasting (Book 1)

Hunger for the Dark (Book 2) COMING SOON

How about a Paranormal Romance with a sci/fi – fantasy twist? Welllll- on the planet of fire and ice a trapped princess is set to marry a man she’s never seen. The same night – a giant is brought in- from a race of people more animal than man. She sets him free and her reward?- he kidnaps her. Now she’s fighting two equally strong desires- to wrap her hands around his neck and strangle him OR wrap her hands around his um, er… well, you get the drift If that sounds tantalizing- try:

Fervor

Seriously, Happy Holidays- I hope you love those Kindles and use them as often as possible. And maybe you can fit some of my books in along the way.

Ciao for now,

Lynn Carmer

What a crazy year! In a million different ways but I think I’ll just concentrate on the writing part of things.

It’s been a challenge. The follow-up book to The Lasting- Hunger for the Dark- has been a labor of love. World building for paranormal romance is insane! There is just layer after layer- and I want it to be good.

I feel like a huge part of the book is still floating around in my head but really it’s just more good stuff for Book 3. Which I can not even think of at this moment. I’m still immersed in Hunger for the Dark!

Contemporary romance has its own challenges but at least you don’t have to create a whole new world that the characters live in Although that can also be the really fun part of paranormals. If it weren’t for damn deadlines (grumble, grumble).

Just a tiny bit of reflection as 2011 winds down. I haven’t done as many conventions this year and I have learned they are important for a few reasons. One really big one being- it is a huge motivation. I love seeing my writing buddies and meeting fans. Such a rush- I find myself sustained for a good two to three months on the afterglow.

So- the next big convention- you ask? It’s going to be RT for 2012 in amazing Chicago. I’m so excited! I hope to see you there.

Love,

Lynn

Hi-

Writing with some bad new. I originally thought Hunger for the Dark: Book 2 in The Lasting Series would be out by the end of this year. Looks like it’s been moved to the beginning of next year. So sorry!

I don’t have an exact date but as soon as I know- you’ll know.

But what I will say is I’m really proud of this book. I have delved so much deeper in the Gargoyle/Mooncaller/Fiend world. Further explanation and connections are made. PLUS a few surprises to keep you tantalized.

Be patient and I hope the book will be worth the wait.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Love, Lynn Carmer

I can’t believe what a journey it is to be a writer. One book finished, then on to the next but…Why are some books so much harder to write than others?

I know about the concept that some characters are stronger and just jump off the page and write themselves but this is different. The story itself is deep and on a neverending swirl.

The characters remain the same but each scene is half written and then some crucial element occurs to me and I must rewrite the scene and the one before.

I don’t think it’s the usual indecision on my part. This story has a strange life of its own that is constantly changing, and it’s driving me crazy!

My only hope is that the shifting plot will add depth and dimension to the story because I’ll have written it from so many different angles.

(Sigh) I’m not complaining …exactly All right- I am a little. It’s just, I’ve never written a book like this before. Sometimes it feels like I’m writing my first book again.

Well, back to work. Don’t forget to take a look at:

Just Don’t Go my latest Victoria Bay Novel and

The Lasting. Book 1 of my Gargoyle series. Book 2 Hunger for the Dark is at the whim of my publisher for release dates but it should be out soon.

Hello Everybody,

Just Don’t Go is the second in my Victoria Bay series. I feel like I’ve been neglecting the series because I’ve been so immersed in my current paranormal series.

Why do I always do this to myself? Just as I should be in the heart of a story, invariably my old characters, from a completely different series, start creeping in. I should be focused on shapeshifters and mooncallers, NOT hunky beach boys and California sunsets.

So this is a mini purge, although I can’t let them go completely. Toni, you must wait before you reveal the secret that’s been eating away at you for years. Mad, you must be patient before you pounce on the only girl you’ve ever loved. You’re just going to have to wait a little while longer.

Meanwhile… my winged lovely’s await and want their side of the story told in Hunger for the Dark (The Lasting Book 2)

Wish me luck…

Lynn
