Just a jpg would be perfect!!! Would that work? Thank you!!

Lynn Walker There is no way to attach the jpg to this question/answer thread. Is there an email where I can send it?

Hello! Totally random question for you: would you be able to send me a photo of the SPINE of your book Three Days Earlier? I am making mini books of all of my TBR books and I can't seem to locate a picture of the spine of your book. I can find the front and the back. Again, random question, but I figured no's are free. 😉 Thanks again and I can't wait to read another one of your books!!!

Lynn Walker Sounds fun! Are you looking for a snapshot, 3D image or just a jpg of the spine only?

Thanks for your interest in my book!

I received Midnight Calling today in the mail. I can't wait to read it. I think the note you included was extremely sweet. I will leave a review once I am done reading it. Hoping to start it by this weekend.?

Lynn Walker So glad you got the book! Enjoy.

How do you get inspired to write?

Lynn Walker Reading other books that draw me into the story. Talking with other writers. Writers retreats away from my home, family, laundry, cats, dog. . . And always sit down at the computer in the morning with a cup of kick-ass decaf coffee (hey, if I'm not gonna get a buzz from it, it has to at least taste really good) and a few pieces of dark chocolate.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lynn Walker I got my estranged dad to finally talk to me about his infamous life as a Miami undercover narcotics agent-turned-drug smuggler. I had questions that had been burning inside me for a decade. Once I heard his story, I then had a book burning to see the light of day. To my surprise, when he read a draft, he loved it and wanted me to try to publish it!

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lynn Walker I slide the purring, furry beast off my keyboard!

Seriously, I start typing whatever comes out of my mind until the gears click into place. I was never able to write in one hour blocks; I need at least 3 hour blocks to get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes I shift to doing social media posts, so I'm still creating & discussing writing. Deadlines for a writer's group critique are also very motivating for me
