Hi Lynn, ho letto da pochi giorni il vostro romanzo e mi ha molto interessato. L'unica cosa che mi ha deluso è stato il finale che assomiglia ai film di 007. Hai avuto proposte per farne la sceneggiatura e un bellissimo film d'azione? Mi puoi rispondere a l.angeleri@libero.it. Io sono Liliana Angeleri.
Lynn Sholes Hello Liliana,
I am sorry, I do not speak Italian but I did get your comment translated. Thank you for your comment. Which book are you referring to? I wish there would be a movie made. That would be wonderful.
Let me know which you read.
All best,
Lynn

Hi Lynn, Thanks for contacting me. I would love to read some of your books, but I am strictly an audio book listener and didn't see any of your books available in that format. I am currently listening to Blood and Thunder...very interesting. Thanks, Brett ?
Lynn Sholes Thanks Brett. Unfortunately we don't have them in audio. Appreciate your interest. Maybe you know someone who might want to give it a shot. Thanks again for taking the time!

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Lynn Sholes Write through it even when you think it is awful. Something will click at some point. Then you can go back and revise. Remember there is a time for everything-to plan, draft, revise (that concerns the content), and edit (that means the grammar and punctuation).

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Lynn Sholes Do your homework. Attend writers' conferences and attend as many panels as you can. Join writing critique groups. Join writer organizations. Study how a writer does something in text--something that moved you--something that made a scene vivid--the way an author structures his sentences or a single sentence--an author's choice of words. Think, why did he/she do it that way or use those words? What other choices did he/she have? And think, when you would use it in your writing. Read. Read. Read. Write. Write. Write.

How do you get inspired to write?

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Lynn Sholes I have always been interested in the Roswell incident. Then after reading an article about the possibility of a Smithsonian coverup of a place called Kincaid's Cave, the story began rolling. My co-writer, Joe more and I developed the plot using those two things as story sparks.
