Hey y’all! If you don’t already know me, I’m Lynn and I’m thrilled you’re here. I write swoon-worthy southern suspense, eat too much chocolate, drink too much coffee, and do too little CrossFit. I love Jesus, and I can’t live without books. As so often happens, eventually  reading the books turned into writing the books. And here we are! And because I’ve always loved my romance injected with a healthy dose of danger, it only made sense for me to write romantic suspense. 

Here’s a little bit about Never Fall Again, the first book in my new Gossamer Falls series.

Landry Hutton, the quiet artist-in-residence of The Haven, came to Gossamer Falls to build a new life and a new home for her and her daughter. But when danger threatens them, can handsome former Marine Callum Shaw help protect both their hearts and their lives?

When I sat down to write Never Fall Again, I chose to give both the hero and the heroine creative skills that I don’t possess. But, I’m blessed with friends who are far more talented than I am! So I asked them for help, and they delivered!

The Heroine – Landry Hutton

Landry is the artist-in-residence at an exclusive resort. She teaches guests painting, sculpture, and pottery classes and creates beautiful work to sell. In order to learn more about pottery, I went to see Darlene Brady at The Dirt Dauber Pottery. She’s been a friend of our family for years and is a phenomenal teacher. It was pure delight to throw some clay on the wheel and create in a way that was not natural for me. She answered my questions, showed me her work, and took hours out of her day to help me bring Landry to life in an accurate way. 

The Hero – Cal Shaw

Cal is a contractor/construction manager by day, but on the weekends, he takes reclaimed lumber and electrocutes it! The idea for his creative pursuits came from our friends at Turned and Burned, the brainchild of brothers Jason and Russ Hart. They take fallen trees and reclaimed lumber and turn them into bowls, vases, lamps, and other beautiful pieces. Then, they run an electrical current through the wood, which burns unique patterns and creates one-of-a-kind items. I own several pieces, and hanging out with Jason and Russ was a delight. I’m always happy when I’m breathing in sawdust, and it was exciting to watch several pieces receive the shock that makes them stand out.

You can find The Dirt Dauber Pottery on Facebook, and if you’re in central North Carolina, you should pay Darlene a visit! You can find Turned and Burned on Facebook and their website. They make seasonal pieces and are frequent exhibitors at craft fairs in and around the Upstate of South Carolina.

If you’d like to see how the pottery and wood work found their way to the page, you can read all about it in Never Fall Again, available now in your preferred format from your favorite retailer!

    I love pottery and woodworking but can’t do it either. I always focused on papercraft and material. I love rubber stamps, paper, and pens. Maybe this is why I write too. LOL!
