Hey y’all! My name is Lynn Blackburn. I write swoon-worthy Southern suspense, eat too much chocolate, drink too much coffee, do way too little CrossFit, and can’t live without books. You can learn more about me and my books here at my site and on Facebook, X, and Instagram.

Right now, I’m writing a series set in the fictional town of Gossamer Falls in Western North Carolina. I’m a Carolina girl and love writing stories set in this world.

My newest release is Break My Fall. Here’s what it’s about:

Dr. Meredith Quinn always planned to return to Gossamer Falls to practice dentistry. Now that she’s back home, she’s made it a point to offer clinics to children and adults in nearby underserved areas. Unfortunately, those same areas are known to harbor drug traffickers, and Police Chief Grayson Ward suspects that local law enforcement is looking the other way.

After too many losses, Grayson has closed off his heart. But when Meredith enters his life, his walls crumble, and he’s left exposed and vulnerable. To keep her alive, he must keep her close, but that makes it impossible for him to retreat and rebuild. Will she be the one who finally helps him emerge from isolation? Or will this force of nature leave him shattered?

Meredith is one of my favorite heroines ever. She’s crazy smart and wildly creative. She even makes flowers from wood!

Flowers made from wood? Yes, please!

Meredith creates beautiful floral arrangements from flowers made from wood. For her, it’s a creative outlet that gives her a way to express a different aspect of her personality. It’s a stress reliever … well, except for when it gets her sideways with some criminal elements…but…you’ll have to read Break My Fall for the details on that!

In real life, I have a friend who designs these arrangements. Her name is Christy Hart, and she’s the owner and creative force behind Bloomphoria. She takes flowers made from thin pieces of balsa wood, dyes them, and then arranges them. She makes arrangements of all sizes. I have one in my office, one on my piano, and my daughter’s prom corsage was also made by Christy. I wish I’d had something like these flowers for my own wedding!

When I was doing the research for Break My Fall, I went to Christy’s house to see her workshop. It’s a riot of color, dye, and arrangements in various stages of completion. Christy creates flowers for many weddings, and it was when she showed me her notebook filled with wedding designs that I got the idea to use Meredith’s florals and a wedding to bring everything to a head in Break My Fall.

As someone with very little sense of color and no skill with floral design, I loved being able to borrow this from my friend to give to Meredith!
