Blackburn's Defend and Protect series is off with a bang in Unknown Threat. This heart-racing romantic suspense is one for the keeper shelf! Don your tactical vests and get ready to engage a compelling story that will forbid you from abandoning its pages. Do. Not. Miss. This. One! Ronie Kendig Bestselling, award-winning author of The Tox Files
Unknown Threat is a fantastic read! An action-packed opening and sharply drawn characters drew me right in and held me captive. Blackburn has an exceptional gift for weaving twisting plots with characters that walk right off the page. I absolutely adore Faith, the bright and stalwart FBI special agent. I love the attention to detail regarding Secret Service operations. The swoon-worthy romance between Faith and Luke is the perfect slow burn. Unknown Threat is an exciting start to a thrilling new romantic-suspense series!Elizabeth GoddardAward-winning author of the Uncommon Justice series
In Unknown Threat, Lynn Blackburn has created a page-turning novel with all the elements I've come to love in her books. The hero and heroine are unique and compelling, while surrounded by a rich cast that adds depth to the story. The suspense thread is intense and pulses with energy and pressure. And the romance? It's perfection, with tension to keep me rooting for the characters. It's a perfect read for those who love engaging stories that are threaded with hope.Cara PutmanAward-wining author of Flight Risk and Imperfect Justice
Lynn Blackburn has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite romantic suspense authors list! In Too Deep was much anticipated and it did not disappoint! I literally devoured this book in one sitting! Filled with suspense, action, and danger, this book kept me anxiously wondering what would happen next! I love the balance between suspense and romance! And this gang of characters, the dive team, is everything! BringingUpBooks
Leigh’s ability to rescue herself, Ryan’s respect and support, and a terrific cast of law-enforcement and hospital personnel make this vivid start of Blackburn’s Dive Team Investigations series a real page-turner.Booklist
Fans of Dani Pettrey’s “Alaskan Courage” thrillers will enjoy this nail-biter of a series opener, which will also be appreciated by romantic and psychological suspense fans.Library Journal
The author balances the personal relationships and the mystery well. Her descriptions are so vivid and accurate that you can see the scenes playing out before you . . . Lynn is definitely going to be a great new author to follow.More Than A Review

Nov. 11th, 2010 Paper, Diets and Other NaNoWriMo Hazards
I have a paper cut. It’s on the tip of my right index finger. Every time I type, pain shoots through my fingertip and hand. I press on because I’m tough. But it made me think of things we should avoid during NaNoWriMo . I’m not talking about the usual stuff writers give up—sleep, TV, video… [ read more ]
Nov. 4th, 2010 Have I Lost My Mind?
Have you lost your mind? These were the exact words my sister uttered when I announced my plans to participate in this year’s NaNoWriMo . She pointed out that I was busy. She pointed out that I don’t have time to do this. She pointed out that my decision making skills might be questionable. And then… [ read more ]
Nov. 1st, 2010 She Can Be Taught . . . Maybe
If you follow this blog regularly, then you know that September was a roller coaster for me. Lots of writing and editing, interspersed with ridiculous amounts of drama. But, I’m learning. Maybe. November is National Novel Writing Month. And the goal of NaNoWriMo is to encourage authors to finally write that novel. The goal? 50,000 words… [ read more ]
Oct. 26th, 2010 I Want More
There are a couple of things I really want. I’m not talking about the way I really want a mocha, or a slice of pizza, or to weigh less. Although, let’s face it, the mocha and pizza aren’t helping the weight issue at all. Neither is my Oreo addiction. But I digress. I’m talking about… [ read more ]
Oct. 12th, 2010 Directionally Challenged
I like detailed directions. Extremely detailed. If you ever need directions to my house, I don’t just say turn left on this street and right on that one. Oh no. I include important information such as “Approximately 8/10 of a mile after you turn left you’ll come to a curve that makes you feel like… [ read more ]

Oct. 1st, 2010 Finished

I can’t say that kind of thing happens to me all the time. But it did this time. Psalm 119, for those who… [ read more ]
Sep. 28th, 2010 Priorities
image courtesy of photobucket.com My blog has been fairly serious over the past few weeks. My life has, too. But I can’t be serious all the time and as my month long revision process winds down, I’ve been thinking of all the things I’ve given up in order to focus so totally on my manuscript.… [ read more ]
Sep. 21st, 2010 Lesson Lived
image courtesy of photobucket.com Several months ago, I wrote a piece about the importance of being prepared to put into practice whatever you blog about. Probably within twenty-four hours of your post. It happened again. I think I might be afraid of my own blog. If you didn’t read last Friday’s post , you’ll need to or this won’t make… [ read more ]
