Last to Fall is in my house!

I had a fun surprise this Saturday afternoon! I knew the warehouse had them, but I didn’t expect them to arrive so soon! Such a fun treat!

There’s never, ever, ever a bad day to find boxes of books on your doorstep!

Mo and Bronwyn were hard. This time last year, I was pulling my hair out over these two.

And now, here they are. All pretty and put together like they didn’t run me ragged.

Here’s the unboxing video!

Don’t forget! You can snag Last to Fall from Baker Book House and you’ll receive a signed book plate, a sticker, a bookmark, and 40% off plus free shipping.
Fine print: US residents/addresses. While supplies last.

Grace and peace,

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!

The Stop #10 Basics:

If you’re interested, you can order Break My Fall from your favorite local bookstore, Baker Book House, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, ChristianBook, or any of the other online retailers.

Clue to Write Down: time of year.

March Social Media Roundup

Welcome to this month’s collection of highlights from my social media! For those of you who prefer to stay connected through the blog, this roundup ensures you don’t miss anything!

Highlights

Granny Quinn’s prayer journal has been a popular feature this year! Just wait until she shares her prayers for Mo and Bronwyn…:)

I love my #WackyWednesday posts so much. They’re silly and goofy and yet, sometimes, eerily accurate! I mean, really, potatoes are a superfood!

I created a reel that has had more views than just about anything I’ve ever posted! As a mom to teenagers, I get a real kick out of using their slang – they hate it and tell me to “stop” and “never say that again” on a regular basis. LOL! So I asked an AI to generate book reviews of Break My Fall using Gen Z slang, and y’all…it did not disappoint!

I also shared multiple quotes from Break My Fall! If you haven’t snagged your copy, now’s a great time!!
