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!

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

Motherhood does not make me special
Posted on Monday, May 7th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Joy Dare, Mindful Mondays, Motherhood, My Life

For the month of May, I’m going to be focusing on motherhood—the joys and challenges unique to this particular calling. But before I do, I want to make one thing clear. Motherhood does not make me special. I know. Mother’s Day is in six days. (For the men who read my blog—and I really appreciate that… [ read more ]
Mindful Mondays :: Rejoice Until You’re Glad
Posted on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Devotion, Grace, Joy, Joy Dare, Mindful Mondays

Today’s blog post was supposed to be about something different. But that was before the day ran off the rails. I had big plans for this day. Some writing, some housework, some exercise, some laundry. I even made plans to get my day off on the right foot. I went to bed a little earlier… [ read more ]
Sometimes I Stink
Posted on Monday, April 9th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Easter, Grace, Joy Dare, Mindful Mondays, Sometimes I Stink

Sometimes I stink. (Okay, I stink a lot). Hmmm…maybe I should explain…. So far this morning, I’ve served hotdogs for breakfast (don’t ask), returned the contents of the silverware drawer to their rightful homes (Emma was, er, displeased, by my removal of her art installation), and reheated my first cup of coffee in the microwave… [ read more ]
Count it all joy?
Posted on Monday, March 19th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Count it all joy, Devotion, Joy, Joy Dare, Mindful Mondays, Suffering

I joined a gym last week. As I perused the group fitness schedule, I noticed a class called Intense Fit. My body said NO WAY but my brain pointed out that the handout specifically said the class was for “all levels” so it couldn’t be that bad. My body is still ticked that my brain won… [ read more ]
When the Miraculous Becomes Mundane
Posted on Monday, March 5th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Joy Dare, Mindful Mondays, Suffering, When the Miraculous Becomes Mundane

When you grow up in church, it’s so easy for the stories of Jesus to become—well—boring. After so much repetition, we lose our sense of wonder. The miraculous becomes mundane. When the wedding runs out of wine, we aren’t concerned. We know Jesus makes great wine. When the crowds are hungry, we aren’t worried about… [ read more ]

Please indulge me this Monday morning as we take a trip to the archives. My family is recovering from a 10 day battle with a nasty stomach virus. And I am recovering from some of the harshest criticism my writing has ever received. This post seemed appropriate. Grace and peace to all of you! Originally… [ read more ]

I hope for so many things. I hope the weather will be perfect for my child’s birthday party. I hope NCIS will never go off the air. I hope the cheesecake I had for dessert will go to fuel my brain instead of finding its way to my hips. I have no reason to believe any… [ read more ]
Thoughtful Thursdays :: Joy Dare 2012

A few months ago I posted a review of One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp . I’ve been counting gifts ever since. I’ve found it’s impossible to be grouchy and grateful at the same time so gift counting is something I wanted to be intentional about in 2012 . In December, I wrote about Joy . Joy in suffering . Joy in the Moment . Our real reason for Joy . So imagine my Joy when I discovered the Joy Dare for 2012 . An opportunity to… [ read more ]
