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

I had something else planned for today, but it can wait. Today, I would like to ask you to take the time you would normally spend reading this post to pray for Addie Reese and her family.

Detailed Directions? Not exactly…

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 ]
My Hardwood Heart

I hate carpet for one reason. You can’t clean it. You can get most of the spots out. But they’ll come back. Because they weren’t ever really gone. And that’s why I love the hardwood floors in my house. Herds of small children can run around carrying cups of purple grape juice and I don’t… [ read more ]

Hosea 10:12~ Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. (ESV) I hesitated to post this today for two reasons. 1. It’s such a First World Problem. Are you familiar with this concept? The… [ read more ]
How Intentional Have You Been Lately?

How intentional have you been lately? I’ve been hit-or-miss. Mostly miss. Which is a shame, since INTENTIONAL is my word for the year . As we discussed last week , there are a lot of areas in my life where I feel like I’m wandering. Housework, motherhood, writing, etc. And as we discussed, not all wandering is bad. Sometimes, wandering is the direct will of God. But… [ read more ]
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost
Posted on Tuesday, September 18th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Not all those who wander are lost, Walking On Water, Wandering

I’m a wanderer. I feel like I’m wandering in my own personal desert. Walking in circles. Retracing my steps. But never getting anywhere. I wander in my home. I had all the laundry caught up a few days ago. And I get to do it all over again today. I fixed supper last night.… [ read more ]

A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you how God had been revealing Himself to me —in everything from lost earrings to scheduling conflicts. I was thankful. I still am. But… Why is there always a but? But what happens when everything goes wrong? We don’t like to talk about that part. Because it isn’t pretty. Just a few days after that… [ read more ]
Does God Notice?

In the past few weeks, aside from all the usual amazing things He does (like keeping the earth traveling around the sun at precisely the correct angle to support life…you know…the usual), God has taken particular notice of me. I know He always notices. But in the past couple of weeks, He’s been obvious about it.… [ read more ]

First day of 1st grade Tomorrow is the first day of third grade for my sweet Emma, so I decided to revisit something I wrote two years ago—on the first day of first grade (isn’t there a Veggie Tales song in there?). **For those of you who might not know, Emma was born with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome .… [ read more ]

Where do you live? I don’t mean geographically. I mean day-to-day. Hour-by-hour. Minute-by-minute. I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and I’ve come to this conclusion. I live in that murky place where fear and faith collide. You might not realize this, but I know a few things about fear. I’m not afraid of heights, spiders,… [ read more ]
