A HEART OF STONE-Free Ebook Sale Ends July 3rd—
A baby girl’s future hangs in the balance and sparks a heart-rending family mystery~
After Cash’s sister dies, she leaves her infant in her best friend Jane’s care. Cash asks why but to avoid a legal custody battle, grudgingly agrees to raise his young niece alongside Jane. Can the two overcome their differences–and build a new family together? Only if his heart of stone can be softened. A faith-filled, second chance romance with a touch of mystery. “What a scenario for a custody battle. Expected a different kind of mystery. Was surprised but certainly not disappointed.

Could they work things out for Angie’s best?”

Lyn Reviews Heather Haven’s Iced Diamonds!
Iced Diamonds by Heather Haven
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have enjoyed the first 3 the Persephone Cole vintage mysteries by Heather Haven. I love the characters. Persephone is interesting, unusual and smart! I love her family, her dysfunctional family, and how they love each other. Her little boy Oliver is just a treat. I also love the WW2 historical setting-done so well. A NYC of long ago I’m sure. And of course all of her mysteries are so intricate and I love that I can’t figure out who the villain is till the end–the surprising end! I can’t wait to dive into the next one, Hot Shot Shamus!

Lyn Asks the June Question
Lyn Asks: Does Your Pet Do This?
As most of you know, I have two brother kitties, rescued from the shelter. Anyway, they are maturing (2 years old in Feb) and changing. But they are doing something I’ve never had a pet do. They no longer ask me to play with them. Now they play with little fluffy mice and other soft little toys. Their fave? A small bedraggled stuffed heart. Anyway they sleep with us now; I enjoy having a cat cuddled near me. But in the morning I find that they’ve brought one of their “toys” to bed with them like a child and a stuffed animal! Do yours to something like this? That’s the FUN question for this month. Please leave your reply here. I want to know! How special AKA different are my two!!-Lyn

Lyn Asks the June Question
Well, what’s the June question?
I’m thinking back to when Westerns were popular on TV and in movies. Not so much in the recent past. Trends go in and out. Anyway, do you have any favorite Western stories either on TV, movies or books?
I loved to read the late Louis L’Amour. His grandfather lived in the end of the old West and many authors use his books as research for how people in the West lived. Interesting. Anyway my favorite story of his is Conagher, a rather strange title, right? Conagher is a hero and this is a real life slice of the Old West and a heartfelt romance. I’ve read it many times and it was made into a TV movie. So do you have a favorite book or movie or TV series that takes place in the West? Please share here.
Book 1 of my “Lone Star Courage” series, Loving Against All Odds is available now for pre-order for $1.99 till release on June 18th!
Lyn Says Look at My New Book!
New Historical Series debuts June 18th!
Loving Against All Odds,
Book 1
of “Lone Star Courage” series
From fashionable New Orleans society, Miss Della Mott is now bound for frontier Spanish Texas where anything might happen. At twenty-five and never interested in marriage, she is glad finally to be considered “on the shelf.” But her plans for independence in Louisiana have failed and now her very life may be in danger.
The panic of 1819 destroyed many fortunes, including Della’s stepfather’s plantation. When he hears of Stephen Austin’s agreement with Spain to allow angloamericanos to settle on free land in colonial Texas, the impulsive man packs up the family, slaves, and their remaining possessions in wagons, traveling north along the trading route to Texas. Della, the realist, knows she can’t depend on her inept, volatile stepfather. Who will provide the protection and guidance they will need to survive?
Quinn, son of an American scout and a Cherokee mother, is heading home to Texas. He has failed in obtaining a thoroughbred colt in New Orleans. Along the way he meets with Della’s family. He is struck by her dignity and strength. But he has decided not to marry. Both his parents died before they reached forty. The frontier is too dangerous to start a family. And he is of mixed blood.
But he also recognizes that Della’s stepfather will lead them into disaster and perhaps death. He can’t ignore her need. And so begins their unspoken alliance into wild frontier Texas.
Unfortunately someone else’s twisted agenda will endanger them all.

Lyn Asks the April Question
So what will be the April question? I don’t know if you realize this, but I write in what’s called three different subgenres. My main genre is Christian romance. (BTW some other genres are fantasy or mysteries or suspense.) My three subgenres:
- I write contemporary romances such as my “The Preacher’s Daughters” and “New Neighbor Lane” series.
- I write romantic suspense, such as my “Northern Intrigue,” “Northern Shore, Intrigue” and “Opposites Attract” series.
- And I also write historical romance with an emphasis on true events.
April Quesion: I’m interested. Which one of these three do you enjoy most and why? Do you read two or all three or only one? Please click here and let me know. I am interested.–Lyn
Lyn Reviews Heather Haven’s The Dagger Before Me
The Dagger Before Me by Heather Haven
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Dagger Before Me, by Heather Haven was the first book I have read by this author. The subtitle for the 3 book box set of the first three in the series is “Blazing a Trail as one of Manhattan’s first female gumshoes.” Percy, short for Persephone, Cole, lives on the lower East side of New York City in the early 1940s. Miss Haven has the period hard-nose PI down to a T (despite the fact that Percy is plump, 5’11” and is a single mom). Despite these factors, Percy is so much like the early Perry Mason—so audacious and always skating close what’s legal and what isn’t. (If you’d like to read an early Erle Stanley Gardner try The Case of the Shoplifter’s Shoe.) Altogether this first book in the series really charmed me, entertained me. And kept me guessing! I’m now reading book 2 Iced Diamonds. I’m so glad that she offered this 3 book box set on sale-one the ways I discover new authors!
