Lyn Asks the April Question

booksbylyncote.com Posted on March 18, 2024 by Lyn CoteMarch 18, 2024
Loving Against All Odds

Do you Enjoy Real History

or What Hollywood Dreamed up?

The April Question is: Do you enjoy reading and “learning” about the true history of the West? I love doing historical research. (I have a Master’s Degree in American history.) I love reading eye witness accounts of actual events and digging into what really happened, not what Hollywood “dreamed up.” How about you? Do you have any pet peeves about this? I have some!  Please leave your pet peeves here–ie, what have you seen on the screen you thought could not be accurate?.

Tease: Did you know that from 1821 to 1846 that Texas was

  1. a Spanish colony
  2. part of the Mexican Republic
  3. a sovereign nation and finally
  4. part of the USA!

That many changes in such a short span of time gives my characters A LOT to survive and thrive through.I can’t wait to take you on the journey  life and loves of the people of Texas—all of them in my series, LONE STAR COURAGE. –Lyn

As usual a few commenters will receive a free ebook!

Lyn Reviews A Christmas Mystery in Venice…

booksbylyncote.com Posted on January 20, 2024 by Lyn CoteJanuary 20, 2024

 

A Christmas Mystery in Venice and Other Winter Tales : 3 Short Stories (The Homeswappers)A Christmas Mystery in Venice and Other Winter Tales : 3 Short Stories by Adriana Licio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A delightful collection of three short stories featuring the basset hound, Leon and his to bipeds: Dora and Etta. Each setting was charming and distinctive, and each story intriguing and a bit finger nail biting. A great collection. A light holiday read!

Lyn Asks the January 2024 Question!

booksbylyncote.com Posted on December 11, 2023 by Lyn CoteDecember 10, 2023

Our January Question will not be about New Year’s Resolutions!

I’m surprising you with a spring-summer-ish question to brighten January! (Or it might be apropos if you live farther south than I do. ‘-)

What kind of garden do you have—casual, formal, floral or mostly veggie? What plants to you favor? (Mine is presently under snow–but I remember!:-)

My upcoming February contemporary sweet romance, KAT’S STRICTLY BUSINESS PARTNER, the final book in “The Preacher’s Daughters”series is about a young woman who inherits a garden nursery and is vexed to need a business partner! So let’s start thinking green!

Kat's Strictly Business Partner

Well, hope you all enjoy Christmas and New Year’s and keep safe!—Lyn

Lyn Reviews Richard Houston’s A View to Die For

booksbylyncote.com Posted on November 16, 2023 by Lyn CoteNovember 16, 2023

 

A View to Die For (To Die For #1)A View to Die For by Richard Houston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I hadn’t realized that I had read two other books in the “to die for” series. The cover is dominated by a large, shaggy dog, not like the Disney classic, just a big furry canine. Anyway, that’s Fred who does not have a point of view and it’s just a big, lovable pet. The cast of characters are definitely not the kind of people I usually hang around with, and I had sympathy for the hero, amateur detective, since he WAS able to think logically. I understood why he moved away from his family! Anyway, very twisty Turny plot with plenty of red herrings, and a fun dog!
