Today’s guest is Lynette Eason, a newer Love Inspired Suspense author.
Lynette, you’re a fairly new author, tell us about what’s been going on since you got “THE CALL.”

“A Silent Fury releases September 2009 and A Silent Pursuit comes out in November 2009. I have two books releasing pretty close together so that should be interesting. A Silent Fury is book 2 in the series that really doesn’t have a name. I call it the deaf family series and I think Amazon calls it The High Stakes Series. I’m not sure where they got that name as it was never officially named that. Anyway, I’m very excited about these two books and the two I’ve just sold to Steeple Hill will also have characters from the series. I decided I’d just continue it until I ran out of stories to tell. LOL.

The blurb on the back is: ONE DEAD. ONE TAKEN. Tragedy strikes Palmetto Deaf School–twice. With one student murdered and another missing, it’s up to homicide detective Catelyn Clark to find the killer–and probable kidnapper–fast. She’ll even work with her ex-boyfriend, FBI agent Joseph Santino, to solve the case…while keeping her distance. Relationships between cops never work; her parents taught her that. They also taught her that the only one she can rely on is herself. But when the killer starts targeting Catelyn, it’s only by opening her heart to faith–and love–that she can finally bring the silent fury to an end.”

Between the time you wrote that first novel that you’ve been known to call “awful,” and the traditional publishing of your first Love Inspired book, what did you do to make that come about? What made the difference?

“I can’t say there was any one thing that made the difference. We’re talking an eight year time period where I was learning every day, going to conferences, studying what agent and editors were looking for, honing my skills. That was the big one. Constantly writing and putting it out there for critiques, entering contests and implementing the feedback, etc. I think it was just a combination of all of that that made the difference.”

Please tell us about yourself (What makes you unique?).

“I’m a writer, that makes me pretty unique. LOL. No, seriously, I don’t guess I think I’m all that different than anyone else. I’m a mom, a wife, a writer and a child of God. I love the written word and I enjoy spending time with my family. I love the rain and hate the summer! (Bugs and bees just don’t do it for me.) “

Of the books you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

“I think it would be A Silent Fury, out in September. I’m not sure why it’s my favorite, but I think it’s because of the emotional depth I managed to achieve in my heroine. My life was nothing like hers, of course, but as I was writing her character and her angst, I FELT it. It was really strange, but I connected with her for some reason and as a result, I grew closer to God. That book will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason.”

Anything else?

Thanks, Lyn, for having me on your blog. I appreciate it!!
