Making a bucket list?
I was in the Cleveland area this week (crazy traffic). I knew I was near one of the great lakes when I was planning the route at least according to Google Maps. However, I was so focused on my book events, I didn't take the time to get to a viewing point where I could see the lake and maybe even touch it. This is the second time I've missed out seeing one of the big tourist stops. I've been 30 miles away from Niagara Falls and 25 miles away from the Grand Canyon. (If you driv

Sconed to Death - Release week
Okay, hold onto your hats. Sconed to Death releases on Tuesday which means there's a lot going on in Lynn's world. I hope you come and join me either in person or virtually. First off, if you live in the St. Louis area, my goal is to have visited all the B&N's to sign their stock by this coming Friday. Tuesday - I'll be chatting with the Between the Chapter's book club on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/betweenthechapters/ I'll also be hosting a Facebook release pa

A start of summer
The weather is turning warm and the thunder storms have started. I drove home yesterday in the rain from Chicago. The heavy, heavy traffic made the rain manageable since I didn't get up to the speed limit until the rain had slowed and I was closer to home. This year I'm going to make me a summer reading list. Just like the ones I had between school years. My plan is to read out of my own library. If I love the book, I can keep it. If not? It goes in the box to go to Goodwill

Bits and Pieces
I'm getting ready for a busy weekend. Well, actually, my life is double booked all the way through mid June. I'm getting ready for a big push for the upcoming release of SCONED TO DEATH. Saturday I'll be chatting with the murder mystery crew up in Chicago - Sulzer Public Library, 4455 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago. It's open to the public and books will be available for purchase and signing afterward. You can find out more here...http://www.sincchicago.com/events.html Stops in M

New Year's Resolutions
I did a week's worth of resolution planning on my Facebook page LynnCahoonAuthor this year. But you know me, I love my planning posts. I'm a little behind on my goals as we lost a family member last week. He was attacked in his own yard and after a week of trying, we realized he wasn't strong enough to fight back. #HomerLove #wreaked. But I'm still trying to hit my goals. First up? Finish Cat Latimer #6 and get it off my computer screen and on to my editors. That's always suc

Disappearing December
Is it just me or does it feel like this year has rushed by...I'm taking a long winter break from the day job starting next Friday and I've got so much to do before I can even start. But first, what have I done this year? I released three full size cozy mysteries along with three Tourist Trap novellas. Two of those novella's (A Deadly Brew and Santa Puppy, hit the USA Today list on release week.) I've written the other three novellas, a new Farm to Fork Mystery, a Tourist Trap

Cat Latimer returns in Slay in Character
It's here, it's here!! Slay in Character arrived yesterday at all online and bookstore venues. If you're near a local bookstore, I'd love to see a picture of Slay in the wild. Shoot me a snapshot. Slay was fun to write since the retreat group hits a historic Old West town for their pre-writing adventure. And of course, the shootout in the streets isn't the only death in the story. I hope you enjoy and please leave a review. Staying in character can be murder when Cat Latimer

The disappearing month...
June just got away from me. I've had some additional activities. We sold our boat after a week of two hundred plus inquiries on Facebook. I took a local class given by my RWA chapter. Later that day I gave myself food poisoning and lost two days. Bad bacon. Then I had a conference the next weekend. I've been having some medical issues (besides the food poisoning) and had to have a minor surgery. Oh, and my husband rolled the toy (side by side) during this crazy month. Long

A new cover - SLAY IN CHARACTER
Today kicked off right with a cover reveal on Dru's Book Musing. I so love this cover and it's getting great comments from readers. So what do you think? Staying in character can be murder when Cat Latimer and the members of her writers’ retreat head for a ghost town . . . Cat and the members of her writers’ retreat have just arrived in Outlaw, Colorado, an “Old West” tourist town complete with inhabitants dressed up as famous figures from history. But this authentic slice of
