“Sometimes I wish I were a sponge so I could soak up all those wonderful books out there. Heaven MUST be a huge lending library with cozy corners where we can curl up and read to our hearts content. Of course, tea would be served in china cups.
"I believe I began writing almost as soon as I learned to read. I completed my first short story when I was ten years old. It was awful! I've gotten a lot better since then. Part of that is education. By that, I mean specific writing classes. Many, many of those. And books on writing. I have a library full. Those wouldn't have helped a bit, though, if I hadn't kept writing, writing, writing. Like most writers, I became discouraged from time to time, but never enough to give it up. I don't think a true writer CAN give it up. It's like the words build up inside me until they have to find an outlet. Mine is fiction.
"Writing is creation. It's intriguing to see how your characters develop as the story develops. They're rarely predictable. I don't try to control their actions. I let them lead me through the story. They know best where they're going."
Lynda resides in Snellville, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. Though this native Floridian now lives miles from any ocean, her heart and soul remain firmly planted at the seashore.
Check out her website for the story of her love affair with a ten-mile stretch of beach along the east coast of Florida. You’ll also find lots of pictures that she’s taken of her beloved Melbourne Beach, as well as reviews of June 2007 release, If Truth Be Told, and information about her upcoming works. There's a blurb about Of Words & Music, which was released in March 2009, and her first in a mystery series, LIVE Ringer, which should hit the bookstores in January 2010. You'll find excerpts from both published novels there.
