Writer’s Life: Lyn Cote

Welcome to another edition of Writer’s Life, my interview series with authors of sweet or inspirational romance novels. Today I’m blessed to have Lyn Cote on the blog! Lyn is an award-winning, multi-published author of contemporary and historical romance, and she’s also a generous writer who has helped many new authors like myself. Her new book, Blessing, the second in her historical romance series, Quaker Brides, came out this month!

Let’s get to it.

1. What about writing makes your heart sing?

I love it when my characters “take over” the story and start doing  and saying things I didn’t expect them to!

2. What is the biggest hurdle you’re facing right now as a writer?

Just keeping up with the demands of working with two publishers and also self-publishing books that don’t “fit” the traditional market but which I want to write.

3. What do you do to fill your creative well?

Where I live feeds my creativity. I live on a lake in the forest. Also I find trips–even day trips–energize my imagination.

 

4. What are you working on now?

I’m just finishing up work on my Quaker Brides series for Tyndale House. The second book in the series Blessing released July 1st. I’ve just finished a proposal for another series for Love Inspired Romance and also a novella that will come out in November. See I’m keeping busy!

Lyn, I’m amazed at how many books you’ve published and continue to publish! Congratulations on all your hard work and success. Living on a lake in the forest would definitely fill my creative well. I love long walks outdoors! Thank you so much for being my guest today!

Blessing ~

An impetuous love swept Blessing Brightman away from the Quaker community, into the highest ranks of Cincinnati society. But behind the glitter of ballroom and parlor, her spirit slowly eroded in an increasingly dangerous marriage. Widowed young, determined never to lose her independence again, Blessing reclaimed her faith and vowed to use her influence to fight for women’s rights and abolition.

Gerard Ramsay, scion of a wealthy Boston family, arrives in Cincinnati hoping to escape his father’s clutches with a strategy that will gain him independence. His plan is soon complicated, however, by the enchanting widow. Never before has a woman spoken as if she’s his equal—or challenged him to consider the lives of others.

In a city nearly ablaze with racial tensions quickly dividing the country, can two people worlds apart possibly find common ground?
