The Lindy Lewis Diaries: Merry Christmas everyone.

The Lindy Lewis Diaries: Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I wish to thank all of you readers who support my writing.  It has been a long time (2007) since my first endeaver brought forth Nightmares and Dreams, and since then, I have been fortunate to have been able to publish one a year.  After book six, (SILENCE), I sent Lindy Lewis on a vacation with her love Reed, and created a new novel with new characters, that originates in Birch Lake as well.
MOONBEAMS will be out in the fall of 2013 and I know you will all be anxious to read about Daisy O'Dell, a blonde, slim, independent manicurist.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Lyn Miller Lacoursiere

ps; I might add, MOONBEAMS TOO, is in the works!

Whats there to do? (Billy's favorite complaint growing up)

Writing is a wonderful adventure for me. And at my age and circumstance, I need to keep busy and have a focus. For me, its to go to my computer each and almost every morning to write. Usually I'm in the midst of a novel, but sometimes I just need to take a breath and write something different. Like letters, e-mails or a short story. Recently, after I had wrapped up a new novel to be out the fall of 2013, I thought I should spend a month on learning the mysteries, the "in and outs" of marketing using the internet, as all my six paperbacks are also e-books. And yes, I know it is the way of the future. Well, its still a mystery to me. As authors, we certainly support each others work, but we don't usually take or have the time to read too much of that work. To get to know these authors and hope they will want to get to know us, to then tell thier friends to look us up, seems an awful long road of "maybe's". But what is a better way to get our work out there? Hire a sales force? Sell out of the trunk of our car? Can't I just stay here in my safe cocoon and just write? Won't the avid readers out there find me? No? Comments please Thanks Lyn
