PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND, LIZ FLAHERTY! Thanks for having me here today. When I was trying to come up with something new to talk about, it occurred to me that at my advanced age, I have undoubtedly talked about everything. Well, maybe not about brands in writing. Likely because I don’t have one. Even worse than that, I really don’t want one.

Lisabet Sarai has put together a boxed set that readers of lascivious love stories will be thrilled to read.I've enjoyed every one of her stories I've read, and if you're ready to be amazed and, shall we say, stimulated?

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND ELLA BRAEME!!! When I tell people what my new novella is about — a woman found walking down a highway, bruised, dazed, no idea who she is — the reactions split neatly in two. Half of them shudder. How terrifying. Everything gone? The other half get a faraway look. Everything? they ask. The unanswered emails too?

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND, DK COUTANT! About ten years ago, I had the adventure of a lifetime.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND, DARLENE FREDETTE!! A standalone novel can sweep you away for a few hours, but a series gives you a deeper connection. There’s something magical about opening the first book in a series. You think you’re stepping into a story, but before long, you realize you’ve stepped into a world. A well-crafted series doesn’t just entertain. It invites you to stay awhile.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND, IRIS BLOBEL!! Firstly, thank you so much for having me here at Lyndi’s Adventurous Friends. When I hear the word adventure, my mind immediately drifts to travel. For me it’s about discovery, atmosphere, and those quiet, unforgettable moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home. My husband and I have found that just across the water in New Zealand, where we love to explore by motorhome.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND LYNDA REES!!! As a child I played in an old mansion my friend’s family owned since it was built before the Civil War. It sat high above town about three miles uphill from the Ohio River. The house was unique for this tiny riverside town. Its notorious history and hidden secrets fascinated me. The steep hill behind was a perfect location for our toboggan and sled riding.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND PATRICIA KIYONO! I grew up in Western Michigan, and as a child I heard the folk tales and fairy tales most of us are familiar with. But my mom, growing up in Japan, heard very different stories. When I was young, mom’s sisters would often send us books and recordings of children’s stories and songs.

PLEASE WELCOME KATY EETEN and her new release A STALKER TO DIE FOR . Katy: Before I became a published author, I had many unfinished manuscripts saved on my computer just waiting to be finished and fully edited. A Stalker to Die For was one such manuscript. After publishing five contemporary Christian romances, I finally found the motivation and confidence to revisit this romantic suspense (my first attempt at that specific genre).

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND AMBER DAULTON!! Corrupting His Wife is a story about power imbalance and the dark side of love and obsession. These themes fit perfectly in the dark romance genre, particular mafia romance, so if your reading taste leans toward the dark, the gritty, and the intensely possessive, the latest installment in the Lozano Cartel series is exactly what your ereader needs.

This book celebrates the spirit of teen girls who have faced challenges and turned them into opportunities to uplift others. Each story is a glimpse into the life of a girl…

In Praise of Nerds by LISABET SARAI Since I joined the romance authors community, I've heard a lot about alpha heroes. Rugged but handsome features, broad shoulders, chiseled pectorals, powerful thighs that naturally invite musings about what lies sheltered between them – attributes like these apparently constitute the romance ideal. Our hero should also be physically strong, courageous, and generally the dominant type, though some sensitivity or a shameful secret will not be taken amiss.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND JILL CULINER!! Every writer — and potential writer — has them: manuscripts that were inspired, that had a great story, that were begun with enthusiasm… then fizzled out. We write ten pages, twenty, even a hundred, then all are shunted into a back drawer and forgotten (more or less). This is exactly what happened to my manuscript, …

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND KIM McMAHILL!!!! As one of Lyndi’s Adventurous Friends, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about adventure. The word adventure means something different to everyone. To some, an adventurous undertaking may be trying a new restaurant or hairstyle or diving into a thriller novel by a new author. To others, true adventure can only be obtained by climbing Mount Everest.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND ELLA BRAEME!!!! She never planned to fall for a younger man. He never expected to fight for a future with her.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND SHEILA HANSBERGER! I’ve been a successful artist for over 40 years, dealing with clients, galleries, and exhibits. Why would I trade that for a new career as an author? I didn’t completely, but I did set aside my paintbrushes for a while. Creating art is something within my soul...something I’ve done most of my life. As a young child, I would almost drool at the thought of using a new box of crayons, still sharp with factory-pointed tips and intact paper wrappers.

One of the newest ways promoters are trying to grab the attention of authors and get hold, more importantly, of their marketing budget, are these marvelous letters touting the wonder of the authors' books. For example: Dear Lyndi, I recently came across Betrayed, and it immediately caught my attention. The blend of science fiction, mystery, and emotional intensity is masterfully done.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND SUSAN HARRIS HOWELL!! “I don’t want to drive late at night in this storm,” she says. “I’ll wait until morning when it clears up.” “I’ll drive. It’s no problem,” he says. So what just happened here? Did she lack confidence? Or did he have too much? People who study gendered behavior report that in situations often considered “masculine” (like driving at night through a storm, for instance) women tend to feel less confident, men more confident.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND, KAREN CINO! Finding love later in life is hard. Real hard. When I moved down to the Jersey Shore ten years ago, I knew I was right at home. I enjoy summer, the hotter the weather, the better, and I love to take long walks by the shoreline. Writing beach-themed settings has been the most rewarding for me.

PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND LUCY NAYLOR KUBASH!!! My adventure began with a trip out West some years ago. Our son lived near the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming at the time, and we traveled there in the summers to see him and to visit all the amazing sites in that state. I’d already written a book set in that area, and was thinking about doing a sequel.
