About Me

My Photo
Well let’s see. I was born during the Blizzard of 1978 in Lima, Ohio. I have lived in Ohio all my life. I like it here. We have corn fields instead of oceans, overpasses instead of mountains and fog instead of smog. Sure it's not the promise land, but sometimes one doesn't need postcard worthy beauty on the outside to have it elsewhere. I'm a writer for fun, a Paralegal for profession, and while one pays the bills, one feeds my imagination, or perhaps my imagination feeds my writing...either way, Writing is as much of who I am as the color of my eyes, or the way that I smile. Blogs are great communication tools, and I'm here to communicate with YOU...yeah, you who's reading this right now....*assuming anyone's out there* *crickets chirp* Alrightee then, IF anyone should find themselves here, be it by accident or on purpose, welcome, glad to have you aboard. Throw anchor, stay awhile! Sunshine & Smiles, ~Heather Lynn~

Rabecca Reads - An Honest Review, from a darling Book Reviewer!

Isn't she just adorable?  I don't know Becca personally, we've never met, and I was terrified when I found out she would be reading and reviewing Dead in A Ditch.  Ok, not totally terrified, more like 40% super excited, and 60% terrified.  To my relief, and delight, she liked it!

So thankful for Becca for taking a chance on an indie author like me!

If you want someone to give you really good book recommendations, look her up on your YouTube channel and subscribe, like and follow!!


As a thank you for taking a chance on me, I sent her "The Ordeal"...HOPEFULLY she will like it as much!  *fingers crossed* 
I'll likely have heartburn and insomnia between now and whenever she has time to pull The Ordeal off her TBR pile, but well, that's just now neurotic writers are when they know someone's about to read their work!  

We are THE bravest (FOR WRITING) & most ridiculously insecure (WHEN IT COMES TO LETTING SOMEONE READ WHAT WE WROTE) souls to ever walk the earth!  Please bear with us during this difficult time! 

*winks*



I just love her!  
Look at that face!
I mean, C'mon!  Follow her already!  
You know you want to!
Your next book might be one of her recommendations.

TikTok




     As a woman in her 40's, in an ever evolving world of technology, one has to try to keep up, in order to stay visible in the sea of millions upon millions of books out there to read, and author's out there wanting to be your new favorite, one must try new approaches in order to keep yourself in the mix of options when deciding what to read next.  INSERT introduction to TIKTOK here.

    My friend Jessica said, you have to get on TikTok, and as a writer and with the phenomenon known as BookTok, I thought, sure, what's ONE MORE social media platform to try out and remember a log-in and password for.  Sometimes I can't remember why I walked to the kitchen, but sure, why not add on another thing I need to remember to check, to friend or not to friend, to like/comment on, the clicking never stops, however I am a curious soul, and I find "experiments" fascinating, so I took to TikTok and just wanted to see if it would stir up some new book sales.  I mean, why not right?  I'm not out anything if none are had.

    So I've been diligent, I've posted videos, I've commented on people's stuff, and added people and followed others, and so far, I have to say, it's pretty underwhelming, unless you count the non-stop barrage of people popping into my DM's asking me to read their book, to let me let them create cover art, and last but not oddly enough, "how old are you?"  Um, is that because I'm about to be propositioned for sex, or because they want to see if I'm old enough to enter into a binding contract of some sort?

    Maybe I'm just too old for TikTok, I gave it a go, but I'm just not sure its for me.

    Other writers/friends/book lovers out there, what do you think, should I stay or should I go? 


Yours,

~Heather Lynn~
