Process Progress Publication

2022 Goals

January 6, 2022 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

There’s soooo much I want to do in 2022!

I’ve got a couple of doozies like publishing 6 or 7 books and buying a house.

I also have some easier fun ones like, starting each day with a positive quotation, reading a poem-a-day (thanks to the Poetry Foundation for sending those), trying 22 new-to-me soup recipes, participating in a photo challenge, and creating a blackout poem daily.

Blackout poetry consists of taking a text (I use pages from a book that was falling apart) blacking out a bunch of it and what’s left is your “poem”. For me it’s a no-pressure way to jumpstart creativity. Here’s the first I did this year:

And the first soup I made this year was this carrot-ginger-coconut milk concoction. It was….okay (then again, I don’t love carrots).

The first quote I read this year was from Ralph Waldo Emerson: Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I’ll try to remember to check in regularly with updates on the trail I’m blazing through 2022.

Endings, Beginnings & News

January 2, 2022 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

I ended the year with the release of book 29 in the Confessions of a Slightly Neurotic Hitwoman series, The Hitwoman Plays Courier.

No good deed goes unpunished.

When Maggie Lee helps an old man who’s fallen, she ends up working as a courier for his well-to-do son.

Proud of herself for landing a legitimate job that doesn’t involve a windowless office, Maggie ignores red flags and the concerns of God that all may not be what it seems. She’s too busy traversing the landmines of literacy involving a certain mobster’s grandson and juggling the two men who both want more from their relationships with her.

Maggie’s already stressed out when things go wrong, really wrong, with a delivery. A man’s dead and the police know about her involvement with him.

With the help of her pets and the two men vying for her affections, Maggie must figure out what the heck is going on…or God may be lost forever.

And I’m starting the new year with the announcement that Tantor Media has purchased the audio rights for the Psychic Consignment Mystery series. One Woman’s Junk will be out later this month!

You can hear a sample here.

What I’d include in my reading nook

November 13, 2021 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

I can (and will) read almost anywhere. But if I had a dedicated space for it, this is what I’d include:

This book lamp from MOMA.

It’s sooo cool!

This Sherlock Holmes pillow from Storiarts.

A handmade mug like this one.

Warm drinks taste better in handmade mugs, don’t you think? I don’t have one right now, so I’m putting finding one on my To Do list.

I’d also be sure to have hot coffee, a burning beeswax candle and a fuzzy blanket.

What would YOU put in YOUR reading nook?

New book, new preorder, new release

November 10, 2021 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

To say I’m keeping busy is an understatement.

Today I’m starting on the first draft of book 30 in the Confessions of a Slightly Neurotic Hitwoman series. I love my job!

Maggie, not so much.

Have you seen the trouble she got into in The Hitwoman Pays a Debt that came out last month?

She gets in even MORE trouble in next month’s release The Hitwoman Plays Courier.

Available for preorder

Cursed Chicks Club now in KU

November 4, 2021 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

If you haven’t read the series yet, now’s your chance.

Be like these alpacas (and a llama) and run to read it! (Okay, the four-leggers were running for apples, not books, but you get the idea.)

What do you get when you combine a witch who doesn’t know her own power, a possessed cat and a dragon, all traveling in an RV caravan trying to break a curse?

Chaos and Adventure! Love and Laughter!

Follow Ravena and her friends as they try to right the world of wrongs, one magical moment at a time.

READ NOW in Kindle Unlimited.

New release! And how I’m similar to Maggie.

The Hitwoman Pays a Debt is out!

The next time you read about Maggie doing something klutzy, remember this story and now that I find inspiration for her in my real life:

Yesterday I was working on the NEXT Hitwoman book. My laptop started to slip off my lap. I grabbed for it and managed to hit it with enough force and at just the right angle to have it go flying up.

I managed to not only give myself a bump on the head over my eyebrow, but a nice half-inch long cut over my lip that bled like crazy.

I have mad Maggie-like skills, lol.

If you’re feeling sorry for me and have read The Hitwoman Pays a Debt, please leave a review. It will help to soothe my self-respect which has been bruised by my klutziness, lol.

If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, please do!

Maggie Lee is a woman who pays her debts and now she’s running herself ragged.

When the mysterious Ms. Whitehat asks her to work at a dentist’s office to gain access to a safe, Maggie can’t say no. 

She probably should have turned down her murder mentor, Patrick Mulligan, when he wants her to tail a suspicious cop, but she owes him.

And she also couldn’t refuse to help US Marshal Griswald when he requests her assistance to solve one last case before he retires. 

Speaking of his retirement, Aunt Susan is planning the party of the century for him and she expects Maggie to bring a date.

But making it to the party on time may prove difficult since repaying her debts has resulted in Maggie doing a dangerous dance with a killer.

Tried something new!

October 24, 2021 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

And I had a blast!

I love taking pictures. I’m not particularly good at it (yet) but I get a lot of enjoyment out of the hobby.

Yesterday I took a photo tour at a farm. I got there early (and boy was it chilly, lol) before it opened for “normal” tours. The photo tour was led by a photographer who pointed out all the opportunities for great shots. Since I was the only person in attendance, I ended up getting a personalized photography lesson. It was sooo much fun and I learned a lot.

Guarding the livestock
A perfect Fall view of the mountains
I suspect this one knows the secrets of the universe.

Follow me on Instagram to see more of my shots (and a ridiculous amount of pictures of my dog, Smudge).

And don’t forget that I’ve also got a new book THE HITWOMAN PAYS A DEBT coming out on 10/28!

Big changes for the Cursed Chicks

October 18, 2021 By JB Lynn 1 Comment

Good news if you’re a Kindle Unlimited subscriber!

What do you get when you combine a witch who doesn’t know her own power, a possessed cat and a dragon, all traveling in an RV caravan trying to break a curse?

Chaos and Adventure! Love and Laughter!

Follow Ravena and her friends as they try to right the world of wrongs, one magical moment at a time.

LEARN MORE!

Sadly, the Cursed Chicks Club books have not found much of an audience.

Since I LOVE Ravena and the gang and I want their story to continue, I’ve decided to enroll the books in Kindle Unlimited.  That means that starting next month, they will be available there exclusively. If you haven’t gotten your copies yet, and aren’t a KU subscriber, make sure to get them before October 31st.

The Hitwoman Pays a Debt

October 14, 2021 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

I’m excited about the upcoming release for The Hitwoman Pays a Debt on October 28th.

In book 28 of the Confessions of a Slightly Neurotic Hitwoman series, Ms. Whitehat gets Maggie a “legit” job (you can imagine how THAT goes, lol) and Griswald’s got one last case to solve before he retires.

Make sure to preorder your copy!

I’m also excited because my story editor has the NEXT book in the series (more about that soon) AND I’m already plotting out Book 30!

When I’m not busy writing, I’ve been enjoying quality time with the great outdoors.
