1 Flew Over the Raven's Nest

Best laid plans — Day 6 of 100 Days of Effort

November 25, 2020 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

Anyone else start off with the best of intentions and then face-plant?

Do not adjust your screens, I failed to report in on days 4 and 5 of my effort. I’m still fighting a funk that’s made writing a challenge to say the least. I haven’t even looked at my word count for fear it will depress me.

But, I did take some cool photographs. (Yes, I know, nothing to do with writing but still a creative outlet.)

The moon at sunset
The moon 90 minutes after sunset
And I finally got a decent picture of the local blue heron

While I didn’t get much writing done, I DID complete the copy edits for 3 Times a Charm

.

Family Reunions Can Be Magic…Or Murder

Ravena Valentina used to hate magic.

Not anymore. Now she uses it to protect Richie, a boy coming into his own magical powers. 

She does still hate the curse binding her to the spirit of her witchy former mother-in-law. Ravena’s searching for the perfect love song to break that, while navigating her complicated relationship with the hot magician, Sol.

But Richie’s enemies are relentless. 

Even with the help of a loyal wizard’s assistant, a sexy dragon, a wise Element and a talking goldfish, protecting the kid can be deadly. 

And things only get worse when his long-lost father shows up.

Release Day – 2 Spells!

October 31, 2020 By JB Lynn 1 Comment

It’s here!

2 Spells Too Many the second book of the Cursed Chicks Club series is out!

Sometimes you’ve got to kiss a frog….literally.
To rid herself of being haunted by her witchy mother-in-law for eternity, Ravena Valentina is on another magical quest.
Accompanied by Sol, a secretive, magically deficient (but hot) magician, Marco, a former wizard’s assistant, and Richie, a young boy coming into his powers, Ravena must figure out how to catch and kiss the cursed frog, free a talking goldfish, outsmart merciless treasure hunters, and save the kid’s dying mom.

 And, as if she didn’t already have enough problems, there’s a fire-breathing dragon lurking in the shadows.

Smoosher Lady!

October 13, 2020 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

Wanna know a secret?

Richie calls RV “Smoosher Lady” in 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest.

That’s actually inspired by a neighbor’s grandson who calls me “Smudger lady” because my dog’s name is Smudge.

Things will turn out.

In April of 2019 I stayed in an RV as research for Cursed Chicks series. (Yes, it takes me a LONG time to prep for series…I didn’t start actually writing RV’s book until a year later.)

I thought I’d love it. I HATED it. There were tornado warnings, I got motion sickness, and I set off the carbon monoxide detector. I was miserable. My dog was miserable.

I worried that it was a sign that my RV series (working title of Cursed Chicks) was going to be equally miserable. Thankfully, it wasn’t! I’m having sooo much fun with it.

I also had fun meeting up with book blogger Donna of Girl Who Reads on that leg of my trip, so it wasn’t a total disaster.

Out tomorrow!

September 29, 2020 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

So excited to be releasing 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest in book form tomorrow!

This is the first book in my new Cursed Chicks Club series. (Book 2 will be out next month and I’m currently working on Book 3!) I’m having so much fun with these characters and this world.

You may think your mother-in-law is a witch, but RV’s really was.

And now there’s a very real chance she’ll be haunted by Mildred Bloodworth for eternity.

The only way to free herself from the curse that binds them, is for RV to make amends for Millie’s misdeeds.

Accompanied by a possessed Siamese cat, RV embarks, in her mother-in-law’s pink camper van, on a journey to right wrongs. But plans, like spells, can backfire.

RV drives right into a crime scene and quickly becomes the chief suspect in a mysterious murder.

Determined to prove her innocence, RV investigates with the help of a lucky penny, a wise owl, a reclusive turtle, and a magician whose agenda is unknown.

Closing in on The End

August 6, 2020 By JB Lynn 2 Comments

I’ve posted through Chapter 36 of 1 FLEW OVER THE RAVEN’S NEST, the first of my Cursed Chicks series and it will end with Chapter 44. 

I’ve enjoyed writing this story and sharing it. (Plus, it’s been fun to see the comments and to know others are enjoying the ride.)

So what’s next for me? 

I’ll be publishing the next CONFESSIONS OF A SLIGHTLY NEUROTIC HITWOMAN book and I’ve got two more books featuring RV mapped out to write (okay, don’t tell anyone, but I’ve already started working on book 2!).

I’m also spending a little time each day working on a passion project. It’s a much darker book than my Hitwoman, Cursed Chicks, or Psychic Consignment Mysteries (btw, the first book in that series is currently free!). I don’t know whether I’ll ever publish it, but it’s a good outlet for my dark moods, lol.

I’m also spending time watching birds and developing my photography hobby. I just got a tripod and am hopeful this will help me get better shots.

Serendipity? Frogs

Imagine my amusement when, in the midst of writing Chapter 33 of 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest and specifically the line, “I’m a member of the Froggy Friends Society you know”, my dear friend Laura Green Lageson sent me this shot:

Who wouldn’t want to be his friend???

What amazing timing! We both got a chuckle out of it. I’m lucky to have a talented friend who sends me tons of her nature pictures AND is one of my favorite people to laugh with.

Are you caught up with reading 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest? Do you know which character is a Froggy Friend?
