Lynda Kaye Frazier, USA Today Best Selling Author

                                  I write because I love it.  When I started to write I never thought anyone would buy my story. I'm not famous, no one knows me, but I still wrote because I truly enjoyed doing it. Just like when I was a waitress. I started out as a nobody, not having any idea how to balance a tray full of plates, or drinks without spilling them, but I kept at it. And before I knew it people were asking to sit at my station.  Both of these jobs take a lot of work, hours and one very important factor, to never give up. I loved being a waitress. The people were fun to be around and I loved making their night a special one. The same way I love being an Author. I enjoy spending time with my readers and knowing my story is going to make their night a special one.                         ...

As a writer I depend on my thoughts, my dreams. That's how I build my stories.  My characters fill my mind, showing me which way to go in their story.

Don't they realize their lives depend on me?  Then I sat back and realized my mind was blank, completely quiet. It was the first time in years that I had complete silence on the inside and I panicked.  What did I do? What if they don't come back? Should I bake them some cookies, promise them more time, more sex? I was grasping then I realized I truly needed rehab. I was talking to my self, and my imaginary friend...

Genre Bending… So did you read—Gender bending?  Close but no cigar.  Think of it as merging two or more genres into one unique read. My first love for reading picks tends toward paranormal, heavy on Urban Fantasy.  Give me Kelly Meding, Jennifer Estep, Seanan McGuire, Ilona Andrews or Patricia Briggs and I’m a happy camper. But,  I have to admit there are other genres that fight for their place in my heart.  My second contender for reading preference-military romantic suspense.  Maya Banks, Cindy Gerard, Cherry Adair, and Julie Ann Walker can come visit my Kindle Fire anytime.  Oh yes, I have some hot and heavy thoughts for those Special Forces bad boys. Dangerous and delectable, those plots can keep my pulse rate up more than a treadmill. But sometimes, when you read and write a certain genre, you like to take a break and whet your creative mind with something a little different.  I hit this point recently as I finished up my third nov...
