Viki Lyn in the spot light…
Where do you find
your inspiration?
I think our brain is like a giant hard drive. We store all sorts
of information over the years. As I mull over a story, my hard drive searches
my memory banks for ideas.
When did you first
consider yourself a writer?
Around 2005 I wrote a couple of historical romances. I decided
to submit them to an ebook publisher and to my surprise they were accepted.
Creativity is important to me. If I can’t paint, I write. If I can’t write, I
paint. I don’t crank out a lot of books per year because half the time I’m
learning a new art technique, traveling and visiting family and friends.
Writing is just one of my passions and I will keep writing stories as long as
readers enjoy them.
Do your characters
become like real people to you?
Oh yeah, they live in my head until the book is published. Then
afterwards, they pop up and demand to be heard again. I love all my characters,
even the ones that are not as lovable. There have been characters my readers
don’t like – Corbin comes to mind from Fighting Chance. He can be curt and
prickly on the outside, but he has a good heart and will do anything for those
he loves.
If you weren’t a
writer, what else would you like to have done?
I’m an artist, teacher and I have owned my own business, worked
in finance in Silicon Valley, and had an accounting position at Arizona State
University. And that’s just some of my jobs I’ve had over the years.
What do you want
your tombstone to say?
She lived well and followed her passions despite her failures.
Blurb:
When psychic Nate Coleman dreams of a
murder, he knows it’s a premonition. He can’t forget the image of his ex-lover
with a bullet hole through his chest. Nate has no choice but to confront Will
and face the skeptical scientist’s ridicule.
Dr. William Ryner doesn’t believe in what he
can’t prove. When Nate comes back into his life, it’s not to rekindle their
love, but to bring up more of that mumbo jumbo that split them apart.
Despite Will’s refusal to listen, Nate can’t
ignore the premonition. And, Will can’t ignore Nate. Before the gunman strikes,
Will must either trust in Nate’s ability or rely only on the facts, but if he
does the latter, pride could be the death of him.

Excerpt:
The usually impeccable Dr. Ryner looked
disheveled with his tie askew and wrinkled suit. Will liked order in all
things, including his closet. Will collected ties by the dozen. He probably had
hundreds sorted by color and pattern. Nate had three ties total. His smile
deepened when he thought how they were so different in style but how much they
had connected mentally and physically. Nate was the psychic one, but Will could
read him better than any man alive. Or maybe the reason was because Nate had
allowed Will into his heart.
“First, let’s get this off you.” Nate tugged
at the jacket sleeve.
Will turned slightly toward Nate, and their
noses bumped.
The light touch caused an incredible ache in
Nate. His feelings for Will hadn’t diminished over time. That wasn’t how it was
supposed to be. Time healed. That was the advice he received from his friends.
Over and over. But fuck, then why were his palms sweating? His heart tearing?
Desperate to play down the effect Will had on
him, Nate jerked back, rubbing his nose.
“You pack a mean punch,” he joked.
For one long minute, Will stared at him. Not
saying a word, he took off his jacket and handed it to Nate. Then he sprawled
lengthwise on the couch, turning his back, shutting Nate out.
No way would Nate accept being ignored.

Good morning Haven Fellows! Thank you so much for hosting me and kicking off Perceived Love's blog tour. :) Late last night I heard a 'whoosh' and my bed and ground shook. I wondered what the heck? Turns out it was an earthquake - 3 small quakes hit Arizona! Go figure...and I'm from California where I expect them! Weird. :) I'll check back for comments and questions. :) Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Viki! Glad to see you were able to republish Perceived Love. I can't wait to see what changes you've made to the book. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Emily. I was so thrilled to expand this short story. It's still a novella more than doubled in size. I added some new chapters and sex scenes too. ;o And also added a few secondary characters that could have their own future stories. Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteHello Viki! I have read this book yet but I look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThx for commenting Sherry. It was so satisfying to revamp the book and make it better. I also had fun writing the tarot scenes. 😜
