Lyn Cote here– My newest book, Only Her Heart, starts a series titled: “Opposites Attract.” So that kicks off this month’s question — Do you think that’s true? In Only Her Heart, Annie and Jack are true opposites. Here’s the tagline for the book. What will it take for a clueless computer genius to notice… Read More
“Oh jeez, that’s not smoke rolling out from under the hood of my car is it? Hell, yes it is,” I whisper under my breath. I’m on the freeway, in morning rush hour traffic and I need to get off and quickly as possible. Luckily, people are a little nicer than usual and slow down… Read More
I’ve got some questions for you. What does it mean to belong to an organization like your local Romance Writers of America chapter? Does it mean paying your dues and gleaning as much as you can from the meetings, newsletters, and conferences and then applying that knowledge to your work? Does it mean participating so… Read More
I don’t know about you, but before I was an author, my idea of what authors did all day was so far removed from what really happens on a day to day basis. I will preface this by saying that I also have a full-time 9-5 job Monday through Friday on top of my writing… Read More
Hi friends, So happy to be back with you this week. Today, I’m going to be sharing about my favorite settings to write about. I adore Coastal areas. The beach is my absolute happy place.

Sometimes my attention wanders, like a puppy off a leash. Usually it’s anytime I have to sit and wait—before a doctor’s appointment, getting ready to board a plane, anticipating my order for a tall hot Earl Grey at a coffee shop. (I just realized that my usual drink order sounds like the hero of a… Read More
Some people read romantic comedies like THE DATING DEBATE and 99% FAKING IT and dismiss them as fluff. I’m okay with that. I’m pro fluff. Fluff is good. And I’m not talking about the kind you get from snarfing down a few too many double stuffed Oreo’s. I’m talking about happy fluffy stories where nothing… Read More
Welcome to The Front Row! I’m excited that you joined me this month. I’m going to tell you about a production I saw at San Quentin produced and directed by Marin Shakespeare Company.
