    As of March 31st, 2015, the first publisher who ever took a chance with me and my crazy characters, Crescent Moon Press, is shutting down.

    That means, the Violet Night Trilogy and the Wasteland Trilogy will be out of print and the e-book pulled from all sites.

    I have a small supply of these books left and will be bringing them down to the Tucson Festival of Bookson Saturday March 14th. If you’re around, you can get your copy and I’ll sign it for ya!

    We’re at Booth #106, THE DREAMS CONVENTION. I’ll have copies of the Touch of Frost trilogy, Bound by Hades trilogy, and what’s left of the soon to be out of print Violet Dawn/Wasteland trilogies.

    Hope to see you there.

    Sincerely,

    LynnTransparent

    WOW!! We made it! The 207 Miles Ride from Peoria, AZ to the 1Mission Compound just outside Rocky Point Mexico!!

    Took us TWO days. 124 miles for the first day and 93 miles the second day. 70+ riders raised over $60,000!!!

    ***But remember….even though the bike ride is over, fund raising is still going on because the actual house we’re building doesn’t happen until Mid-March! so…CLICK HERE to donate!***

    Here are some pictures from the amazing trip!

    WHEW!! Great pictures, great memories. Here’s to 2016.

    Sincerely,

  • Big Wigs Night at the Museum

    January 19, 2015 /


    Martha Meyers quote1 copyWow! Today I’msuper lucky to feature a remarkable woman here on Catch the Rush!

    Not many people get to read about the insider information here, so check out these FUN and AMAZING facts from the original BIG WIG Martha Meyers!

    1. She was involved with the MN Children’s Museum for 10 years on their board – 3 as chair! So smart of C’MON to approach her when she became a full-time resident of Naples! She was instrumental in transitioning the board from a capital raising to operational board, and she’s been on the board for 4 years, including being involved in the original Gala and the 1st Night at the Museum event.
    1. She understands the importance of having a children’s museum in a community. In her own words, she expands on this. “Creating a life-long love of learning among our youngest citizens enriches our entire community.”
    1. She credits Andy Marquart (former executive director) and Sandi Wilson for the idea, A Night at the Museum, but we have Martha to thank for the execution of the first event!
    1. Last year her favorite part of the event was the casualness, the opportunity to education the guests about what children museums are, and the ‘Right On’ Band.
    1. When asked if she has a favorite part of the museum, she said, “The Graffiti Wall which was part of last year’s Night at the Museum (coming in January).”

    Stop by The Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples and check out the Graffiti Wall!

    Now, for the fun, fast round of super cool info about Martha!

    Coffee of tea? … water

  • Even my dog likes Frozen

    December 27, 2014 /


    Frozen is one of my favorite movies. I just love the music, the characters, and of course the ice-slinging Elsa. Probably because she’s like my character, Mandy, in the Touch of Frost trilogy.

    I caught this little picture of my sweet Maddux–notice the Frozen phone cover he’s got on his paw. LOL.

    Maddux and Frozen

    And because I know you want to hear this song again, we’ll post Let It Go…

    You were signing OUT LOUD, weren’t you? Admit it? I know I was!!

    What movies were your favorite this Christmas season? Anyone what A Christmas Story? It’s usually on 24 hours straight on Christmas Day….

    Thanks for stopping by,
