• Lynn Rush & Alan Dean Foster together….


    Today were celebrating the release of my second book, AWAITED, down at Changing Hands Bookstore!

    Sure, it released on May 1st, but TODAY, we’re going to have a little party. So, if you’re in Arizona, I sure hope you stop by. I’d LOVE to meet you.

    I have the very special Alan Dean Foster celebrating with me. He’s a legend in the Sci-Fi world, having penned over 118 novels, including: Star Trek, Star Wars, Terminator Salvation, Aliens…I could go on, but you can just CLICK HERE to get to his site to check out his bibliography.

    I had the privilege of appearing on The Morning Scramble with him back in March, and he’s just an amazing guy. Sweet, gracious, and very talented!!

    I’m honored he’s joining me tonight.

     

  • Vlogs…


    I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a vlog…so I thought trying out the idea at my book signing might be a good place to try it out.

    Thanks to my BFF’s sweet hubby for helping me.

    Check it out:

    I have to admit, it was kinda fun….so, we’ll see if I can figure this stuff out and do a few more vlogs.

    In case you want to see, this is the video we streamed on a loop during the book signing. It’s mostly the trailer with a few more things added about me as a person and writer:

  • Wasteland Photo Time


    Hey, everyone, we had a BLAST at the book signing yesterday. Took TONS of pictures and I’ll post some later, but here are a few:

    ~~~~~

    But, you know what I want to see?

    Pictures of YOU with WASTELAND! Yep. If you have a copy of Wasteland, whether it be paperback, Kindle, Nook, iPad, whatever….I wanna see you with it!

    So, send me your pictures to [email protected].

    Why? you might ask….

    There are a few reasons.

    1. It’d be FUN! I’d just love to see you with Wasteland. We’ve got to have some fun along this crazy busy journey of life.

    2. It’ll earn you FIFTY entries into the Kindle Giveaway (already have a Kindle? It’s okay, you can get an Amazon gift card instead)…Details HERE.

    3. I want to save them. You only have a debut novel once, and I want to enjoy every single aspect of it. You all have helped make this possible. And yes, ALL of you. When you buy Wasteland, you help. When you tell someone about it, you help. When you post a review somewhere online, you help. So, THANK YOU!

    You have until September 30th to send in your pictures (5pm Pacific time) to earn the extra entries. You can send in a bunch if you like, and I encourage it, but you will only get the fifty entries. By sending me your pictures, you are approving their use on my blog, Facebook, Twitter and other means of promotion for Wasteland. But don’t worry, I won’t do anything wonky with them. It’s all in good fun.

    Here’s one to get you started….
