  • #ReleaseParty Wrap Up…

    ReleasePartyWhat a GREAT day! Thanks for celebrating it with me, Sasha, and Jean. For this final post, I want to just say thank you! Your support is so appreciated. And as a special thank you for all those who purchases ANY Lynn Rush Book through the month of January, you get a free short story. Forward your proof of purchase to Publicist (at) lynnrush.com and we’ll jet out a copy of Merus in the Making.

    We first meet Jessica Hanks in Wasteland. She was a young, fifteen-year-old girl wanted by both sides-Dark and Light. She shows up in book two, Awaited, teasing the guardian, Durk. But book three is all Jessica and Durk. This short story ties up how she became this powerhouse-and it’s FREE with any purchase.

    As for the Kindle Paperwhite entries, let’s have one last BIG event to earn BIG entries.

  • What’s New Adult?


    Wow, only a few hours left of our release party fun. I often get asked how I got into writing, specifically how I started in with this New Adult category before it was even recognized by anyone.

    You might know this about me, but I kind of stumbled into this writing career. Hadn’t planned on it, but it found me. Fate kind of has a way of doing that, doesn’t it?

    Anyway, without any formal training, I just sat down and started writing. When I had an 87,000-word novel and no clue what to do next, I took the next step. Researched writing groups. Joined some critique groups and kept on writing. During that time, I was told my characters were too old for YA and too young for Adult and that I needed to change their ages if I wanted to get published some day.

    I respectfully declined that offer to change my character ages. And kept writing. By novel thirteen (Wasteland) New Adult had started showing up here and there. But it was Crescent Moon Press who took the chance and opened the New Adult Line at their house. I think they were one of the first…if not the first…to officially have New Adult on one of their novels.

    And then they signed SIX of mine!

    So, as writing “found” me, so did writing New Adult. But I love it. Wouldn’t have it any other way. As NA Alley says so nicely, New Adult bridges the gap between Young Adult and Adult fiction.

    Have any questions for me? Leave them in the comments and you’ll earn TEN entries toward the Kindle Paperwhite.

    For extra entries toward the Paperwhite, you can also do the following:

    1. For TEN more entries Tweet this: Three Goddesses release party. Come earn entries toward a Kindle paperwhite! http://bit.ly/NTO3r3 #NewAdult #Tainted @LynnRush

    2. For TEN more entries post the Tainted Book Trailer to your Pinterest Boards and come put your link to the board here in the comments section of this blog post

    Remember, these posts are open to entries to January 29th, 2013! Next up is SASHA at 5pm EST!

     

  • More Release Party Fun!


    Wow. This party is flying by.

    Release days hold a special place in my heart. It’s one more chance to remember my sweet mother in law. Her name was Lynn, and yes, I took on the pen name Lynn because of her. You might already know this story, but in case you’re new to the blog, I took her name because she was a great writer, and she read the first thing I ever wrote (as horrible as it was!)

    When cancer claimed her life in 2011, just over a month after my very first novel (Wasteland) went live, I was happy that there was a way to keep her name alive. With each and every book I publish.

    It’s also the reason a portion of all my proceeds are donated to cancer research and treatment! I know she’s up there celebrating this latest release with me! So, I’m really glad you all are sharing this fun time with me as well!

    This post has a couple of tasks to earn some serious entries toward the Kindle Paperwhite, so have fun with them, okay??

    1. Post a picture of you with any of my books to my Facebook Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/LynnRushWrites)and you earn TEN entries toward the Kindle. And yes, e-reader copies work as well! Just have the cover showing and you’re golden. Get creative, because the picture with the most likes will earn an extra FIVE entries!!

    2. For another TEN entries, post the following to your Facebook timeline: I entered to win a Kindle Paperwhite at the Three Goddesses Book Release Party. Come enter too! https://www.lynnrush.com/blog Be sure to tag me on your Facebook post so I know you’ve done this task (http://www.facebook.com/LynnRushWrites)
