Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
As a tween, Lyndi walked miles to borrow books from the bookmobile and found quiet places to read them. Now she writes stories for young readers and helps other writers with their writing projects.
A retired high school teacher, mother of three adult children, and community youth volunteer, Lyndi moved with her husband to Panama where she hosts writing workshops, tours and retreats in nature and at Tranquilo Retreat. Often ideas come to her as she walks the beach and hikes in the mountains.
Lyndi has written a few books and published two, The Lines Between Our Stars and The Bridges Between Us. The Clashing Of Our Worlds, the third book in The Summer Triangle Trilogy releases November 15, 2021
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Clashing of Our Worlds, Book 3 in The Summer Triangle Trilogy releases November 15, 2021.
While stargazing around a campfire, many children and teens shared the grief they carried. Lyndi was struck by how challenging it is to help youth who grieve and was inspired to write the Summer Triangle Trilogy.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Even though I tell my muse I’d like to write at 3:00 pm, my muse tends to wake me at 3:00 am.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a huge Madelaine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time, C.S. Lewis, Narnia, and Rae Knightly, Alien Skills Series fan. But these are just a few writer who I like to hang out with.
What are you working on now?
Now that I’ve complete The Summer Triangle Trilogy, I’ve begun researching and writing The Winter Triangle Series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Marketing is a whole new area for me so I am asking authors what has worked for them. You can find some of their answers on my blog at my Tranquilo Retreat website.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read and write all you can, listen to other author’s process and journey, and write using your own unique voice. No one can tell a story the way you can.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
For every author who gives advice saying not to write a certain way there is a published author who is writing that way.
What are you reading now?
I am reading young adult science fiction/fantasy authors and well, a little bit of everything.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I live and write adventurously pausing to share my writing passion with aspiring writers. This is me. This is now. This is ongoing.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
It’s rather cruel to limit me to 3-4 books but if I must say it would be:
A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle
The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis
Ben Archer And The Cosmic Fall, by Rae Knightly
Contact, by Carl Sagan
