Did you ever wonder how you would survive a global nuclear apocalypse? Lynn Lamb imagined it into existence on the written page!
Lynn Lamb is the author of The Survivor Diaries Series of novels. She was inspired to write her first novel by the characters in her own family and hometown of Monterey, California. Lamb was both fascinated and saddened to turn her beloved city into a torn and broken place that her characters must learn to navigate and pilfer in order to survive. Lamb is also an independent filmmaker and script writer. Her dream is to produce the Great American Documentary.
Lamb’s debut book, Monte Vista Village (The Survivor Diaries, Book 1), has made a splash on the ebook scene.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Monte Vista Village, is the first book of The Survivor Diaries Series. I was inspired by the characters in my own family and hometown of Monterey, California. Living in Steinbeck Country, I was raised on his works, and throughout my books I pay homage to the amazing John Steinbeck.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I do my best writing in a dark room. I am expecting to get rickets any day now.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am inspired by John Steinbeck and Margret Atwood. There are really two many to list.
What are you working on now?
I am now working on getting Book II of The Survivor Diaries Series, The Beginning at the End of the World, out within the next month. I am also in the process of writing Book III, Moving Mountains.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“When happiness calls, offer it a comfortable seat.” E. Joseph Cossman
What are you reading now?
I just finished reading A Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. It’s funny how your take on certain books change with the passage of time.
What’s next for you as a writer?
What’s Next? I will continue with The Survivor Diaries Series, but another series is coming together in my mind.
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?
If I were stranded on a deserted island, I would probably take The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss and my own books, only because they are full of survival tips that I could use if I was on my own on a desert island.
