Book and General Updates

Hello, my beautiful reading souls.

 
It feels like it’s been so long since I’ve been on here to give you all an update. Or just to post anything in general. That seems to be the story of my whole life right now.
I wanted to bring you all some updates because I know there are a ton of you wondering where the hell Steel is and why he isn’t released yet. Some of you may even be wondering where I am. Maybe not. Either way, I’ll fill everyone in.
 
Transparency is important to me and I’ve always given it to you all. I’m not going to change that now. So, I hope you stick with me through this post.
 
Steel is about 80-85 percent-ish complete. I work on it nearly every day, but I’m not going to lie to you. I struggle with it. My baby sister was extremely proud of me for everything I’ve accomplished. She was never a big reader, but when I told her about Steel, she told me that this was one that she wanted to read. That she was excited to read it. I was just happy she found one that interested her. I was in the middle of writing on Steel when I lost my dad in June of last year. I took a break from it and moved to finish Feisty One, which was also hard because I just wasn’t in the right headspace, but it got written. In the end, I dedicated that one to my dad.
 
You all already know that Steel was originally supposed to release in December and that I had to cancel that preorder because it just wasn’t going to be finished in time. Then, I made a post in December saying that I hoped to have it finished and out by the end of January. Let me tell you something…it would have been too because if there is one thing I hate, it’s letting my readers down.
 
But then, on January 9th, my baby sister was tragically killed.
 
When I lost my dad, it tore me to pieces, but it’s a natural progression of life, ya know? We all expect to lose our parents. Granted, I wasn’t anywhere ready to lose him so young, but sometimes life is just fucking unfair and makes no sense.
 
But when I lost my sister, it’s like there was a piece of me that tore off inside and I’ve been struggling to fill that hole. Life is fucking unpredictable and it can change in an instant, I know that, but there’s always been this notion in my head, that because I’m the oldest, my baby sisters and brother would be the ones to attend my funeral first. Preferably when we were all old, wrinkly, and gray. So, having to bury one of my baby siblings first, it’s been really hard for me to work through.
 
I’m explaining this to you all in the hopes that you’d understand why there’s such a huge block for me when writing Steel. I want to finish it because I know she would be proud as hell, but she’d also be really pissed at me for letting her death affect me so much that I’m having trouble finishing THAT book. At the same time, I’m terrified to finish it because she’s no longer here to read it, and to me that just kind of seals it. Does that make sense?
 
Don’t worry. I’m not writing this to tell you it’s not getting finished because it most definitely IS. I’ve got about 15-20 more chapters before I can write THE END. I’m just letting you all know why it’s taking so long. I refuse to force myself to write because then the story is just going to be shit. It’ll come through in the writing and that’s something I won’t let happen. So, I write when the words are flowing well for Steel. Which lately seems to be doing better.
 
So, I truly hope you’re still sticking around with me and I hope you’re still looking forward to Steel. He and Bailee are coming and I truly believe you all are going to enjoy their story.
 

Other news—I have been able to write other stuff though without issue! I don’t know if you know this, but I write stuff on Wattpad (@spicybooklover4life) during my downtime or when I’m struggling with Steel. They’re much different than the things I have published and deal more with heavier betrayal topics, but they seem to be doing well.

I’ve also been working on Voodoo, the President of the Hades Hellions MC, along with Thrasher and Tweek’s books. Lots of goodies are coming!

I have a book signing in October. I’m not sure if you know about it yet or not. I think I’ve mentioned it here. It’s my first signing and it’s happening in Memphis at the Guest House at Graceland. You can find all the information you need about it down below.
General Admission tickets are FREE and VIP (250 available) are $30 plus tax and Eventbrite fees. VIP includes early access and a special All Shook Up Tote Bag!
 
Just in case I’ll see any of you there, here are some important links you’ll want:
 
📌All Shook Up in Graceland Reader’s Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/366671168491280
📌Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/…/all-shook-up-at-graceland…

I’ll also be having another signing in 2024, but until they start doing the announcements for it, I won’t mention anything.

I’m updating my website to add some forums there. I think it’ll be a fun way for us to chat and share things and stuff without being hit and censored like we are here. So, keep an eye out because I’ll let you know when those are finished.

Y’all…just know how much you all truly mean to me. I wouldn’t be where I am without you. Your support, your love, and your understanding, it means everything to me and I don’t think there’d ever be a way I could repay you.

Please know, that if you ever have questions about my books, about me, or just want to vent or chat, my inbox or email is always open to you.

I may not be very active right now, but I’m here. I’m still writing these burly, surly, bikers, the arrogant billionaires, and the fuckboys we all love.

Much love to you all,
Lynne ♡

Mom. Wife. Wine Drinker. Hot Mess. Even bigger Walking Disaster. Fluent Sarcasm Speaker. Word Writer. Collector of Readers Hearts. Taco Lover. Book Nerd. Lynne is a USA Today Bestselling Author who writes a little mix of everything. Currently, it's romance with a handful of suspense thrown in, a dash of dark and twisty along the way, and a lot more than the recipe calls for of steamy against-the-wall sexiness. She lives in the quiet country with a bossy mister, a mischievous little prince, and two sassy divas. If you don’t catch her with her nose in a book or her fingers scribbling on paper, she’s usually right in front of the television with her family. She loves anything that glitters and has a weird habit of collecting pens. She thinks seafood is disgusting, beach sand is the devil, and Tom Hardy is life.
