Why did you become an
author?
I was lonely. Seriously. My husband’s job took him out of
town and all over the country 4 days out of the week. I had a nine month old baby
at home and when she was sleeping, I was BORED. I had always said I wanted to
write a book so I figured that was as good a time as any to give it a try.
If you weren’t an
author, what would be your dream job?
I’d probably be a realtor even though the economy for houses
stinks right now. I could go in houses all day, just to look. I have no idea
why I’m that way, just am. LOL.
I used to go to
realty open houses or parades of homes a lot, but I don’t have time anymore. If
you could have lived at another time in history, what would it be and why?
I would want to live on a ranch in the 1800’s. I just think
it was such a romantic time period. Tough, hard to eke out a living sometimes,
but it just looks like it would have been extremely interesting. And I like
horses. J
What place in the United States
have you not visited that you would like to?
I’d love to see the Grand Canyon .
I’ve wanted to do
that, too, and even more so since Mary Connealy wrote her Grand
Canyon novel. How about a foreign country you hope to visit?
What lesson has the
Lord taught you recently?
That He’s totally in charge of my writing career and He will
allow things to happen as He has designed it to happen. Don’t get me wrong. I
still have to do my part, promoting and marketing, etc. But because I’m
surrendered to Him, He will guide my path.
Tell us about the
featured book.
When The Smoke Clears is book one in the Deadly Reunions
Series. I’m really excited about this story as it kicks off this new series.
Here’s the back cover blurb:
As a member of the
North Cascades Smokejumpers, Alexia Allen always takes care of the equipment
that keeps her safe. So when she nearly dies in a fire due to equipment
failure, she knows something is up. Ordered to take time off while the
investigation continues, Alexia makes a last-minute decision to recuperate at
her mother's home and attend her high school reunion. Yet trouble seems to be
following her, and within hours of arriving home she's involved with murder,
arson--and a handsome detective. But the conflicts ahead are nothing compared
to the ghosts of her past. As she strives to remember and forgive her family
history, she must also decide if the secret she's been guarding for the last
ten years must finally come to light.
Chock-full of the suspense and romantic tension readers have come to expect from Lynette Eason, When the Smoke Clears is the explosive first book in the Deadly Reunions series.

Romantic Times gave it 4½ stars. I’m hoping the coming
reviews will be just as good.
Sounds like a story I’d
love to read. Please give us the first page of the book.
First page of Chapter ONE:
He
suspected what was in the envelope. Shaky fingers opened it and pulled out the
single white sheet with the block style printed words.

Wow, thanks, Marianne, Barbara, and Janet! Y'all are making me smile. I hope you enjoy When the Smoke Clears if you get a chance to read it. That was a HARD book to write and I was quite sure it was the worst story ever. LOL. But it turned out to be a great story. RT magazine gave it 4.5 stars so I guess I did something right! Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Lynette, I have read almost every one of your books, and your writing just gets better and better! This has been one of my "wish lists" since seeing that it was coming out, and I just added it to another. The Women of Justice series was over the top!!! I would love to win a copy of your new book, it already has my attention. Blessings to you and your family! And I hope that we both get to see Israel one day, walk where our Redeemer has walked!

I went to the Grand Canyon in September. It was AWESOME. We also took a hot-air balloon ride in Sedona. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I like romance and suspense too. It would also be interesting to read about a female firefighter. Different but intriguing. I'm from Ohio. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
Okay, now I'm interested in the whole Deadly Reunions series! Why haven't I heard of them before? This one sounds so interesting! I'm from Tennessee.

Thanks for the interesting interview. It's always interesting to find out the reasons why authors write. It's nice that you were able to find time when you had a baby. I love tour books and am intrigued by your latest one.

Whew...what an imaginative story! Already I'm putting it on my TBR list. Lynette and I have in common the enjoyment of looking at homes. My favorite TV channel is HGTV, and I almost became a realtor once. Another dream that faded. Thanks for this giveaway and the chance to win Lynette's book.
