Rededication by Lynne Silver is the eighth and final tale, the perfect way to end Chanukkah. Jill and Evan are now empty nesters, the holidays are different and the kids are scattered across the globe. This year will be different and after decades of Jill handling the command center, Evan proposes a change right before the holidays. Is it enough to shake the crazy thoughts so they can rekindle and reconnect?

There is nothing more exciting than the unexpected during the holidays and this year for Jill and Evan will roll the dice and learn what it is they both want. Lynne’s story about a couple who are a bit too comfortable in their seasoned marriage and navigates uncharted territory with humility, grace, and humor. With careful attention to emotions during the holidays and spot on details her story is one to keep and re-read every Chanukkah.

Will eight nights be enough to help them discover their own holiday miracle? Grab your driedels and get your gelt, Chanukkah is here and it’s bright, full of new stories to tell and maybe even spark a few new gift ideas ;).

Light   Peace   LoveV2 300x300 Rededication by Lynne Silver from the soon to be released Chanukkah collection Eight Kisses
My favorite Hanukkah memory is that my younger son was born the night before Hanukkah started. And so it was still Hanukkah when we had his bris, and rather than do an early morning bris which is traditional, we did a late afternoon one and had latkes and lit candles and sang Hanukkah songs.

If you want a good latke recipe and pro tips for making them, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter, because the newsletter that is sent out TOMORROW will have lots of latke tips.

  • – Happy Chanukkah

Authors Dish RWA 2019 Packing Tips with USA Today Bestselling Author Kimberly Kincaid, Lynne Silver, and Tessa McFionn

Authors Dish RWA2019 Packing O Canada V1 300x300 Authors Dish RWA 2019 Packing Tips with USA Today Bestselling Author Kimberly Kincaid, Lynne Silver, and Tessa McFionnIf you’re heading to New York City July 24-27, 2019 for RWA2019 or another conference reminders and tips are always helpful. Especially when it comes to packing, and as a first timer commuting to the hotel each day I am hoping I remember to pack all the things in one suitcase ;). 

There is nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night needing the very thing you forgot to pack. Or, finding out moments before you have a meeting or fun place to go, you ran out of or forgot something essential. 

So, to all the newbies, and seasoned travel veterans, I’m running an Authors Dish specifically targeted on what authors and industry professionals always include in their suitcases, what they stash in their conference bag to avoid hunger pains and the things they forget once and hopefully never again.

May this inspire you to pack light and not forget anything at home. If you’re heading to RWA2019 I’d love to say hi. Comment below so we can be sure to meet up in NYC.

Stay tuned as we’ll have plenty of tips and tricks in the upcoming weeks so check the blog daily.

Today in the cafe are USA Today Bestselling Author Kimberly Kincaid, Lynne Silver, and Tessa McFionn

Rae: What five things do you have to pack when attending a conference?

Kimberly: An empty water bottle, workout clothes, Lara bars, the white noise app on my phone (not something I pack, but I definitely need it!), and a power strip is I’m sharing a room with others.

Have to haves:
  1. Combat boots. I actually have at least two pairs that I pack
  2. My Jack Skellington lounge pants. They look best with the combats 😉
  3. Way too many shirts!
  4. An extra bag for swag
  5. My laptop. Never know when inspiration will strike 😉

Rae: What is your snack attack must haves in your day bag?

Kimberly: Lara bars, fresh fruit (bananas or apples from the coffee shop), trail mix.  

Lynne:Not to jinx myself, but I’m a pretty good packer. I usually mean to bring my RWA badge holder from year to year, and do forget that some years.

Tessa: Well, the night bag MUST have whiskey, but the day bag is usually filled with peanuts and granola bars (plus a Special Dark bar)

Rae:What’s the one thing you forget to pack and swear to remember next time?

Kimberly:  It’s different every time, but I’ve forgotten Band-Aids (you ALWAYS need them), flip flops (trips to the vending machine or lobby for water), and Chap Stick (went out to buy it!)

Lynne: Not to jinx myself, but I’m a pretty good packer. I usually mean to bring my RWA badge holder from year to year, and do forget that some years.

Tessa: MY PHONE CHARGER! Cannot even begin to count how many times I’ve had to buy a new charger at hotels or airports.

Rae: Thank you so much authors! I’ll be keeping a running list and will post it a week before RWA2019 so that hopefully no one needs to make a quick run to the lobby market or drug store around the corner. I’ll see you soon for new authors and more ideas!

Tessa McFionn: 

Tessa McFionn is a very native Californian and has called Southern California home for most of her life, growing up in San Diego and attending college in Northern California and Orange County, only to return to San Diego to work as a teacher. Insatiably curious and imaginative, she loves to learn and discover, making her wicked knowledge of trivial facts an unwelcomed guest at many Trivial Pursuit boards.

Her love of the fantastical began at a young age while her mother read to her and her brother such classics as The Hobbit and Rikki Tikki Tavi. She continued this love, devouring Terry Brooks, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ray Bradbury, and Isaac Asimov as well as comic books galore. Romance entered the field in the guise of Anne Rice’s An Interview with a Vampire, and during college, she discovered the works of Sherrilyn Kenyon and Christine Feehan, and the rest is history.

Her first novel, Spirit Fall, came to her as she looked over the edge of a very dark place. Since then, she’s added three more tales to the world of the Guardian Warriors and Spirit Bound, Book Two in the series, was awarded the 2016 Write Touch award for Paranormal Romance from WisRWA. But she never lost her love for science fiction and began a space opera, The Rise of the Stria, in March 2018 with the release of To Discover a Divine.

When not writing, she can be found at the movies or at Disneyland with her husband, as well as family, friends or anyone who wants to play at the Happiest Place on Earth. She also finds her artistic soul fed through her passions for theatre, dance and music. A proud parent of far too many high school seniors and two still living house plants, she also enjoys hockey, reading and playing Words with Friends to keep her vocabulary sharp. She is currently the President of the San Diego chapter of Romance Writers of America and loves spending time working with such amazingly intelligent and creative writers.

The Breeder by Lynne Silver – Review and Excerpt

The Breeder by Lynne Silver – Review and Excerpt

36576365 189x300 The Breeder by Lynne Silver   Review and Excerpt

The Breeder by Lynne Silver is a spicy fast paced novella that takes us into a world where few are still lucky enough to have human contact, or free to make choices. A must read dystopian love story that speaks about being in touch with your feelings, the world around you, and whether or not you choose to numb yourself in the face of the unknown.

Jane is one of the chosen, a Breeder. Will it be a chore or a death sentence? Is there the possibility for desire, or is that taken away from her as well? When your heart yearns for one man, the probability that he will be your forever is a dream. I just love where this story is headed. Can Jane fulfill her duties despite her heart attached to someone else?

What would you do if you discovered you weren’t like everyone else, or those who have been where you are? Confused? Don’t be, a world where sex is merely for procreation is not easy to process but Lynne shows you Jane’s reality. What makes it exciting is the secrets that Jane keeps to ensure her safety, and survival. Will she play the game, or create a new one to spend the rest of her life with the one man she can’t live without?

Ethan has one goal, to outlast and outsmart his competitors, his fate rests on one moment. If anyone were to discover the truth regarding his journey, it could destroy any chance for real love. Ethan is a hero who we dream about, a man that is willing to sacrifice everything for the one woman he loves. There is no risk too small that he’s not willing to take, even if it could mean death.

3 Spicy Larger Image Final 1 300x300 The Breeder by Lynne Silver   Review and ExcerptDiscover for yourself a compelling and intense read about second chances, the ability to find a human connection in a world where it’s certain to become extinct. Machines have taken over even the simplest act and yet, it’s the one thing we as readers can’t imagine living without.

This Spicy Latte is best enjoyed with your favorite iced-beverage, a cozy chair, and maybe a fan.  Oh, and yes, it’s for mature readers 18+.

I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review.

Please note that I’ve changed how I rate the heat factor for all reviews. You can find my new Spicy Latte Ratings here.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“You’re on, Jane,” Michael said.

I smiled out to the audience hoping to convey my impartiality to the home viewers. My fingers trembled as I lowered my hand into the bowl. For good show, I rustled my hand around, taking care to tease out the anticipation, but not take too long for fear the males in the audience would revolt.

Several members of the Guard stood at strategic points in the auditorium to ensure the process would go without violence. It was one hundred men against a dozen, even if those dozen had serious weapons.

I drew out the first name and handed the folded card to Michael. He smoothed it open and read out, “Simon Carter.” Behind us, the name flashed on the screen in the number one slot. I scanned the audience looking for the man named Simon Carter to come running up the aisle to claim his prize. No applause or cheers accompanied him. This surprised me. When I watched in previous years from my dorm room, it had always sounded as if the studio audience had gone wild. Instead, reality was silent.

“This is a competition. They won’t cheer for their opponent,” Michael said under his breath as he interpreted my confusion. “Smile.” I now understood the cheers had been dubbed in for the home audience and forced the smile back on my face. I wondered what else was different for the home audience. What other surprises were headed my way?

Another second passed before the first candidate bounded up the steps and onto the stage. He towered over me. His expression was pure intent as he stalked over to me and yanked me to him for a kiss. This I’d been expecting. Each candidate got to kiss the Breeder before the real competition began. I hadn’t been expecting his height and strength as he overwhelmed me with his power.

Back at school, girls kissed all the time. Those innocent kisses had not prepared me for the feel of a man’s body pressing against mine. I felt dainty and petite against him.

The kiss went on for long seconds, leaving me breathless and clinging to his wide shoulders. “You’re gonna be mine,” he growled against my ear before stepping back.

I nodded mutely. Maybe he would be the winner. He seemed strong enough to me.

Coffee With Lynne Silver

Coffee With Lynne Silver

Lynne Silver Coffee With Lynne SilverRae: Thank you so much for hanging out with me today. If we were meeting at a coffee shop I’d be drinking a spiced latte with Coconut Milk. 🙂 ! What would you order?

Lynne: I’d order tea, but I’d want it to be hot cocoa.

Rae: As fall is finally here, do you have any traditions? Do you decorate the house with the change of season?

Lynne: My street tends to go all out for Halloween, and my family does also. We’ve got a lot of big decorations.

Rae: For those hanging out today that are not familiar with your work, you write about hot sexy nights in Miami, military romance, a few Alpha Heroes, standalone Contemporary and Historical. That’s a lot. How do you keep it all organized and prevent unexpected “visits” into other worlds.

Lynne: I tend to work on 1-2 projects at once, and all of them have a book bible to help me keep track of things.

WhatItsWorth 201x300 Coffee With Lynne SilverRae: Your Worthy Series has a realness to it, did you spend time in Miami to capture all those little details? Can we expect more books in this series? Other series?

Lynne: I grew up in Miami and my parents still live there. I go down several times a year. The Worthy series is really a love song to my hometown. I’m thinking that Javier and Gabriel will be getting stories. But not for a while.

Rae: I know that you love baseball, are you excited about where your team is heading into the playoffs?

Lynne: Of course I’m excited that the Nationals are NL East Division champs!!! Bring on October!

Rae: Can we expect to see any sports infused into your books?

Lynne: Unlikely. I like sports romances, but I think other authors have cornered that market.

Rae: When you are writing a book, do you plot it out page by page, chapter by chapter? Or, do your characters guide you?

Lynne: I plot out story beats and do character sketches. That’s about it.

Rae: What can we expect to see on the bookshelves in the upcoming months? Do you have any new series in the works that you can give us a tease?

Lynne: I have a story called The Breeder coming out in January with Carina Press’s Dirty Bits line. It’s set in a future dystopian America, and it’s definitely the dirtiest thing I’ve ever written. How’s that for a tease?

Rae: It was so much fun having you here today!

16. If you could pick a book you’ve read and make it into a movie, which book would it be (besides yours 🙂 )? None. Movies tend to ruin books. e.g. Harry Potter.

17. What’s your favorite movie of all time and why? Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, An American President

18. Would you rather see a movie in the theater or at home on DVD and why? Home. I like bathroom breaks and organic air popped popcorn.

19. What is the one thing you can’t live without? My family

20. If you could invite 5 people to dinner (not friends and family – that’s too easy) who would be at your table? Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Issa Rae, Anna Kendrick, Ellen DeGeneres. We’d laugh our asses off.

21. If you could try any career for a day, what would it be? Librarian

22. Person you admire and why? Michelle Obama because she never lost her cool at all the haters. And her clothes.

23. Most memorable sports game? Nationals walk off with Werth hitting the home run to clinch.

24. Fangirl moment – athlete, actor, singer…who and where? Dave Grohl at the Hard Rock hotel in Vegas. I followed him around the casino. He’s teeny- like I’d break him in half.

Rae: Thanks again for hanging out! Time for another spiced latte 🙂

Happy Reading Dear Readers. Happy Writing Lynne
