Today I have the honor of interviewing a great Romance Author Ms. C Lynette.
LaToya: When did you begin your writing career?
C. Lynette: My writing
career officially began when I started college. I went to MSU and graduated
with a BA in Journalism. I have 17 articles, 2 op-eds and one magazine feature
piece published. I started writing books in 2014 after encouragement from a few
author friends.
LaToya: What’s your inspiration
for writing?
C. Lynette: My inspiration
is my need to make a name for myself. Quite often I’ve felt that I didn’t fit
in to any one particular group. Writing is a way for me to be in a “clique”
with an assortment of people.
LaToya: What kind of legacy do
you expect your writing to leave?
C. Lynette: I expect my
legacy to be that girl who “started from the bottom now I’m here.” I want to be
able to write different genres and people to not associate me with just one
type of book. I want someone to be able to look back and say, she really
shocked the world.
LaToya: What are you currently
working on?
C. Lynette: Ebony Articles:
Volume 2 (erotic romance), What You Got Me (street lit) and an untitled
horror/thriller.
LaToya: Name one book that you
would categorize as a life changing read.
C. Lynette: She’s Come
Undone. A family friend gave it to me while I was going through a particularly
hard time socially at the age of 15. And ever since then, I’ve hit the ground
running.
LaToya: Tell us about your
latest book.
C. Lynette: It’s sexy, it’s
short but it’s not your typical erotic book. The language isn’t to make anyone
uncomfortable, but sex is an everyday part of life. It is a journal, of sorts,
about the sexual adventures or misadventures of real-life women.
LaToya: Name a book you wish
you’d written.
C. Lynette: I wish I had written
any or all of the Harry Potter books. Apparently JK Rowling is sitting on a
pretty nice fortune.
LaToya: Give readers 3 reasons
to buy your book.
C. Lynette: It’s
different from your normal erotic romance novels. The stories are very relatable and since I was giving most of the
stories directly from the sources (yes I did mini interviews for this) I
believe it gives the reader more. Because it’s only 99 cents
LaToya: Is your book based on
real life events?
C. Lynette: Yes it is. I can
only confirm that everything in this book has happened based on what was
relayed to me and/or what I’ve personally observed.
LaToya: Will you consider being
a mentor to a young up and coming author?
C. Lynette: I’d love to! Of
course, I’m still a young up and coming author myself.
LaToya: Are you currently working
on anything you want to share with us?
C. Lynette: This is my
current WIP from my untitled horror/thriller piece (unedited and raw)
It was a clear, warm and sunny day outside. People were walking the
streets of Detroit, enjoying friends and conversations that flowed with the
breeze.
In the near distance the blaring of sirens were heard as fire engines
and ambulances rushed from where they were docked to the Renaissance building
downtown. Passersby began to gather and mumble about what was going on. What
was all the distraction about? There shouldn’t have been any fuss.
Suddenly, everyone looked up and as a man tossed himself out of a 42nd
floor window. As his body fell with gravity, his arms didn’t flail, he hardly
made a sound. He almost appeared lifeless. But it was clear he was not. A
police officer was motioning everyone to stay behind him.
He continued to fall gracefully, as if he hadn’t a care in the world.
Then he suddenly turned to face the street. The people turned their backs, not
wanting to see the impact of his body hitting the street, or the amount of
brain matter and blood splattered everywhere.
LaToya: How can readers connect
with you: (Please include social media, website link, and link to your amazon
author page, etc.)
C. Lynette: I love hearing

LaToya: What advice would you
give to an inspiring authors?
C. Lynette: Deadlines and
procrastination do not mix. If you are a self-publishing author, please follow
the deadlines you set for yourself or you’ll discover you’re behind the curve
and struggling to catch up!
