** For a free starter library of two books in the series, go to LyndaMcDanielBooks online. I love writing page-turners—both fiction and nonfiction. And I love coaching others to do the same, living into their dreams of writing books. I got my start as a writer in the most unlikely place—a town of 200 people in the mountains of North Carolina. But living there changed my life in so many positive ways. My Appalachian Mountain Mysteries--"A Life for a Life," "The Roads to Damascus," "Welcome the Little Children," "Murder Ballad Blues," "Deep in the Forest," "Up the Creek," "Unwrapped," and "About Dusk"--pay homage to the people of Appalachia who taught me so much. And to Mollie the Wonder Dog, who plays a role in every book starting with "The Roads to Damascus" (called Millie in that book). To read more stories from the mountains and to keep up to date with Abit, Della, and the gang (plus receive a free novelette, "Waiting for You," that pulls back the curtain on Abit's and Della's lives before they met in Laurel Falls), just head over to my website, Lynda McDaniel Books. Over the years, I've written more than 1,200 articles for major magazines and newspapers. I'm proudest of the 21 books I’ve written. My nonfiction books include my Write Faster Series. "Words at Work," which I wrote straight from my heart, is a much-needed response to all the questions and concerns people have about writing today. (It won top honors from the National Best Books Awards.) "How Not to Sound Stupid When You Write" and "How to Write Stories that Sell" complete the series. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, but I've lived all over this country—from the Midwest to the Deep South to Appalachia to the Mid-Atlantic to the Pacific Northwest. Whew! I finally settled by the sea in Eureka, California, a place that reflects the values I learned while living in the mountains of North Carolina, all those years ago.
