Our first
Christian Fiction author, Rebekah Lyn, has stopped on by to share with us her
published novels and works in progress, along with another enjoyment of hers—cooking
and baking. She shares recipes on her blog, http://rebekahlynskitchen.wordpress.com, so stop on by to see
what’s cooking.
Rebekah is a Christian
with a heart for new beginnings. She is a Florida native and a graduate of
Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Fl. A love of history, research and
journaling naturally led to a passion for writing. She enjoys traveling and has
traveled extensively across the United States and Canada, as well as Europe and
the Caribbean. Her reading tastes run from the classics to light fiction. Rebekah
currently resides in Florida along with her "attack" cat, Mia.
Her current works include, Summer Storms, the first book in The Seasons of Faith series, and Julianne, the first book in The Coastal Chronicle series. She is currently working on Winter's End, the much-awaited sequel to Summer Storms.
Julianne Synopsis
Julianne is a story
about a young woman’s struggle to find inner peace and spirituality. Julianne
Finnegan has experienced relationship issues, career confusion, and is overshadowed
by a successful sibling. Dissatisfaction is evident in every facet of her life.
She meets Oliver, a
handsome young actor who struggles with demons of his own. Through her
encounter with Oliver, Julianne begins to learn about faith in herself and in
others, although she is faced with some difficult choices when a former love
appears. Julianne is an exploration of the guidance we may seek in establishing
relationships with others and a higher power.
What made
you write Julianne?
Rebekah started
writing Julianne out of frustration with her day job, and then she put it in a
drawer for almost 10 years. A lot of Julianne's frustrations were based on her own
career challenges, and it was cathartic to write about her out of that
circumstance. When she started writing it, Rebekah didn’t know she was
going to end up writing a story with a Christian message. When she was about
halfway through, God showed her this and it was her strength and her
opportunity to show the love and acceptance available through a relationship
with Christ.
Self-Publishing?
She started out planning
to go the traditional publishing route with her first novel, Summer Storms, but it was taking a long
time to reach agents, wait for them to get back to her, and then start all over
again. Rebekah really felt that Summer Storms was a story that needed to be
told and decided to take the plunge into self-publishing.
