Today
is the release day for yesterday’s reviewed book, “Chasing Secrets” by Lynette
Eason! Because of that reason, we’re having an interview with the super sweet
author!
BFCG:
Hi
Miss Lynette! We’re so happy to have you on ‘Books
for Christian Girls’ today! Thank you so much for letting us interview you!
Let’s start this off by asking if you could please tell us about the girls of
the Elite Guardian series and what they do in your own words.
LE: Hi BFCG! Thank you so
much for having me. It’s always a pleasure to talk books and writing. J The Elite Guardian series comprises four
friends who met at an all female bodyguard agency. With diverse backgrounds,
they nevertheless, found each other and in doing so, became one another’s
support system. Olivia Edwards is the head of the Elite Guardians agency—or at
least the agency was her idea—but the other three, Katie, Maddy, and Haley, all
became equal partners at some point before the series begins. They’re
bodyguards and they protect their clients—sometimes whether the client likes it
or not!
BFCG:
I’ve
loved reading about these tough girls, their families, & what motivates
them! It’s been so fascinating! Would you ever want to be a bodyguard?
LE: Me?? Absolutely not!
I’m the biggest chicken in the world! It’s easy to write that stuff, but I sure
don’t want to live it.
BFCG: Chasing
Secrets is full of bullets, bombs, and bad guys. What is the key to capturing
the adrenaline of those moments on paper?
LE: When I write, it’s
almost like I’m transcribing a movie that’s playing out in my head. When the
words spill out onto the computer screen, I guess that high-intensity comes across.
Which is really cool.
BFCG:
When
your readers are in a funk over reading the last book of this awesome series (I
already am!), which of your other books do you suggest we read next?
LE: Aw…so sorry for the
funk…and yet glad for it, too! LOL. It means I did my job! I would say: Start
the next series! The Blue Justice series starts releasing at the beginning of
2018 and I think you’ll love the St. John family just as much as the Elite
Guardians.
BFCG:
This
blog is based on the verse Philippians 4:8 {“…whatever
is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if
anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”}. Is there a part of
that Scripture that stands out to you?
LE: “…dwell on these
things.” I think that’s so important. Sure, I write about crime and bad guys
and have some violence in my stories, but ultimately, the stories area about
searching for truth, portraying honorable characters who fight for what is
right. They believe in protecting innocence and purity, and so on. God is in
the stories…and He is the one the characters understand they need to rely on
and trust in times of trouble. :) I love writing those
kinds of stories!
I love that last answer! It’s so very true! Thank you
so much, Miss Lynette, for joining us today on BFCG!
