I'm so happy to be a stop on the book tour for
MEMORIES AND MURDER
Book 10 in the Tourist Trap Mysteries
by Lynn Cahoon
It’s October in South Cove, California, and the locals in the quaint resort seem to be happily pairing off in the lull before the holidays. Everyone, that is, except for Jill Gardner’s elderly aunt, who just dumped her besotted fiancé—and she won’t say why.
When Jill hosts a talk at Coffee, Books, and More on the topic of elder abuse, all that’s really on her mind is lunch. But the topic hits close to home when she discovers Aunt Jackie has been getting mysterious calls. Jill’s certain the caller is a con artist, of course, but her feisty aunt claims to understand this, though she’s still shaken—and Harrold’s still heartbroken. Who’s behind the scam and why was her aunt targeted? When a volunteer from the Senior Project is found murdered, Jill’s detective boyfriend is on the case—and it soon becomes clear no one is safe when a caller from beyond becomes a killer in their midst.

A WORD WITH LYNN CAHOON
LKBR: Thank you for being here today, Lynn!
LC: Thanks
for having me over again, Lisa! I love being here for your readers.
LKBR: Please
tell us a bit about you, and your book/series.
LC: I’ve
been writing for over ten years now – published in mystery since 2014 – so this
was my five-year anniversary. Tourist
Trap – was my first series with Kensington and it’s still going strong. Jill,
Greg, Amy, and Aunt Jackie have become like family to me. Memories and Murder
answers a few questions left hanging at the end of Killer Party as well as
looks at the Mission Wall mystery in Jill’s back yard.
Official
bio - NYT and USA Today bestselling and award-winning
author, Lynn Cahoon, pens several cozy mystery series. The Tourist Trap series
is set in central coastal California includes nine, soon to be ten, novels with
six holiday novellas. She also pens the Cat Latimer series (set in Colorado)
available in mass market paperback. The Farm to Fork mystery series is set in
her home state of Idaho. No matter where the mystery is set, readers can expect
a fun ride. She lives in a small town like the ones she loves to write about
with her husband and three fur babies. Sign up for her newsletter at www.lynncahoon.com
LKBR: Any hints
or spoilers you can give us about your next book?
LKBR: Have you ever written a scene that you loved but had to
remove it for the sake of the story?
LC: I’ve
had to adjust scenes because either they didn’t do anything or they led down
the wrong path. But typically since I’m a pantser, the story flows how it’s
supposed to flow.
LKBR: Have you ever gotten reader’s block?
Just find it hard to get into reading because you are so into your writing?
LKBR: Are there any
magazines/publications that as a writer you subscribe to? Are these or others
something readers could also benefit from?
LC: I’ve stopped my
magazine subscriptions due to lack of time. I also don’t watch/read most news
stories. I get a top 6 overview from CNN in my email and the rest I get from
Facebook. You’d be surprised how much news I can glean from Facebook posts. If
I want more, I Google it.
LKBR: Is there anything
you would give up if you thought it would make you an even better writer?
LC: Dieting? Working
out? The hard stuff I need to do? But
no, probably not. I rarely take time for myself now, so it’s something I have
to force myself to set the writing down at least at times. And hope I don’t
feel guilty.
LKBR: Any new projects
in the works?
LC:
Always. I’m currently writing a light
paranormal cozy mystery for Kensington. Think Bewitched meets Supernatural, all
set in a Hallmark movie. 😊 And
my agent is shopping a new series (non-cozy) that I’d love to write.
LKBR: If you
could ask your readers 3 questions, what would they be?
LC: Digital
or print? How do you find new authors? Can you share your love for my series to
another mystery reader?
LKBR: Where can
readers go to learn more about you and your books?
LC: Media links.
