  “Doesn’t this make you feel like you’re about to explode?” My new Benedictine Oblate sculptor friend Jan Aiijan and I grinned at one another in recognition. On the heels of my enthusiastic yes to Jan’s first question, she asked “Have you heard the phrase ‘lucid intoxication’?” Once again, we smiled at one another in appreciation […]

About Lin Wilder

My Name is Saul was released on Ash Wednesday to some good reviews. a cool author interview, best book of the month award. and a neat LitPick book trailer. Litpick also did a lovely book trailer on I, Claudia. I, Claudia continues to accumulate  great reviews.

My new book, Plausible Liars, the fifth in the Dr. Lindsey McCall medical mystery series, feels like the most challenging novel I have ever written. Already, the Prologue has changed three times and the first 10,000 words overhauled considerably.

I am forcing myself to remember that when I made the switch to historical fiction with I, Claudia and subsequently My Name is Saul, I felt the same way: overwhelmed and frequently asking myself, “What have I gotten myself into?” But quite honestly, those memories do not help a whole lot. For it is here and now- early June- and my young protagonist, Zoey Carmichael is proving to be a formidable character, not only for me, but for Dr. Lindsey McCall and her compatriots. Here is the current working Prologue in case you want to take a peek.

I must tell you of my delight in writing about Lindsey and Rich’s two dogs, Max and Gus, once again. Max is not very loosely based on our last remarkable red Dobie boy Ally, whom we lost far too soon while Gus is an excellent facsimile of our zany, inimitable Seymour.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
