For much of my life, the four weeks before Christmas were jam packed with parties, mostly work related and therefore obligatory, shopping excursions to unearth novel gifts for people who did not need them. And making plans for a much needed vacation when the week of Christmas and New Year’s finally arrived. The holiday held […]

What is it it about dogs? Some call it the ‘cute factor’, others talk about the unconditional nature of their love, while still others maintain that their dog (s) is the best friend they have ever had. A recent survey reveals that many of us spend more for our dogs health care than on our […]

“Go to church.” I surprised myself when I said it. My friend had been quietly explaining her deep concern about her experience with public school. After years of home schooling her children, she and her husband had decided the kids needed socialization so they enrolled their children in school. Anxiety written all over her face, […]

The battle over health: Health is a word which should not invoke military imagery like war or battle. And yet the lines have been drawn with stakes which have seldom been greater. Many decades ago the wars began, the war against heart disease, the war against cancer, naming only a few. With the introduction of […]

Happiness: Feeling or decision? “So, how exactly, do you decide to be happy?” My friend looked bemusedly at me as she replied to my statement that I thought happiness was a decision we made. “LOOK at that tree!” I exclaimed loudly and with vehemence, knowing that my reply to her question required more than a […]

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!
