Writing- why do we do it? The first draft of my fourth novel is done. And is now with the editor. I have time now, time I’ve not had for many months. A break until the work of revisions begins again. Reflecting about writing- why do we do it? works for this week’s post because […]

Culture of superlatives: What does that mean, exactly? Recently, I’ve become aware of my tendency to use superlatives both in my writing and in speaking. Consequently, I’ve been thinking a lot about word selection, both mine and that of others. The fourth in the Lindsey McCall medical mystery series, Malthus Revisited: The Cup of Wrath […]

Bet you pride yourself on being a logical thinker. Most of do. We’ve been schooled in Descarte’s Cogito Ergo Sum- I think therefore I am. The same Descartes who performed autopsies on live dogs, the euphemism vivisection sounds far more rational, doesn’t it? He claimed that their screams were merely neurological responses by non-rational organisms who […]

About Lin Wilder

I, Claudia is published.

Since we have the cover for My Name is Saul! I’m already working on my next novel of the ancient world

This new story of  of St. Paul’s early life requires some fairly rigorous study of mosaic law and history. With specific attention to some of the great minds of the Jewish ancient faith and traditions. Primary among them is Gamaliel a prominent Sanhedrin scholar and teacher of Saul. My stack of research books is growing by the week.

You may be wondering if this new direction into novels of the ancient world signifies the end of the Lindsey McCall mystery series. I think yes, at least at this point, I have written all I know about Lindsey, Rich and their world.

Of course, that could change. But these novels of the ancient world can potentially keep me busy until the day when I stop writing.

The new genre excites me because Judaism has long been a fascination. In fact, back during those days of believing in nothing at all, it was at a Jewish wedding where I put words to the unspoken thoughts that I needed a faith, tradition, one where I belonged. But that is another story!

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
