Identifying her parents was the hardest thing ever, until Kaya learned she was the killer’s next target. Moving had thrown the ancient predator off her trail temporarily but with magical abilities manifesting, Kaya’s scent grows stronger and the attempts on her life become constant. Narrowly surviving each encounter, Kaya is desperate to stop her potential assassin, but it’s hard to kill a creature that changes its appearance and disappears without a trace. Kaya finds the support she needs to succeed in her small group of friends and her boyfriend Kenneth. Like so many things, they’re more than what they seem and with the killer having unsettling similarities to Kenneth and his family…Kaya can’t help but wonder if there’s a connection.
Lynn Veevers is originally from Washington State. With her mother being from Christchurch, New Zealand and her father being a well-traveled retired Navy Chief, Lynn has always had a fascination with different cultures around the world. An avid reader, she prefers books that take her to a place she’s never been and teach her something new at the same time. The Young Adult Genre is her absolute favorite to read, so it comes as no surprise that it is also her favorite to write. Lynn, on average, pens two to three novels a year with the sequel to Pinnacle in the publishing process now!
Today Lynn lives with her husband and kids in Southeast Oklahoma. Her young adult and adolescent children are supportive and avid beta readers of her work and give her a straightforward and honest point of view about how authentic her characters voices and personalities are for their age group. What better reference than someone close to the same age as the main character. Her kids always have and always will be her greatest inspiration.

What is on your nightstand?
Well my nightstand is actually my computer desk lol! I get most of my inspiration comes when I’m asleep, so it only makes sense to have my computer, mouse, key board, and monitor within an arm’s reach. On my desk is also a picture of my children, a vase of paper flowers my oldest girl (18) made for me, a bottle of cucumber melon hand lotion, and a glass of pens.
What author would you totally fan?
Brenda Drake Hands down! She is a multifaceted woman who writes fantastic YA fantasy and gives back selflessly to the literary community. She has been a total source of inspiration for me!
What makes you cringe?
When it comes to being cringe-worthy a couple things come to mind. The first is seeing someone, it doesn’t matter who, get hurt. I am a very empathic person someone in pain bothers me in a real way. The second thing (don’t laugh) is clowns. I just can’t.
Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
It depends on the story. If it’s fantasy I tend to go with the flow while my contemporary and paranormal stories are more structured.
Is there a word you love to use?
I don’t have a particular love for anyone word when it comes to writing, however with everyday life verbally I do have a word I love to hear. It makes my day every time I hear it, even if it is in the form of a whine… Mom <3

Thanks for the giveaway; I like the cover. 🙂
Thanks so much I sent a sketch into the cover designer and she brought the cover to life a hundred times better than I could have ever dreamed of!. I am all about reading some a gift card to a bookstore just made sense!
Loving the cover & the sound of this.
Thank you so much! The cover was something I originally thought wasn’t going to come together or be possible but my cover artist really surprised me!! She is amazing!
I think it’s wonderful that you turn to your kids for honest reviews–that speaks to great communication and trust between you.
Thanks, Beth, yes my kids are a very integral part of my writing process, my whole journey to publication started when my son pushed me to query the story I wrote for him! It was an as soon as he came home, “Did you write any more today!” kind of ordeal. He listened to every chapter I wrote as I wrote it, (he likes me to read to him, even at 17 lol) That’s how Pinnacle and the Cored Series started!
New to me author. Thanks for hosting.
The cover looks great – one I would proudly display on my bookshelf.
Wow I know you can’t see it, but I am blushing what a compliment! Thank you so much! 🙂
Congrats on your upcoming book release!
Thank you, Mary! I am still a little flabbergasted, it’s completely surreal. My husband said reality will strike when I do the first signing on my tour this coming Saturday in Oklahoma City. Truth be told I’m nervous lol!
