MVRAI President's Award 2025

 Isn't she pretty? We couldn't get her to work at the meeting, but I think the dimmer button was all the way down, because I plugged it in, hit the buttons and presto...of course getting the video to work is another story...

Once I get done cleaning my oh, so, trashed office, I'll find her a nice place.

Welcome

 Hi, and welcome to the new Denise Lynn blog page. Notice I didn't say improved, because it's not there yet. Still working on it. So, please, bear with me while I steal time here and there to whip it into shape.  

In the meantime - as in when I find a template I actually like -- I'll be adding pages and posts here and there, so check in occasionally for any "new" news.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, one more thing. I've coaxed Sir Perseus out of retirement. You'll notice him, dressed in his fabulous red and gold, at the bottom of the page. He's there to safely guide you back to the Denise Lynn Website.  Just give him a little click and off you'll go. 

Until later -- Be well and take care,

Upcoming Release ~ Good News and The Not So Good

 Good news first.

Yay! Finally, Edan gets his story! The Warrior's Rescued Bride will be released February 24, 2026. It'll be available from the Harlequin site on February 1st, 2026.

A forced-proximity, second-chance Medieval romance 

The warrior’s mission: 

rescue his first love! 

The King can order Edan of Roul to rescue Lady Amice but, years after she jilted him on their wedding eve, Edan doesn’t have to like it. Though he embarks on the dangerous journey to bring the stubborn beauty to safety, Edan must resist the undying pull between them…

When her loved ones were threatened, Amice fled her betrothal to protect Edan. Now reunited, she still sees pain, anger—and desire—burning in his eyes. Telling him the truth will only stoke the fire that once consumed them… And with battle approaching, can they risk everything to make the vows they always intended?

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.

And now the bad news:

It's my last medieval for Harlequin, as they will discontinue publishing medieval and Viking stories sometime in 2026. Basically, any historical set before the late 1700s has been taken off their "want" list. So, so sad about that, but so goes life.  

Being a typical writer, "Never Say Die" is my current motto. In an attempt to find another era that captured my attention, I discovered, or rediscovered, The Scarlet Pimpernel - the series on BritBox or maybe Roku, I'm not certain which, because I've been massively binge-watching things of late. Oh, my, I did fall in love with Richard E Grant as Percy.  Just look at those eyes -- oh, my, my, sink me, he's such a cutie.  LOL.

So, natch, I've been doing a lot of research on the 1790s. We'll have to wait and see where that goes. In the meantime, I'm working on a romantic suspense series...yes, contemporary. Flexing my wings, so to speak. 

It'll be interesting to see where the future takes me. If nothing else, it certainly won't be boring.

Until next time, take care.
