The meeting is at 10 a.m., upstairs in the Blue Room of the big Library on Oak St., in Visalia.
Krista has a lot to offer us as writers. She'll be talking about editing our own work, her own writing, and her graphics business.
She will also answer any question we might have on those subjects.
It’s no
mystery why Krista Lynn writes about the high desert ofwww.kristallynn.com Arizona. She grew up on a gold
mine about 60 miles north of Phoenix. The closest neighbor was 6 miles or so
down the Agua Fria River, or another 20 miles by dirt road.
The magic and
spirit of a rugged, isolated landscape where mysteries are carried on the wind,
and whispered in your sleep are the multi-colored threads woven into her series.
Before
embarking on the writer’s path, Krista taught physical geography and GIS
courses at CSUF and Fresno City College a GIS program to assist agricultural
research. She lives in California with her husband and a menagerie of dogs,
goats and one spoiled horse while continuing to write the Canyon Trilogy and an
anthology of cozy mysteries.
Within Sunset
Canyon, deep in the Arizona desert, the love a young woman feels for her mysterious
lover grows deeper every year, though her heart stopped beating
over a century ago - stilled by the one she loves. What magic could cause
this? What ancient Indian witchcraft could hold her and make her part of The
Haunting of Sunset Canyon?
When
Darcy Peel left Dry Creek, Arizona, to go to graduate school, she thought she
had left for good. She never thought she would come back to the small
high-desert community nestled in the shadow of Prospector’s Mountain or that
she’d have to go into the legendary red rock gorge known in Indian lore as the
“Canyon that Sees the Sun.” But, now she is compelled to return and find her
sister who is lost in the canyon—like her father and brother before her.
Research
documents and a little leather-covered book that her sister sent before she
disappeared, offer clues and brings back memories and dreams of a young woman
trapped in the canyon. On the trail to the truth, Darcy meets Alan Brandt, a
young deputy with ties to her family’s past and possessing hidden abilities
that link him to stories of ghost warriors. Can she trust him to help find her
sister as he promises? Or is she being trapped by the mountain’s magic -
seduced by her attraction to a man with an uncanny connection to the deadly legends?

The Haunting of Sunset Canyon, Volume One. This story line is one that will
keep readers engrossed from the first page all the way through to the very
last!”

Volume 1 is well-written, finely plotted, and a joy to read. I’m looking
forward to the next book in this supernatural series. Blood Stones is most
highly recommended.”

“Krista Lynn's story of love, lies and mystical
happenings in the high desert of Arizona is a journey to more than the mines
beyond Phoenix. It's a journey inside Native American folklore, legends and
beliefs. The advantage to a longer novel, like Blood Stones is that you really
get to know the characters well and if it's written with talent by the time you
finish the book, you miss the characters who've kept you company for the last
10 days. Such is the case with Blood Stones and I'm looking forward to the next
novel in this fascinating series. Well done, Ms. Lynn.” Kim Hornsby for “Kimmy’s Korner” book
reviews.
