When people ask me why I opened a bookstore in the age of ebooks and audiobooks. Here’s why. #booksky

Shellwyn is officially out in the world and she came in strong. She reached #31 in her category on Amazon on release day. I’m over here trying to remember how to breathe. Thank you to everyone who grabbed a copy. You made this happen.

Shellwyn is here. 💙🐚
The prequel to The Winberrie Journals is now live on Kindle.

Another scam alert!!!

Jane Friedman (@janefriedman) on Threads

There is SO much fraud and scammy activity out there. Be vigilant. Here is an example of someone impersonating me. They even included a detail about my travel schedule that was accurate. BE VIGILANT.

No one can “submit your site to ChatGPT’s knowledge graph”. That does not exist. OpenAI does not sell indexing or placement.

Best way to get noticed: real content, real presence, real connections. Save your money.

Back to work after the holiday and honestly, I’m glad. When you love what you do, returning doesn’t feel like obligation. It feels like coming home.

I set the to-do list aside yesterday and spent the afternoon in my woods. Sometimes the best work you can do is taking care of yourself. 🌿

Good books don’t just sit on shelves. They wait, patiently, for you.

Inspiration doesn’t always strike with fireworks. Sometimes it’s a coffee shop conversation, the sound of rain, or a single line from a book. Writers just have to notice.

What’s sparked your ideas lately?

Greg Iles passed away yesterday, and my heart is heavy. His work inspired me to write paranormal thrillers in the first place. His stories showed me how deep, human, and haunting good writing can be, and I will always be grateful for that spark. Rest in peace, Greg. Your words will live on.

Headed out to Perryville Battlefield today. Ghosts, get ready! If I get spooked, someone send snacks. 👻🔦 Wish me luck! Can’t wait to see some of the best people ever! #ParanormalAdventure #FromTheGroundUpBooks #weirdosinthewild

Lately I’ve been reflecting on just how far things have come.

Running 2 bookstores, Pixie Drops, coach indie authors,ghost hunts, & write books.

It’s a lot & everything I’ve worked for.

All with a community that shows up, supports, and believes in it all.

Thank you for being part of it.

This weekend I get to check something big off my paranormal bucket list with a full investigation at the historic Perryville Battlefield. Even better, I get to do it with some of the most amazing friends a person could ask for. I’m feeling grateful and so ready to see what the night has in store.

Lynn Tincher @lynntincher.bsky.social · Aug 2

Oh, sure. I love how my creative brain waits until bedtime to start drafting novels, rearranging bookstore shelves, and mentally scripting awkward conversations. Sleep is totally overrated anyway. Thanks, imagination. You’re the best. #CreativeInsomnia #WhoNeedsRest #AuthorLife #SendHelp

Sending love and strength to everyone affected by last night’s earthquake off the coast of Russia. Disasters like this remind us how connected we all are across oceans and borders. Thinking of the communities impacted and the first responders on the ground. Stay safe. 💙

Got maybe two hours of sleep. Storms were wild, the dogs were shaking, and my brain wouldn’t shut up about a dozen new ideas. Basically just out here today, existing out of spite.

I love these little tiny pop up thunderstorms. My dogs? Not so much.
