Synopsis:
When fifteen-year-old
Chloe mysteriously disappears, the rumors at Grammaire Hall point to murder,
but spiritual entrapment isn’t the same as dead. In a library that’s believed
to be nothing more than a myth, Chloe’s spirit is separated from her body after
witnessing another student’s murder. Try as she may she can’t remember what
happened to her before she woke up as a spirit in the campus graveyard. As
Chloe uncovers clues leading to the mythical library’s location and her body, a
secret the Magical Parliament doesn’t want to get out, starts to unravel. Rogue
sorcerers have infiltrated the school, intent on reinstating the Third Edict,
and sorcery students are dying because of it. Destroyed long ago for horrific
crimes against humanity, the return of the Third Edict would spell disaster for
both magical and magicless societies. To prevent her own demise and the
fulfillment of the Third Edict’s return, Chloe must find a way to reunite body
and soul without giving the rogue sorcerers the weapon they need to succeed, a
weapon only Chloe can activate.
Author Interview:

1.  What does your
writing process look like? Do you know the whole story when you start?  Or do you just start writing and go with it
(seat of the pants writing)?  If you plan
it out, how do you do that?  Outline,
notecards, post-it-notes, etc.?
   
I am guilty, completely guilty of
letting the characters tell me how the story will go as I am writing it. After
they are done with all their exploring I go back and clean up whatever chaotic
messes they made.
2. Are you part of a writers group that gets together and
helps each other with their writing?
 
I am an RWA (Romance Writers of America) member with PAN Status J.
3.  How do you come up
with your ideas for your stories?
 
I get my ideas from anything and everything. My family can be sitting
around the table and talking and a lot of the time as I am listening to there
thoughts and speculations on different topics, I think, “That would be a great
premise for a book”. Then there are dreams, yeah that is actually a thing.
4.  What tips do you
have for aspiring writers?
 
Write
first, get the story out and then go back and revise! Also beta readers are a
gold mine!
5.   What are your
favorite:
Books/authors/genres: I have too many favorite books and authors to list but my favorite
genres are fantasy, romance and dystopian in the vein of Hunger Games and
Divergent.
Movies/TV Shows: Avatar! As for TV shows I loved Stitchers, The Lying Game  and still love Shadow Hunters. I also loved
Bones and House.
Music: Country,
Southern Rock and Classic Rock
Food/Writing snack: Anything salty! I love tortilla chips

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

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

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.
