Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 noon
Location: Meeting Room

Lynde Lakes, author of romantic suspense, paranormal suspense, mainstream, and non-fiction invites you to join her for her talk on writing about raw edged men who punch cattle for a living.  Her talk will cover the plus and minuses of writing Westerns, and offer practical hints on how to survive the bumpy road to publication.  As an added bonus, she’ll share an excerpt from the first book in her Ryan Ranch Trilogy, COWBOY LIES, a romantic intrigue where amnesia, baby trafficking and the FBI mesh into a terrifying web of deception.

The talk will be of interest for adult readers and writers of the cowboy genre or writers in general and is intended to educate and entertain.
