L.J. Wynn - Author

I've got more news!

I have FOUR short stories published in this anthology. They're super short stories, at only 500 words each, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

I know it's been a hot minute since I've been active on social media. Life has been busy, busy, busy. But I've got wonderful news for readers: new anthologies containing stories by yours truly! Stay turned for more!

If you're looking for a challenge and are undertaking NaNoWriMo, add me as a buddy. I'm LJWynn_Author.

Why not try to write 50,000 words in a month on of top of everything else?

Do you like twists on fairy tales? My tale, "The Window to the Soul," appearing in this anthology, is a spin on Snow White. If you like an antagonistic step-mother and a different kind of magic mirror, you'll want to check this one out!

Look what showed up this weekend!

The second anthology is now available in paperback from Amazon! Order yours today!! 📖

It's nice and cool here this morning, so I can smell spooky season in the air. I wish it wouldn't get blazingly hot later today 🤣

Get yourself in the spooky mood with my story "The Hand that Leads You," in the Iron Faerie Publishing anthology Nightfall, out now!

If you've bought the book and read at least one story (mine?), will you be so kind as to write a review? Your honest reviews help more readers find the book, which means you help them find me, too! Thank you ❤️

My latest story is published! In this amazing anthology from Iron Faerie Publishing, you get some PNR from some amazing authors.

Yours truly wrote a story about a feisty witch who has a small mystery to solve involving a very special will o' the wisp...

Be sure to check it out!

Are you on Instagram? If so, come hang out with my good friend and fellow author J.M. Rhineheart - Author and me tomorrow at 11 am MDT!

We're going to be celebrating recent/upcoming releases by spending a little time chatting about her story "Of Quests, Firefighters, and Reluctant Witches," appearing in the upcoming anthology "25 Servings of SOOP," releasing later this month.

J.M.'s story is one of my favorites and I can't wait to read more. Come help me encourage her to keep exploring this world, because I definitely need to read more of these characters!

I'll also be chatting about my story, "The Briny Deep," from the Fiction-Atlas Press anthology, "From the Deep," on sale now at your favorite online retailer books2read.com/fromthedeep

Poll: is it a poor life choice to stay up way too late reading a good book?

Asking for a friend 💁‍♀️

Calliope 'Cal' Marin is the main character in my short story, "The Briny Deep." It is the story of mine being printed in From the Deep.

Cal is a college student who is facing some major changes, both in the lakes where she finds her peace and in her life as a whole.

If you want to read more from Cal, be sure to pick up your copy of From the Deep through the universal link below.

And if you want to read Cal's story now, message me for the chance to be an advance reader. You'll get an advance copy of my short story for free. I just ask that you post a review of the anthology based on your reaction to my story in exchange.

Long time no post! I'm so sorry. Life has gotten crazy busy here lately. Between running kiddos to sports practices and games, trying to write, and getting some subbing jobs in, I've had minimal time for social media.

Thanks for all your support, and I hope to be keeping you entertained for many days and months to come. I'll keep writing to keep you all reading :)

Happy Sunday! It's been a crazy week here - I substitute teach in addition to writing and had my first kindergarten classroom experience. Those kids are so sweet! But goodness was I tired when I got home. Took Friday night to write and relax and yesterday my daughter and I spent time together.

How are you spending your weekend? Reading anything good?

I think the best part of getting published and being my author-self is the amount of new book reads I've already acquired. R.i.p. my TBR list 😂

What are you reading lately? I chewed through five books in a series this weekend, so I'm taking a tiny break from reading whole books in a sitting and doing short stories for now.

Chime in with what you're reading!

As part of the book release, there's an amazing giveaway going on! If you head to this site, you can enter to win the giveaway. Just follow the steps. And don't forget, some of the tasks are daily, so you can earn even more chances to win if you do those tasks each day!

When I decided to write a piece to submit to the From the Deep anthology, I asked my kiddo if he would mind creating a piece to serve as inspiration for me. I had a couple of false starts, but this piece is near and dear to me because he took my request and ran with it.

He created a kraken for me. There may or may not be a kraken in my short story in the anthology 😉

My first story to be accepted for publishing and I am so lucky to be in the ranks with 13 amazing authors. If you hurry, you can still pre-order for $.99. The price will be raising to $2.99, so hurry for that sweet, sweet, pre-order pricing!
