Minion Spotlight: Lynne Cantwell

author lynne cantwell iu hatAs you probably know by now, the staff authors here at Indies Unlimited are referred to as minions. No one is sure exactly how or when that started, but it stuck. What you may not realize is that all the minions (and everyone) here at IU work for free. That’s right, they don’t get a dime out of this. They do it out of the goodness of their hearts. So our Fearless Leader (admin) thought it would be nice to give some props to the minions by featuring each of them in a spotlight interview. We hope you enjoy it.

What is your name?

Lynne Cantwell. Although I also answer to Mom, Mum, Woman, and “Hey, lady!”

What is your quest?

To write the best novels ever produced in as many genres as possible. To keep my readers guessing what I’m going to do next. To keep ME guessing what my characters are going to do next. What was the question?

What is your favorite color?

Teal, but also salmon, purple, and any color that is between primary colors. I like colors that are mutable and changeable. Do I detect a theme here?

Genre: contemporary fantasy
Word count: 115, 091

The Fates are missing.

Hera has no choice but to lead a handful of gods to the human world to search for the missing goddesses, even though it means giving up her powers and temporarily becoming mortal.

But mortality begins to change Hera in unexpected ways, and it gets much worse after she meets Justin, a boy who defies every prejudice she once had about mortals. Torn between who she’s becoming and who she needs to be in order to fulfill her duty, Hera must survive a horde of murderous creatures sent to exploit her new weakness.

In the end, only she can stop a traitorous plot conceived by a secret alliance of ancient and new enemies, a plot that threatens to destroy not only the order Hera is sworn to protect, but all of existence itself.

This book is available from Amazon.
