In this episode, Lynn H. Blackburn, bestselling romantic suspense author and certified “romance girly,” is here to bless us with her journey. In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, Lynn shares how her path from engineering to writing suspenseful love stories was filled with divine detours and unexpected inspiration (spoiler: it involves a spy dream and Scarecrow & Mrs. King!).

We dive into her new book Break My Fall, the swoony small-town romance between a charming police chief and a bubbly town dentist, and the deeper spiritual themes of healing, grace, and trusting God with our pasts. Lynn opens up about the power of strong heroines, why smart women belong in romance fiction, and how writing is a sacred act of obedience and ministry. This episode is a must-listen for Christian romance readers, aspiring authors, and anyone who believes in the beauty of stories co-written with God.

Listen to the episode here.

Meet Lynn H. Blackburn

Lynn H. Blackburn is the award-winning author of Never Fall Again, as well as the Dive Team Investigations and Defend and Protect series. She loves writing swoon-worthy Southern suspense because her childhood fantasy was to become a spy, but her grown-up reality is that she’s a huge chicken and would have been caught on her first mission. Lynn prefers to live vicariously through her characters by putting them into terrifying situations while she sits at home in her pajamas. She lives in Simpsonville, South Carolina, with her true love, Brian, and their three children.

    Lynn’s New Book: Break My Fall

    Dr. Meredith Quinn always planned to return to Gossamer Falls to practice dentistry. Now that she’s back home, she’s made it a point to offer clinics to children and adults in nearby underserved areas. Unfortunately, those same areas are known to harbor drug traffickers, and Police Chief Grayson Ward suspects that local law enforcement is looking the other way.

    After too many losses, Grayson has closed off his heart. But when Meredith enters his life, his walls crumble, and he’s left exposed and vulnerable. To keep her alive, he must keep her close, but that makes it impossible for him to retreat and rebuild. Will she be the one who finally helps him emerge from isolation? Or will this force of nature leave him shattered?
