Reporter Dayna Dalton’s reputation has been ruined since birth. The daughter of wild child, Becky Dalton, is expected to follow her mother’s footsteps; never given a chance to prove she’s different. Dayna’s been in love with Clay Finnes since she was a teenager. Her unrequited love for Sheriff Finnes leaves her empty.  He’s happily married and unavailable. Instead, Dayna finds herself stuck in the revolving door of bad relationships. But this is Bulwark, Georgia, a town where strange things are always happening.  Dayna is doomed to this loveless life until she can find someone who will appreciate the depth of her character. Can she overcome her fears and look beyond her own perceptions to accept a greater love?

Interview with Brit Lunden


As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
·        I would choose a kestrel. A kestrel is a fast-flying hawk that has the ability to zoom into small spaces. This way I would get a birds-eye view of what is going on in my storyline.

How many hours a day do you put into your writing?
·        Would you believe 25 hours a day? (If there really is such a thing). In other words, I am always writing or thinking about my characters. When you finish with the creative side the hard work of marketing and promoting begins. Days run into each other and realistically a book takes over your every waking minute. In all reality, I write in the evenings from 8 PM until my eyes drift shut.

Do you read your book reviews?
·        I love reading reviews. When I notice a new review it’s a bit like opening a present. I am filled with excitement. For the most part, the reviews have been helpful and encouraging. When I do receive a negative review, I find them useful to improving my skills. When an author reads reviews they learn just who their audience really is and helps with future books.

Do you leave hidden messages in your books that only a few people will find?  
·        Many of my fictional books have both messages and lessons in them that I hope more than just a few people will find. All my books whether they are written for a young audience under my other pen name, or an older audience, written under this pen name have subtle messages that readers can relate and in some cases make them feel good.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in The Devil and Dayna Dalton?
·        “The Devil and Dayna Dalton” was written as an apology to the character Dayna Dalton. People first met Dayna in “Bulwark”, the first book in the anthology, where she appears as a home-wrecking and insensitive character. I felt I did her wrong and decided to write this book giving her a backstory so that people could understand who the real person is. Very often people’s perceptions are based on shallow reasons and when we get to know the person as a whole we understand their motivation. Early reviews reflect that people have a new respect for my character, Dayna. I’m delighted with this outcome.

Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have planned for the future?
·        I would like to do the same thing for Trout Parker, the villain, in Bulwark, that I did for Dayna.

Do you allow yourself a certain number of hours to write or do you write as long as the words come?
·        I write as long as the words come.

Do you have a certain number of words or pages you write per day? 
·        I like to hit a 3,000-word milestone each day.

What inspires you to write? 
·        Stories bubble up and have always been there, but, when I read reviews of the books I’ve written it motivates me to continue to write.


Would you rather

Read fiction or non-fiction?
·        I read both. I love both, and I alternate one with the other.

Read series or stand-alone?
·        I prefer a stand-alone book.

Read Science fiction or horror? 
·        I never read horror. It makes me nervous, which is ironic because that’s what Bulwark and the series genre.

Read Stephen King or Dean Koontz 
·        If I’m going to read horror, it’s going to be Stephen King.

Read the book or watch the movie? 
·        Read the book.

Read an ebook or paperback?
·        Paperback.

Be trapped alone for one month in a library with no computer or a room with a computer and Wi-Fi only? 
·        Library, and I’ll swallow the key.

Do a cross-country book store tour or blog tour online?
·        No, blog tour online. I love being able to reach so many people who may not have an opportunity to get to a book store.
