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.
Lynn H. Blackburn is the award-winning author of Never Fall Again, as well as the Dive Team Investigations and Defend and Protect series.

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.
“For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’” —Isaiah 41:13 (NKJV)
