I’d like to welcome the fabulous Lynn Cahoon to the blog today for #ThisorThatThursday!

A few of your favorite things: Chocolate, lap blankets, and a pile of books

Things you need to throw out: Books I’ll never read (okay, not throw out but give away), items from my past that don’t hold any meaning now, papers that I think might turn into a story, someday.

Things you need for your writing sessions: a computer (desk or laptop), my one page outline, a cup of coffee. (I really don’t think you need a lot of ‘setting’ stuff to write. I’m a Nike girl. Just do it.)

Things that hamper your writing: Being tired, too many things on my mind, people talking, music I like to sing along to, or on the other end - too quiet of an area.

Hardest thing about being a writer: Some days writing. Some days not letting the haters get in my head. Writers tearing down other writers.

Easiest thing about being a writer: Telling the story that my characters want to be told. Supporting other authors in their journey.

Things you never want to run out of: Stories. Sugar. Flavored sparkling water.

Things you wish you’d never bought: anything with fake sugar or flavoring. Frozen meals. A certain book I won’t mention that I wanted so much to be amazing. LOL

Words that describe you: Kind, ambitious, inquisitive, loving

Words that describe you, but you wish they didn’t: Obsessive, timid,

Favorite foods: Homemade goodness. Fried fish. Mashed potatoes.

Things that make you want to gag: Beans, hot chilies, bad food makes me sad.

Favorite beverage: Flavored sparkling water

Something that gives you a sour face: Sweet Tea

Favorite smell: Jasmine.

Something that makes you hold your nose: Women with too much perfume. They give me migraines.

Last best thing you ate: Fried Green Tomatoes at Magnolias in Charleston SC.

Last thing you regret eating: Sugar. I need to kick the habit.

The last thing you ordered online: Vitamins and olive oil

The last thing you regret buying: Candy. I say I’m not going to eat it and yet.

Things to say to an author: I love your books. I loved the story. I wanted to be your character. I buy everything you write.

Things to say to an author if you want to be fictionally killed off in their next book: I found a typo on page 14. I didn’t get the character’s motivation. Can you make your book free?

Favorite places you’ve been: I have to say Haiti was beautiful. And the water was warm and salty.

Places you never want to go to again: I tend to find beauty in every place I visit, even for a short time. That being said, I don’t love being around a lot of people all the time. 

Favorite books (or genre): Time Travel, women’s fiction, mysteries, paranormals

Books you wouldn’t buy: War books, male centric thrillers, books without a happy ending

Three Tainted Teas, a Kitchen Witch mystery

Aspiring witch and culinary entrepreneur, Mia Malone, must dispel a deadly plot to wreck her clients’ wedding in this charming continuation of New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon’s Kitchen Witch Mystery series.

Business is bubbling at Mia’s catering service and cooking school, Mia’s Morsels, but toil and trouble are not far behind. Mia just accepted her toughest gig yet: last-minute wedding planner for Magic Springs’ own Romeo and Juliet. Though the small town is fairly accepting of magic, two families have been locked in a vicious feud spanning generations. Unfortunately for both families, they’re about to become in-laws! Amethyst and Tok are excited to wed in a few weeks and somehow Mia must ensure the event is flawless.

But when she goes to pick up paperwork from the couple’s previous wedding planner, Mia discovers the woman murdered in an apparent attempt to stop the contentious union. Now, not only is Mia a prime suspect, as the new planner she may also be the killer’s next target. Backed by her squad, her charms—literal and figurative—and a protective amulet from her Grans, it’s up to Mia to save the star-crossed couple’s wedding, her professional reputation…and maybe even her life!
