Romancing the Genres is 14 this year! As in many things in life, it feels like “Wow, where did the time go?” I am grateful for the legacy our blog founders have built for readers and bloggers. Thanks, Judith and Sarah!
I started as a reader, like many of you. A friend (Lizbeth Selvig) told me about it, and I enjoyed reading the posts. Then I was invited to join as a Genre-ista. Over the years, I’ve written blog posts on a variety of topics, often including my perspective as an Alaskan. I had the benefit of reading most of the other posts, too, learning from my colleagues and becoming virtual friends with many of them. A shoutout to you all—I have been enriched by your participation!
As our blog winds down and people move on, it’s time to let you know my next steps. I will definitely keep writing. While I don’t have any news at this point, I am querying literary agents; having an agent would allow me to be published by bigger publishers. In the meantime, this is what I can offer you right now:
I have a website with a blog where I post about once a week on topics like life and history in Alaska, book recommendations, and supporting libraries:

And I have a newsletter where I post quarterly. I provide updates on my author activities, Alaska history tidbits, book recs--and sometimes I give away bookmarks and other swag! You can see my first Substack post and sign up to receive the next one at:

As an avid reader, I post my book reviews on StoryGraph:

Or, if you’re into social media, I’m active on a couple platforms:
Pinterest (pins about reading and writing, history, Jane Austen, PBS shows, and inspiration for my book projects):

BlueSky (posts about Alaska, kidlit, libraries, writing, and politics):

Whether I see you often in the future or this is goodbye, I hope the next chapter of your life is wonderful. Thanks for reading Romancing the Genres over the years. Take care,
Lynn

Lynn, You have added so much to RTG over the years. We will miss you. I subscribed to your Substack blog. By the way, I'm reading The Downstairs Girl by Stacy Lee per your recommendation - an amazing book! Thank you.
Lynn, I always read your blog post as it is so interesting , especially when you add things about Alaska.
Good luck on finding an agent and with whatever life throws at you.
Aw, thanks, Sarah. I'm glad you're enjoying The Downstairs Girl--great book!
Thanks, Diana. Enjoy your writing, grandkids, and all!
Thanks, Marcia. I wish the same for you!
