    Lynn Daniels

    Lynn Daniels is retired, with hours and hours to write the next great novel. Worlds come alive in my head, characters stand over her shoulder, and sometimes they wake her up at night. All of them want to come alive, to have their stories written. No matter how she thinks the story should go, it goes according to how the character decides it should. An evil character finds redemption. A beloved character is massacred for no good reason. They all write their own stories.The ideas come to her, the character develops a personality, and the result is a book. She sincerely hopes that everyone will love her books, but she knows that what she writes isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. She simply wants to bring life and color into the world through the pages of her books. Every time someone buys a book, or leaves a review, she's delightfully surprised. She offers her eternal gratitude to all of you, for reading what she has written, and allowing her to become a small part of your life.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Lost Sunshine - Lynn Daniels

      The beginning is no fresh start

      After the confetti falls,

      And no more well-wishers call

      There is life

      There is reality

      Where misery moves in,

      And the allure of unnecessary consumption fades away

      When you're stuck with yourself,

      And you have to face those same demons of yesterday,

      And you know they will torture you tomorrow

      Lonely hours become listless days

      The sun no longer shines

      Sadness isn't a disorder when it becomes a state of mind

      Because nothing is gained from starting over,

      And nothing is accomplished from trying to be new

      Tomorrow is the day where despondency reigns

      Story of Six

      Chambers of solitude

      Dungeons of hell

      Prisons of insanity

      Jails of repetition

      Holding lives hostage

      Holding clarity against its will

      Rational thinking is
