Annette Lyon

Hobbies

Knitting, reading, camping, eating brownies my daughter made from scratch.

Most Exotic Place Visited

Masada

What Shampoo Do You Use?

Nothing fancy, but typically a few bucks fancier than what the kids use up so fast.

Your Dream Car

Nautical blue Prius with tan interior, moon roof and more, which I own and adore.

Favorite Sport

Watching basketball. Or watching my middle daughter dance. She claims it's not a sport, but she's am amazing athlete nonetheless.

Mountains or Beach? Why?

Mountains. I grew up in the Rockies. They're my home.

Pet Peeve

Silverware scraping against teeth. And people who refuse to take action to reach their potential.

Number of Published Books

13 novels, about that many novellas in anthologies, and 3 nonfiction books.

Book that Changed Your Life

The Poisonwood Bible. I'll never be the same.

Favorite Place to Write

Alone.

Do You Listen to Music While Writing? What Kind?

If I listen to music, it's movie soundtracks, nothing with distracting lyrics. But most often, it's white noise to help me focus.

Favorite Character You Created

Hard to pick, but maybe Abe from HOUSE ON THE HILL and AT THE JOURNEY'S END. He has layers I didn't expect, and readers tend to love him most as well.

Where Do You Live?

United States
