(Note: Smashwords carries Lynda’s books in e-book format)
Lynda’s first full-length collection of poetry features fifty-four poems. DLD Books, 2019.
Topics and subjects cover an expansive terrain from lights to legends to seasons, images, and metaphors. The entire book shimmers and reflects light like a multi-faceted mural.
In the book’s opening poem, “Star Signs,”
Lynda sets the ambiance for the entire book.
California actors Lillian Yves and Vincent Lee Grayson capture the dramatic and lively music of the poems. Readers have commented that this book is like sitting in an audience watching a stage performance. That is music to Lynda’s ears!

July 4, 2022Hi Robbie and all.
The National Library Services for the Blind and Print Disabled offers a large variety of audio, large print and braille books and magazines as well as musical scores for those with visual or other print disabilities.
These books are free for borrowing and now for download via the BARD app on smart devices so this is a wonderful thing which Lynda and other authors do when their books are submitted to and accepted into the program.
Not only does Lynda’s announcement enable those who qualify to find and read her work it raises awareness to other authors, especially independently published ones and it is our hope they will reach out to see if it might be possible for their books to be made available as well.
Though there are thousands upon thousands of visually and print disabled persons who buy books, there are many more who are unable to do so for various reasons and this program opens the world to them as no other ever has.

July 5, 2022Hi, Robbie.
It is something I’m hopeful to raise more awareness on in the future. One of the biggest things needed in our NLS program is children’s books and a larger variety of indie author’s books in general.
Authors published by what I call the big traditional boys usually make it iinto our reading choices but there are so many more who are never known of because they don’t know of us.

July 5, 2022Thank you for sharing this information, Patty. I appreciate the announcement, I was delighted with the narrators – Lillian Yves & Vincent Lee Grayson – who bring my work to the theater stage in this recording. Thankful to Perking, and Nancy, for bringing the book to BARD and NLS. They are at work presently on my last book – so more is on the way, Folks.
