New release Feature: Lynne Johnson, The Bait Trap
In this episode of Writes4Women, guest host Laura Boon facilitates a detailed conversation with debut crime author Lynne Johnson about her experience writing The Bait Trap.
Lynne writes crime with feeling, that deals with gritty social issues, like addiction. The Bait Trap draws on her own struggles with alcoholism. Lynne's characters are richly layered and her narrative delves deeply into issues around alcoholism and recovery. Lynne discusses her writing process, research methods, and the importance of resilience, determination, and diligence in getting published.
Before turning to writing full-time, Lynne was a copyright lawyer for over three decades. She now works with alcoholics and addicts in correctional facilities in Sydney and regional NSW, facilitating 12-Step meetings and taking men and women through the 12 Steps. Lynne lives in the Southern Highlands on Gundungurra and Tharawal Land, with her husband and many animals who lack boundaries.
