Unspoken Words Anthology LDS Beta Readers

Sometimes the most important words are unspoken.

This collection contains fourteen short-story romances featuring established and up-and-coming authors. There’s something for everyone to enjoy from historical to young adult, movie stars to bodyguards, work place romance to friendships deepening into more.

What happens when you find the courage to say what needs to be said?

I’m honored to have my short story, Buxton Peak: Silence from Nashville featured in the Unspoken Words anthology. Silence from Nashville is a spinoff from my Buxton Peak series and actually takes place during the time period in the middle of Buxton Peak Book Three: The End of the Beginning.

One of the supporting characters in the series, Ed Williams meets his girlfriend India on a blind date and they hit if off immediately. But now, a year later, he still has not confessed his love to her nor asked her to marry him.

As the story begins, Ed has just been asked by his best friend (and employer), Ian Taylor to move with him to Nashville. Ed is bodyguard for Ian and his rock band, Buxton Peak. If he doesn’t move with the band, he will lose his job. If he does move, he may lose his girlfriend.

Read Buxton Peak: Silence from Nashville in the new anthology, Unspoken Words, along with thirteen other authors’ short stories.

Also, join us Thursday, October 26, 2017 for our online Book Launch Party on Facebook. The fun starts at 5:00 Mountain Time (that’s 7:00 p.m. Eastern for those of us out here).

Buxton Peak Book: Two Center Stage

Center stage can’t last forever.

Even a rock band as talented as Buxton Peak can come crashing down.

Protecting his bride from cameras and scandals is the least of Ian’s worries. While he is blinded by love, his band is torn apart by distractions, temptations, and drug abuse.

Will Ian stand beside his mates, letting their problems become his problems? Can they pull together as a band? Or will the pressures of stardom rip them apart?

Interview with the Author: Lindzee Armstrong

Have you ever gone to an author’s Amazon page and seen that every one of their books has 4.5 Stars or better? And hundreds of reviews? Yeah, me neither.

But Lindzee Armstrong comes darn close! One of her books has only 4.0 Star average. One. Out of how many? At least sixteen that I counted!

After reading her latest novel, Kiss Me in the Rain, I had the opportunity to interview Lindzee and ask her a few questions about her writing.

Lindzee, how long have you been writing?

Literally as long as I can remember! I started writing as soon as I knew how.

Have you always wanted to be a writer?

Yes. It’s been my “what do you want to be when you grow up?” answer since about first grade.

Do you have/Have you had any other careers besides writing?

I worked at a bookstore for five years while going to college. Not really a career, but a fun job!

What is your favorite music to listen to while writing?

Top 40 hits.

Have you ever named a character in honor of someone you know?

Yes! I have an accountability partner, and we slip each other into every book.

At what moment did you feel like you could say, “NOW, I'm an author?”

When my first book was published.

Do you write/read every single day?

I work every single day…I try to make sure that includes writing, but business stuff often overshadows it. I try to read every single day, and usually do. I listen to audiobooks every single day.

Lindzee, thank you for sharing some tidbits about yourself, your stories, and your writing experience! -Julie L. Spencer

About Lindzee:

Lindzee Armstrong is the USA Today bestselling author of the No Match for Love series, Kiss Me in the Rain series, and Sunset Plains Romance series. In case it wasn’t obvious, she’s always had a soft spot for love stories. In third grade, she started secretly reading romance novels, hiding the covers so no one would know (because hello, embarrassing!) and dreaming of her own Prince Charming.

Lindzee finally met her true love while at college, where she graduated with a bachelor’s in history education. They are now happily married and raising twin boys in the Rocky Mountains.

Like any true romantic, Lindzee loves chick flicks, ice cream, and chocolate. She believes in sigh-worthy kisses and happily ever afters, and loves expressing that through her writing.
