So, writing isn't done just for the benefit of readers, but for us authors as well!

Her internationally-bestselling novels have been included in the New York Times List of Notable Books, the London Times' bestseller lists, the WH Smith Fresh Talent Awards, and the Shamus award.

However, my guest today is filling in for him. She is the author of numerous thrillers, including the Sonora Blair and Lena Padget detective series. Along with writing bestselling and award-winning books, she teaches novel writing in the UCLA Extension Writing Program, and is a manuscript consultant and writing coach for novelists. Very, very good. It's my great pleasure to have here today, Lynn Hightower. Hi, Lynn. Thanks for coming on. Lynn (01:33): Oh, thanks for having me, and thank you for a lovely introduction. I appreciate it. Debbi (01:38): Oh, well, it's my pleasure. Believe me. I was fascinated by the description of your latest novel, The Enlightenment Project. Lynn (01:47): Yeah. Debbi (01:48): In fact, I bought a copy. I just went ahead and just bought a copy. It just seemed really interesting. Lynn (01:56): I appreciate that very much. Debbi (01:59): Sure thing. Tell us what the book is about. Lynn (02:04): Have you ever known anybody who was possessed? Debbi (02:08): Actually, no, , not that I know of. Lynn (02:10): Well, when you meet my hero Noah Archer, you will, He was possessed at the age of 11. He is now a neurosurgeon, very much a science guy, did not believe in supernatural things until he had no choice, and it haunted him and it inspired his career. He started a research project called The Enlightenment Project. Now, I researched a lot of neurologists and neurosurgeons, and the one thing they advise their patients to do is to meditate. And no one knows that patients have the same issues I do with being told to meditate because the minute you tell me think of nothing, Oh, please, that's not happening. And I really think the way people are told to meditate is ridiculous. I think it sets you up to wrestle with your brain. Alright? And so Noah decides that he is going to just put a hair net of electrodes, actually ceramic [sic] ones over your head, and we'll just do a very gentle electrical stimulation of all the spiritual parts of the brain, which is, surprised me to find that spiritual neurons are all over the brain.

Bestselling author and Bluegrass native Lynn Hightower provides a home for the unknown, unexplained, and unnatural throughout the pages of her work. Lynn's latest novel, The Enlightenment Project, set in Lexington, Kentucky, focuses on neurosurgeon Noah Archer, a victim of demonic possession in his youth now being drug back into the realm of angels and demons through his latest research project, promising breakthrough treatments for depression, addiction, and mental illness, through researching the effects of spirituality on the brain. In this time when the veil is at its thinnest, Lynn joins us again under the full moon to discuss the crossover of science and the otherworldly, the entity that is storytelling, and just what demons and angels may truly be and how the effect us in the corporeal realms. The smell of sulfur abounds, the light dims, and an unseen presence is felt all around us. Join us on our journey into the darkness Nightowls, as Lynn Hightower returns to go in conversation with Midnight in Kentucky!

Welcome to Ep 174, my guest for this episode is the writer and writing coach Lynn Hightower. Lynn writers thriller with a darkly paranormal twist. In this conversation, we discuss why we do need to tell as well as show, especially in terms of plot, why we need to hear the character’s voice in our head rather than try to pick and mix their traits and characteristics. We also talk about why clarity in your prose is so important, what do you do to keep the reader hooked, and why every writer needs to try to limit the number of desks they own! I had a wide-ranging conversation with Lynn, full of humour, insight, and craft advice – I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (03-27-2022) #772: Featuring Lynn Hightower, Jessica Rubin, and Julie Forbes. Lynn Hightower talks about her supernatural thriller The Enlightenment Project, which is about satanic possession and includes the Golden Retriever, Tash, referred to as a Very Good Dog; Jessica Rubin, a clinical professor of law who teaches animal welfare at the University of Connecticut, discusses "Desmond's Law," which allows courts to appoint legal advocates in animal cruelty cases; dog trainer Julie Forbes discusses what is meant by "positive association" in her video series "Puppyhood with Julie Forbes" and how to make and improve a dog's positive experience of a place or thing.

Lynn Hightower is not only a prolific writer and New York TImes Bestseller, but a bluegrass native who spins prose on both her weird Kentucky home and its strange otherworldly inhabitants like no other. From intense spiritual and paranormal thrillers like Even in Darkness and The Piper, to her extra-terrestrial tinged Elaki series, including titles Alien Eyes and Alien Rites, Lynn has always delved into worlds of high strangeness and conspiracy in her works. Her latest however, brings the cosmic war of good and evil right back home to Lexington, Kentucky. Tonight on MIK, we sit down with Hightower to discuss The Enlightenment Project, a story detailing the trials and tribulations of Lexington neurosurgeon and possession survivor, Noah Archer, as he battles his way, alongside his best friend and priest Perry Cavanaugh, and his wife Moira, to save the souls of those he himself may have damned to the clutches of dark and demonic forces, who once laid claim to Noah's own. In this episode we touch on everything from the real life exorcisms that served as Hightower's inspiration and so called 'angel' possessions, to Lynn's own writing process, which involves what some more parnormally inclined folks may refer to as channeling, and why she believes a work of writing is an entity all its own. So grab the holy water, summon your angels, and prepare yourself spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, for Midnight in Kentucky in conversation with Lynn Hightower!Audio support for this episode was provided by TruckStop Dave from the upcoming Angry Small Town album.

I've always been fascinated by tales of demonic possession. I fully realize that is an odd thing to admit, but it's true. I've seen The Exorcist more times than I can count and include similar movies such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Rite, and anything from the Conjuring series as classics. Maybe it's my Catholic upbringing, but if we believe that goodness exists and came to Earth in the form of a God, then the opposite must be true, right? If God and the Angels can do it, why not the devil and his demons? When I was given the opportunity to interview Lynn Hightower about her latest book, The Enlightenment Project, in which an exorcism features prominently, I simply couldn't pass it up.   MEET LYNN HIGHTOWER Lynn Hightower the author of numerous thrillers, including the Sonora Blair and Lena Padget detective series. Her internationally-bestselling novels have been included in the New York Times List of Notable Books, the London Times bestseller lists, the WH Smith Fresh Talent Awards, and the Shamus award. Lynn teaches Master Novel classes in the UCLA Extension Writing Program and works as a Manuscript Consultant/Writing Coach for novelists. Her latest book, The Enlightenment Project, is available now wherever books are sold. KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE: How her love of writing in grammar school got her into trouble in History, Math and geography class. Her fascination with haunted places and how she lived in one while writing a book. The interesting premise behind her latest book, The Enlightenment Project. Why cases of Exorcism are on the rise in Italy. How her creativity and investigative research fuel her successful career. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MY TALK WITH LYNN Put yourself in the reader's seat. Tell a story you want to read, but that hasn't been written yet. Give yourself permission. Allow yourself to follow your dream, if your dream is writing a book. Boundaries matters. The business side of the publishing world is juxtaposition to the creativity that fuels writing. Create a boundary between the two to keep your sanity! Follow your instinct. As an author, the best decisions are sometimes made through gut instinct. Love wins. The only thing that matters in life is who you love, so love well.  WHERE TO BUY THE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT: Amazon  Bookshop.org HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH LYNN HIGHTOWER Website: https://www.lynnhightower.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnhightowerauthor/ Twitter:      https://mobile.twitter.com/lynnshightower MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM LYNN “I have a lot of advice for aspiring authors. Tell the story you wish someone would tell you, the kind of story you would just love to curl up with and read. Readers will forgive you anything if you deliver on once upon a time. I really believe that. Second, give yourself permission to be a novelist. This is the work of your heart. It's what you really want to do, and it's not for the cool kids or for the special people. If you have a story to tell, go ahead and tell it and get it down as best you can. After that, it's a brutal business. Not every novel that should be published is published. So, the only way to keep yourself sane, is to do everything you can, but just accept that your story is going to find its place in the universe, and send it out there and hope that it finds its way into the hands of somebody who would like to read it. That's how I survive.” If you liked this conversation, please tell a friend about it as well as like, rate, and review Uncorking a Story wherever you get your podcasts.
