Just released! A quantum AI parallel world, penetrating the mysterious depths of the subconscious and its entanglement with fluid time.
A pained, flawed and vulnerable man forced to travel in time to confront the skeletons of his past, all while military and alien adversaries play cat-and-mouse for his loyalties, his mind, and his secrets.
But which side can he trust? Who can he trust?
As the mystery spirals ever deeper into the rabbit hole…is it psychotherapy? Or has he been training the whole time for a mission too vast, too insane, to wrap his mind around?
As the twists and turns get more jarring, the full measure of his mission becomes shockingly clear. But not on your life can a human man do that, can he?
Mythion is an engrossing, literary, thought-provoking and mind-bending experience that takes you on an immersive journey through fluid time loops, weaving in science fiction, genetic engineering, magical realism, metaphysics, and military operations unknown to the general public.

Alliteration Boosts Communication: The ABCs of Vocabulary teaches children interesting vocabulary words to improve their communication skills while entertaining them. What was the inspiration for writing this story?
My inspiration for writing this book was seeing and knowing that our students lack high level robust vocabulary. Studies show that children living in poverty only hear a total of 13 million words before the age of four. Compared to 45 million words compared to its counterpart. As an Educator this was unacceptable and I wanted to change this!
The art in this book is fantastic. What was the art collaboration process like with illustrator Wheeler Lentz?
The collaboration process with Wheeler Lentz was smooth. He was easy to work with. I gave him my vision and he illustrated it. We made changes where we needed them. He also gave suggestions when needed. Wheeler was a constant professional.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
The idea that learning can be fun. I wanted dynamic illustrations that went with each word that was shown on the page. I wanted students and educators to be able to create their own stories (Alliterations) with the illustration. This book has language standards, Science standards, and Math standards connected.
What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?
This book is a trilogy. The next one that will be released is Acronyms Bolsters Communities: The ABCs of Communities. The last book is Affirmations Build Characters: The ABCs of Positivity.
I do have a joint venture book entitled Hey, Black Boy! Coming out this Spring!

My goal is to boost our children’s vocabulary to improve their communication through words at an early age. Studies show that the earlier we boost a child’s vocabulary, the better they are with reading and comprehension. Vocabulary knowledge along with background knowledge provides our students with a better chance of understanding the text they read.

Rachel’s Reunion follows a woman working in her dream job who has her old love return and tries to rekindle things after breaking her heart. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
Rachel and Mitch worked in the Thousand Islands for several years. For two years, she served the Mr. and Mrs. Charles Emery in Calumet Castle on Calumet Island (you can read more about that in my novel, Peyton’s Promise, about her best friend). She was such a great character that I to continue her story, so I had her serve the most elite patrons at the famed New Frontenac Hotel on Round Island.
What is one pivotal moment in the story that you think best defines Rachel?
When Mitch gets hurt, Rachel finds forgiveness and, as a result, love.
There is so much to be said about love in this book. What do you hope your readers take away from your story?
All eleven of my Thousand Islands’ stories have hope as the central theme. Hope for a better future. Hope for love. Hope for healing. Rachel’s Reunion also focuses on healing broken hearts, and forgiving those who hurt you.
I hope the series continues in other books. If so, where will the story take readers?

Godly Riddims is an inspirational book sharing with readers the mysteries of God. What was the inspiration for the original and fascinating idea at the center of the book?
The inspiration for this book was my worship with God. As I would worship God, he would give me downloads as he would inspire me to write, and that’s why Godly Riddims was formulated.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
Some ideas that are important to me are revealing the mysteries and twists of God in his word by putting hits and bits of his word in the book, which will bring forth a greater revelation of God.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your book?
One thing I want readers to take away from my book is to establish a bond with God, as they seek him in Spirit and truth. However, seeking God is one of the most life-changing experiences because it will change your life and open you to a new world of experience.
Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out, and what can your fans expect in the next inspirational book?
Yes, this is the first book of the series. However, the next book is coming out shortly and the name of it is called Circles of God. This book is more exciting because the poems are even more powerful than the first.

Dianne Lindsay’s first book will enlighten people and give them a burst of joy and laughter about who God is and what he is about. Captivating and breathtaking, this book stands apart because it gives and sharpens understanding.
In Godly Riddims by Dianne Lindsay, we experience the great joy of laughter as we become encouraged by the words of God and the word that is utilized in the text. As the Bible states “iron sharpens iron” so this book sharpens the understanding of a person’s knowledge about God, as they’re encouraged by him.
