Welcome to The Wormhole and my day on the tour.

It is my pleasure to feature Avery Flynn and 

her book A Dry Creek Bed.

How do you want readers to react to the fictional world and its characters that you’ve created?

I hope they want to come visit Dry Creek, Nebraska, have a meal at The Harvest Bistro, eat cinnamon rolls at the bakery on Main Street and hang out with the Laytons. I wouldn’t mind hanging out with the Laytons. I think matriarch Glenda would be a real hoot after you got a glass of wine in her. Hell, what am I talking about. She’s funny totally sober. Then to get to sit in a room with all of the hot Layton brothers? Yep, that would be a good day.

Do you believe the ends justifies the means?

That’s a hard one because it really gets to the heart of the villain’s story for A Dry Creek Bed. The villain has been wronged - I don’t think anyone would disagree with that - and believes revenge is the only way to make things right. However, while in the pursuit of complete revenge, the villain loses sight of reality and the difference between right and wrong. For the villain the ends completely justifies the means - even if the end result is murder.

If you could sit next to any author during a cross-continental flight, who would it be and why?

That is easy - Dakota Cassidy. One, I don’t think she would be too scary to talk to. Two, we could chat endlessly about makeup. Three, her books are so funny, I can’t imagine she wouldn’t crack me up the entire trip while we drank wine and smack talked about the flight crew.

Tell us a little about A Dry Creek Bed.

Gladly! Dry Creek County Sheriff Hank Layton is the stuff of dreams. Nasty, steamy, delicious fantasies that leave Beth Martinez weak-kneed and desperately wanting the man she can never have.

Hank can’t stop thinking about Beth to the point where he’s afraid of becoming permanently bowlegged. And even though the sexual tension between them is thick enough to trip over, she runs every time he chases.

But when a mysterious developer forces her neighbors off their land, Beth becomes the one person standing between the scoundrel and millions of dollars. Only Hank can help her uncover the truth. Together they risk their lives exposing decades-old secrets and learn that everything is not as it seems in their rural Nebraska town.

About the Author:

Avery Flynn, the author of UP A DRY CREEK and A Dry Creek Bed, books one and two in the Dry Creek series set in Nebraska, grew up in a small town in the western part of that state, a far cry from her present day home just outside of Washington, D.C. It was no accident that she went back to her roots for the small town setting for her romantic suspense.

“When I graduated high school,” she says, “I couldn’t cross the state line fast enough. The older I got and the farther I moved away, the more I realized what a wonderful place Nebraska had been to live. I swore I’d set a novel there as a way to give people a look into the amazing folks that live in my home state.”

The name Avery Flynn is a pseudonym for the author who, at least for now, prefers to remain behind the scenes. She believes having Avery as her alter ego is a very good thing because, as she says, “Pen name Avery is way cooler than me. Her favorite color is hot pink. She drinks single malt scotch on the rocks. She loves the Argentinean tango and stays at Iceland’s Ice Hotel.”

Author Avery has been writing since she was a child and her father gave her a baby blue Brother typewriter. She couldn’t read but nonetheless wrote numerous stories about her stuffed animals in gibberish. She hasn’t stopped since, though she maintains that her spelling has gotten much better and she now prefers to write in English.

Today she’s enjoying her own happily ever after with her dashing husband, three crazy kids and two arthritic dogs. She dreams of one day having a floor-to-ceiling library à la Beauty and the Beast and is working to perfect the coffee IV drip.

A Dry Creek Bed

"I do believe I can arrest you for looking at someone like that. You've got to be breaking some indecency laws."

Taking a deep breath, she recovered her bearings. Mostly. "You're out of your jurisdiction, sheriff."
