A Heart of Three

The Write Way Café welcomes Lynn Hammond. She shares what inspired her to write about conjoined twins.

Tell us a little about A Heart of Three.
Luna and Rose were born conjoined. Doctors kept telling the parents their children would not make it. One of the twins was weaker than the other and the kidney didn’t function correctly. These girls proved the doctors wrong fighting through life. They grew up being bullied and called names like freaks but that didn’t stop them. After they were older and lost their parents they decided they wanted to find someone to love. So, the girls decided to do a TV show but instead of going on national TV they decided to go with a mountain trip get away with four guys. Luna and Rose were so excited but scared also. How would the guys react? Would they call them names? These two girls showed these guys how great it would be to have them both.

If A Heart of Three was made into a movie, who would play your main characters, and why?
I would probably ask Abby and Brittany Hensel to play the parts. After I started writing my book, a friend of mine told me to read up on these two twins, that it might help me write my story. I was so astonished how these two could be perfect for the book just like Luna and Rose.

Who is your intended audience and why should they read your book?
Anyone 18 and older. We all want romance, love, compassion, suspense and humor. When I write I always put something that happened in my life in my books.

How did you become involved with the subject or theme of your book?
Well one night my editor told me she wanted me to do something different than my usual novellas. She said you are really good thinking outside the box so I did some thinking and I came up with conjoined twins trying to find their perfect mate. Working in the medical field I get to see a variety of medical concerns and it made me think that everyone needs their Happy ever After.

Who is your favorite character from your book and why?
Luna one of the twins. She held a lot in and when something tragic happened she recoiled from love. The frightened little girl came out. My heart would hurt when I would write about her but I love Rose too though. They both could feel what the other was feeling.

How about your least favorite character? What makes them less appealing to you?
Todd was a jerk and always complaining about something. He reminded me of one of my high school classmates.

Tell us a little bit about your cover art. Who designed it? Why did you go with that particular image/artwork?
HD Thomson does my covers. She owns Bella Media Management. She is always on top of my vision of my covers. She makes them come alive. Looking up photos for conjoined twins was very hard. I bought a stock photo and she conjoined them perfectly to how the twins are joined in my book. When I wrote the book, I didn’t know the photo she created would really be so perfect.

Give us an interesting fun fact or a few about your book.
Well the twins made a list of activities they wanted to do with the guys. One was trout fishing. When I was writing it I had to make some humor out of it. I like to make readers laugh.

If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Well that's really hard because I have a few authors who have helped me through my journey to write. Each one does a different genre too. I was a reader for so long and followed these authors everywhere and when I stepped up and told them I wanted to write they all jumped in to help: K.C. Lyn, Lexi Post, Kayce Lassiter, T.M. Cromer.

Do you have any unique talents or hobbies?
I sure do. I love to make Tutu's and wear them to my author conventions. I do several activities of making blankets, stuffed sock animals, homemade soaps, homemade candles, and wine bottle flower vases.

What can readers who enjoy your book do to help make it successful?
Leaving reviews really helps authors know how a reader likes the book even if they don’t. This is how we learn. Readers share our posts and other things with others.

What can we expect from you in the future?
Well my goal is to add more description into my novels. I like to be straight to the point and move on but I have seen more readers want to know a lot more about what’s going on in the book and more about the characters.

Luna

I was born conjoined to my sister, Rose. The doctors told our parents that we would never survive. Our bodies were joined from our shoulder to our hip. We only had one kidney, one breast, one arm, and one leg each. The thing that really wigged out the doctors was we had only one vagina but two uteruses.

Rose

Well, since my sister, Luna, thinks our lives will turn around, she has signed us up for a dating TV show. The thing is a three-day getaway to find our perfect mate. She thinks if we do this, our lives will be complete, but I, on the other hand, I think it’s a load of crap. What man would want a freak like us?

We have four men to choose from and lots of activities. Will we find a mate or end up alone forever together?
