I’m a very passionate person, but I’m also very careful and thoughtful about what I say when it comes down to it. It’s definitely been something I prayed a lot over. How did God lead you to discussing the topics you post about so passionately on social media? I love writing Christian stories that go beyond just entertainment and speak life and hope to the weary souls reading them.

It’s a kingdom adventure about a soldier who loses his memory, the farmer’s daughter who takes him in and the fallout thereof. Thanks so much for having me Kellyn! Once I Knew is a non-magical fantasy, subtle in the romance and heavy in the suspense. Welcome to Lilacs & Reveries, Victoria! Could you tell us a little bit about “Once I Knew” and the kind of stories you write in general? I’m so impressed by her work ethic and professionalism (I mean, look at me! *gestures to self* I have so much to learn!), and more than that, by her tremendous passion and heart for the Lord! She is an amazing, creative, godly woman who I am privileged to know. Victoria Lynn is without a doubt one of my favorite Christian author notwithstanding the fact that I’ve only read one of her books – and that was not her most recent one! (That’s on my TBR, but I had to put it off when I started a new job in June!) I met her in person at one of the Glory Writers retreats in February, but I’ve followed her on Instagram (and before that, known her from Goodreads and in private writing groups) for years! When he wakes and has no memory of his identity or past, she takes the only precaution that will keep her and her grandmother safe she destroys the evidence of his past life.Hi there! I’m running late on everything, and this is one of those things, but I really wanted to share this lovely interview despite the fact that I’ve got a book coming out this weekend (!!!) and also owe you several blog posts (*coughs*). When Violet stumbles upon an unconscious and injured Kingsman in the woods, despite the consequences, she is compelled to take care of the injured man. The despair and fear that has taken over their lives has ruled out any level of hope. Taxes are bleeding the people dry and without the money or goods to pay, they have been forced into penal servitude and imprisonment by the Kingsmen, who show no mercy. Unlike the kindly king before him, the new ruler is overbearing, frightening and tyrannical in his rule. With the new regent on the throne till the prince comes of age, the country has been thrown into a turmoil. She follows the rules, stays out of trouble and does her best to remain out of sight from the dreaded and overbearing Kingsmen.

Violet lives her quiet life in her sleepy village, trying to remain as dead to the politics that are threatening their world as possible.
