 L. K. McReynolds is the author of the Jorden's Adventures book series — fast-moving mysteries starring 12-year-old Jorden and his fearless friends as they chase down clues, unravel secrets, and stumble into real bits of history along the way. These stories are crafted for young teens but written to hook readers of any age. 

After putting the pen down for years, L. K. picked it back up at 58, balancing writing with life as the full-time caretaker of her elderly parents — a role she embraces as their only child. When she’s not writing, she’s traveling with no set destination, always chasing something new to learn or explore. Her stories reflect that spirit: curious, heartfelt, and always on the move.

I’ve realized I need to tighten up my schedule and be more disciplined with my time. Writing consistently isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about habits, and I’m still working on mine.

Also, I’m reminding myself to stop overthinking everything. Worrying doesn’t get words on the page. Showing up and doing the...
