My latest book has just been released. It’s my second book this year. and I’ve already started my next one!

One Night in Havana: Susana, The Cuban Girl Who Watched

by Lyn Funnell (Author) Format: Paperback
Sixteen-year-old Susana lives with her close-knit family in Havana, where life is hard but filled with warmth, music and community. With childhood friend Maikel seemingly destined to become something more, her future appears simple and certain.
Thousands of miles away in England, journalist Don Collins is trapped in an unhappy marriage and blissfully unaware of how others see him. When an unexpected assignment takes him to Cuba, his path crosses Susana’s during a glittering international celebration.
One terrible night changes everything.
As two very different families face the consequences, lives unravel, relationships change and unexpected new beginnings emerge.
One Night in Havana is a powerful story of innocence, trauma, family and resilience, exploring how the darkest moments can shape generations, and how hope can emerge in surprising ways.
This is my other book from earlier this year.
I have a publisher,

I am strongly opposed to Self-publishing.

They charge ridiculous high prices for 2nd rate books with mistakes in them.

This floods the market with terrible books that never sell. And it blocks the good books and prevents them from being seen.

My advice? Keep editing your book and keep sending it away to reputable publishers until you get accepted!

It may take a while, but at least you’ll know that you’re in safe, professional hands!
