Local author writes thriller after illness prompts writing career
Lim Layne, living in Baytown near Seattle, spent two years awaiting a transplant and then wrote a novel. He researched for two years, drafted in six months, and submitted to publishers with limited interest before Red Ginger Publishing in Kirkland picked it up. The book titled The Assassination of Rush Limbaugh is available on Amazon, with details and two full chapters at RedGingerPublishing.com. Layne plans a cross country book tour by car, visiting all 50 states, including Houston area stops, then starts two more works: a thriller and an inspirational romance.
