Listen to mp3s of Lynette's Music to Touch Your Soul and Make You Think

"I would stand on top of a mountain naked if more people would hear about your music. I now listen to it each morning to motivate me ..."

- Kathy Lynch

"If you know someone with an itch to ditch it all and immerse themselves in another world, get them this riveting account. It requires courage and imagination for Lucy to have done what she did, but the main thrust of this story is that if Lucy can do it, so can you. And who can’t use THAT kind of inspiration."

- Ellen Snortland, author of "Beauty Bites Beast" and playwright of "Now That She’s Gone"

". . . been enjoying your book some more today. i love how real it is. unpretentious. wholesome."

- Tantra Bensko

"What a great story and a wonderful character. I love the energy of the writing and how you are able to capture a certain movement between the real and spiritual. You are a gifted writer with a fresh vision. "

-Matthew Lippman, author of the award-winning "New Year of Yellow" and "Monkey Bars"

"...First Rate"

- Margaret Kiever, Secretary of Sepulveda Unitarian Universalists Society

"I just finished 'Lucy' and am impressed. It is so easy to read that quite a few pages go by before I notice I've been reading awhile. The greatest strength of the book is its forthright, straightforward language and purpose. The stories are clearly told, and are rounded and interesting. I enjoyed it all, and certainly hope a paper edition goes strongly. I hope our personal endings work as well as you propose for Lucy."

- Lewis Ellingham, author of "Poet be like God: Jack Spicer and the San Francisco renaissance", and "The Birds and other poems"

"But damn, Lynette, your writing trips beautifully, like wandering through a bird song filled garden."

- Paul Barne

"Very very inspiring"

-Howie Leifer, NYC

"It is a great read! Lynette has a unique writing style that is so sincere it captivates your heart, and educates at once! I loved reading her book."

- Carolina Mendez Alkahmri, Oakland, California

"You had the chutzpah to do the things I dreamed of doing but never felt brave enough to do!"

- Carol Hart-Martin, California

Secrets of Luck

This novel ( . . . so much of it is "true" it is barely a novel . . . ) is like entering a good and trusting heart, a heart that believes that following ones inner intuition leads to the ultimate unfolding of life's essence." - Richard Weekley, author of "Already There"

"If you know someone with an itch to ditch it all and immerse themselves in another world, get them this riveting account. It requires courage and imagination for Lucy to have done what she did, but the main thrust of this story is that if Lucy can do it, so can you. And who can’t use THAT kind of inspiration." - Ellen Snortland, author of "Beauty Bites Beast" and playwright of "Now That She's Gone"

"The blurb on the back cover of 'Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace, a novel' is true - 'In many respects, you are an inspiration to me!  You walk the talk, and live in accordance with your beliefs."

Anyone who has ever dreamed of learning a foreign language (or two) and moving to a remote country seeking a simpler, more authentic life, should read “Lucy Plays Pan Pipes For Peace.” This novel, based on Lynette Yetter’s experiences, opens doors to places and people I never would have known otherwise and I feel richer and more whole for the experience.

In a poetic and musical way, our guide sweeps us along with Lucy on her quest to Peru and Bolivia to find or create the peaceful world that she senses in the sound of the panpipes. I laughed and cried and felt inspired as if I, too, were playing the panpipes with indigenous men in traditional festivals or chewing the sacred coca leaf with a Quechua family in a humble adobe house or offering up my own life in protest of U.S.-supported human rights abuses.

Spiritual poetry (that amazes me with its creativity), weaves seamlessly with fascinating cultural details (that only an insider could know) and with commentary on globalization as seen from the “globalized” citizens perspective in a way that is natural, thought-provoking and inspiring.

Once I started reading I didn't want to stop. Also, I enjoyed the illustrations - they add a whole new level to the experience of questing together with Lucy towards this mystical world of which the panpipes sing.

- Ellen Snortland, author of “Beauty Bites Beast” and playwright of “Now That She’s Gone”

Lynette -
My husband now thinks that you'r a musical genius. I tell everyone I meet about your video and book. I gave the information to a depressed California schoolteacher as a way to boost her spirits. I sang the chorus all day (of the song Nam Myoho Renge Kyo). Having contact with you has lifted my spirits in the cold, lonely Sado Island-like place where I work weird hours and have no social life because of work that needs to be done on the house. Thank you for being there. - Kathy

Oh dear Kathy, your words lift MY spirits! :) We truly need each other. Thank you, my friend. :) - Lynette

Lynette -
Ahorra mi esposo piensa que tu eres un genio musical. Yo paso la voz a todo el mundo sobre tu video y libro. Yo di la informaciòn a una profesora de California que fue deprimida para animarle. Yo cantè el coro todo el dìa (de la canciòn Nam Myoho Renge Kyo). Estar en contacto contigo ha leventado mi animo, en el lugar donde yo trabajo que parece muy frio y solo como la Isla del Sado. Trabajo turnos muy estraños y no tengo una vida social por que del trabajo que tenemos que hacer en la casa. Gracias por estar presente.
- Kathy

O querida Kathy, tus palabras levanta a MI ánimo! Es verdad que necesitamos una y otra. Muchísimas gracias, amiga mia. :) - Lynette
