Lynne and her husband, Roger, live in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina.  They have five children and twelve grandchildren, scattered across the US from Washington state to Florida.

She enjoys arts and crafts and has won awards in several categories.  Enjoying the life of an artist/crafter, she nurtures three generations of creativity, encouraging the natural talents of her children and grandchildren.

As a young adult, she collected interviews with some of her oldest family members, which not only helped with classes in college, but gave her hope of one day writing about them.

Lynne rekindled her interest in reading and writing when she retired as owner of a quilt shop.  She began to pull out of storage, old notebooks and journals filled with previous writings, and even cassette tapes of interviews she had with family members who had now passed away.

Realizing that she had an absolute treasure to start with, she began writing fictionally enhanced stories of her true-life relatives.   She transports herself deep into how they must have felt, what they were thinking, and how one decision could have changed the course of their lives.

Faith in God is at the forefront of her stories as she strives to show how God is with us through everything, He just wants us to trust and obey.

Her stories are full of romance and action mixed with humor and sass, encouraging her readers to identify with the characters while evoking emotion.

Lynne enjoys canning and preserving fresh veggies that Roger grows in his amazing garden.  She also has a passion for cooking, singing, reading and volunteer work at her church.
