Lynn grew up along the Lake Michigan Shoreline and attended Muskegon Community College and Western Michigan University. She received her Master's Degree from WMU in 1986 in Educational Leadership. She lives in beautiful North Muskegon, Michigan with 2 children and her husband. She has spent the last 24 years teaching for Montague Area Public Schools and is currently teaching 6th grade Language Arts. While she loves to write herself, she finds that teaching writing can sometimes be overwhelming. One of her favorite memories of writing is from her 4th grade teacher who had a "Writing Center" in the back of the classroom and Lynn found herself gravitating towards it all the time. Her favorite books as a child were Nancy Drew and she managed to collect the entire set in one summer. She would also write notes to her teachers on her papers, and more likely than not, she found that they wrote her back. Journals and diaries were also a passion of her teenage and college years.
Lynn finds that writing about her childhood and teenage years encourages her students in her classroom. She often does not find enough time in her life to write on topics outside of her classroom. Some of her favorite adult authors include Carl Hiaasen, John Grisham, and Janet Evanovich. Her favorite children authors are Ingrid Law, Mildred Taylor, Jerry Spinelli, Brandon Mull, and Rick Riordan.
