About Lyn Cote
Lyn grew up loving books. Her favorite night of the week was Friday night, when the Bookmobile came to her neighborhood in Waukegan, Illinois. She'd spend those two hours chatting with the driver of the Bookmobile and the librarian and making the big decision of the week — which books to check out!
This love of books led to a desire to write. Lyn won prizes in high school and college for her poetry and, not surprisingly, Lyn became a history and English teacher. When she became a mother, she gave up teaching, and while raising a son and a daughter in Iowa, she began working on her first novel. Then she wrote her second and third. Long years of rejection followed — as it does for most writers. Finally in 1997, Lyn got "the call." Her first book, Never Alone, was chosen to appear in the first year of the new Love Inspired line. Lyn has had over twenty novels published since then. In 2006 Lyn's book, Chloe, was a finalist for the RITA, the highest award in the romance genre in the inspirational category.
Now, Lyn spends her days writing books that show the power of divine as well as human love. Her nest is empty and she and her real life hero, her husband, have more and more time to spend together in their home on a lake in the lovely Wisconsin northwoods. And books are still dear to her heart.

THE NICKY JAMES MOVEMENT on 5/15/09 - 11:55 PM
My dearly beloved Lyn:

Peace be unto you!

Given the current distress and perplexity which the world is experiencing, inspirationally caused by the forces that be through man and nature, it is important that certain mysteries are brought to light at this time, that the wearied soul may find comfort in understanding the time and season, and his designed course and ordained destiny, as the end of the journey and its glory are upon you: for every journey must have an end. Individual appointed times are gradually unfolding unto the full knowledge of God's grace, as the last fulfillment is at the door; grace to you: for Peace, the latter rain, whom you seek, and whom the world esteems not, is in your midst, incognito: for as it was at the first, so again it is at the last!

To he that has perception: Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open (expound) the book, and to loose (interpret) the seven seals thereof. Thus you were told to watch: for he comes as a thief. And understand the presence of a thief: for he never comes announced; but is in your midst, yet unawares to anyone but he that he makes his presence known to: incognito. Let he that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches (the body of faiths), even unto all men: it is the voice (doctrine: testimony) of the seventh angel (Peace: the last). The peace of the Father, which is accorded the Son, be with you; and the love of the Father, whom you are, ever to be reflected unto your brethren. Shalom! Salaam! Namaste!

Eternally with you!
Your friend,
Nicky

Lyn,
May God's awesome presence surround you, His love overwhelm you, His peace fill you to the full, and His mercy constantly fall upon you. May you find His grace sufficient for your every need. Happy Easter!

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia! -Charles Wesley
