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.

Lyn grew up in Waukegan, IL, raised her children in Cedar Rapids, IA, and now lives in northern WI.

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.
