our visual senses with her articulate descriptions but carefully crafts just the right amount of emotional momentum . . .” ― Rev. Frances Lancaster |

the age of nine, on the Caribbean island of Grenada. Her life here was an immersion in a world framed with crystalline seas and malevolent looking jungles. On the island, she basked in the inhabitant’s simple joy of life despite the majority’s poverty. Many lived in one-room board shacks that lacked even running water. It was from the Grenadians that she learned a curiosity regarding the divine order of things born of naivety and a daily symbiosis with nature. Here, an overwhelming curiosity drove Lynn to spy upon the Grenadian’s and to witness secretive back- jungle voodoo practices. This underground current drove the dancing and superstition that imbued the local’s celebrations with a certain frenzy. It was on the island that she learned to face down six-foot iguanas, shake the poisonous centipedes from her clothes prior to dressing and to carefully breaststroke through shallow waters above fire coral infested reefs. It was while living in her family's one hundred year-old home, La Chapelle, a stone building with peaked ceilings and three-foot thick walls, that she learned of the structure’s specter: a priest and former resident who had died there in a tragic accident, decades prior -- a purported ghostly occupant numerous Grenadians claimed to have encountered. When Lynn and her family returned to the United States, Lynn was thirteen and had acquired enough credits to attend her first year of college. Grenada’s British schooling system had allowed Lynn to progress at her own speed, which to her meant an opportunity to get studies completed, fast. American school officials not knowing what do with a girl who looked little more than eleven, finally allowed Lynn to skip a grade to the ninth. Lynn and her teenage sisters attended Walter Williams High School in Burlington, North Carolina. Lynn went on to major in Writing and Editing at North Carolina State University. She focused on technical writing also taking classes in a wide range of subjects from computer programming to geology. Afterward, she married and had two wonderful daughters. Her career has involved the study and promotion of emerging technologies and the authoring of business publications from software demonstration and training manuals to case studies. An award-winning software and services sales management career has followed involving boardroom presentations to Fortune 500 executives across North America. Lynn is also the founder and manager of www.SoftwareSalesManager.com and www.SoftwareSalesTips.com Throughout her adult life, Lynn has enjoyed delving into early morning escapes into writing. * * * Lynn’s accumulated experiences resulted in The Great Awakening – an inspirational thriller series the press has likened to “The Da Vinci Code meets A Course in Miracles.” Excerpts can be viewed at: www.thegreatawakeningsaga.com |
Lynn was born in New York, the middle of four children, to a Mensa society engineer and a mother who sewed and dressed like a clothes designer, belying her farming roots. The experiences that dominated Lynn’s childhood memories were of changing landscapes and adventure. Overall the family relocated ten times, and Lynn attended fourteen different schools. |
