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 a total immersion in a world framed with crystalline seas and malevolent appearing 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 depth of faith she’d never before imagined, a connection with one’s maker born of naiveté 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 in her family's hundred-year-old home, La Chapelle, a stone building with peaked ceilings and three-foot-thick walls, where she finally encountered the structure’s specter: a priest and former resident who had died there in a tragic accident, many decades ago. This experience forever cemented her knowing that life continues on after death. During the fourth year in Grenada, Lynn's father broke out in scaly brown patches: skin cancer. His resulting rapid loss of weight drove the family’s return to America ― for a short stay in Clearwater, Florida and then on to Burlington, North Carolina. When she 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 Lynn meant an opportunity to get studies behind her quickly as possible. 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 teenaged sisters attended Walter Williams High School. Lynn went on to major in Writing and Editing at North Carolina State University. Afterward, she married and had two beautiful daughters. Her career 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 sales management career followed and many presentations to Fortune 500 executives Throughout a work life, interspersed with rapid promotions then layoffs and downsizings often typical of today's technology companies, Lynn leveraged the fortitude and higher connection realized during her youth and learned to rely ever more upon her intuition or “voice from within.” Her morning escapes into writing and two decades of delving into the emerging intersections between science and spirituality resulted in articles which organizations such as “The Voice for Love,” and Shirley Cheng have published. * * * Lynn’s accumulated experiences resulted in The Great Awakening – a spiritual thriller series the press has likened to “The Da Vinci Code meets A Course in Miracles.” The official publish date for the first volume is March 29, 2010.

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 conflicting pain and adventure, of a father who continuously uprooted and moved his family from the exotic to the mundane. Overall the family relocated ten times, and Lynn attended fourteen different schools. |
