"Hi Tors
I was at the Festival to, perhaps we 'brushed shoulders', there were so many new faces as well as familiar ones, it was a job to keep up.
The way I interpret 'write what you know' is to write about…"

- About me
- I lived in Wales for most of my life, and the beautiful countryside and legends inspired me to write. Although I now live in a small village in England, with my husband, I am very proud of my Welsh heritage. I have always been called by my second Christian name, Lyn, and love all animals, especially horses.
I write mainly futuristic or fantasy romance and also love historical westerns.
I have two novels 'Starquest ' and 'Children Of The Mist' as print and Ebooks with The Wild Rose Press and have just released 'Dancing With Fate' from my backlist on Smashwords.
I am a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association

Tribute to a dear friend

Many prayers had been said for her recovery, but it seems God in his wisdom decided her poor body had had enough, and Heaven needed a new angel.
I loved Sharon as a sister, even though we had never met in person. We first started corresponding when I dropped her a line after reading an interview about her where she talked about how she had turned to writing when she could no longer write after losing her sight. I was so impressed by her strength and determination in the face of her lifelong fight with diabetes and the fact that losing her sight did not deter her froim sharing her wonderful imagination with the world. As she said, now she 'painted with words instead of paint.' Her touching Inspirational stories for the 'White Rose' line of the Wild Rose Press were…
