Lynn realized the need to transition into a new career path due to his energy and mobility challenges.

His son suggested he consider writing as a career; having enjoyed his father’s short stories. Lynn agreed to the challenge and his first novel, Rising Tide, in the series of the same name was released for publication in 2009. The second, Eden’s Wake, and the third, Deadly Reign soon followed. Terminal Core, a standalone was released  in 2016. Dalon Con (The Essence of Time) is in the editing process, and a fourth book for the Rising Tide series is nearing completion.

Lynn’s ideas are often driven by daily events, things he sees in nature or any path his imagination decides to lead him down. He loves to write and enjoys the challenges of bringing a novel from conception, working with his publisher through the editing process, rewrites, and reading the book many times before it goes to print.
