About this author

Lynne Cantwell grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan.

She worked as a broadcast journalist for many years; she has written for CNN, the late lamented Mutual/NBC Radio News, and a bunch of radio and TV news outlets you have probably never heard of, including a defunct wire service called Zapnews.

Lynne's vast overeducation includes a journalism degree from Indiana University, a masters degree in fiction writing from Johns Hopkins University, and a paralegal certificate. She is a contributing author at Indies Unlimited and writes a monthly column for the Indie Exchange.

She currently lives near Washington, DC.



First: today is Mother's Day in the United States. So happy Mother's Day to all the moms of whatever stripe.



Second: Yesterday I sent my very first e-mail newsletter. That's right -- I'm not a direct mail virgin any more! In it, I revealed the cover for Annealed, the fifth and final Pipe Woman Chronicles book. For those of you who aren't on the mailing list yet (and why aren't you?), here you g... read more »

Very helpful! Best in Show to start it is. :)

Lynne Cantwell Oh boy...tough choice indeed. They're all different. I'm going to say that it depends on what you like.

If you enjoy urban fantasy, then read Seized. The Czech half of the story in The Maidens' War has some strong epic fantasy elements. SwanSong is more along the lines of a Robin McKinley/Patricia McKillip fairy-tale retelling.

The others are short stories. "The Seed" is probably horror, "Best in Show" is psychological horror, and "Lulie" is -- oh, I dunno, just plain ol' fantasy, I guess. So if you just want a sample of my writing, one of those would be a good place to start.

Does that help? :)


message 3: by Cege

Cege Smith Ok Lynne- I know from experience that this is like being asked to pick a favorite among your own children, but which of your books would you recommend a reader start with? :)
