I'm Lynn, a children's books author who lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, U.S.A., with my husband and children, and a couple of quirky cats. ( I also write as S. Lynn Helton. )

I enjoy the mountains, playing games, learning new things, and crafting. I'm also an avid reader and like to read most types of books, although fantasy, mystery, and science fiction are my current favorites. My choice of what to read often depends on what appeals to me at the time. I read more than I remember to record.
