Our States Have Crazy Shapes

Lynn was raised in Bloomington, MN. Always an avid reader, she began writing her own stories while still in elementary school and pictured herself as a professional writer from a very young age. After college she attended several screenwriting workshops and began writing screenplays in earnest.

Several years and seven screenplays later, Lynn put that ambition on the back burner to pursue other interests. When the urge to write hit again, she found that her passion had changed to children’s literature, and the “Dirkle Smat Adventure Books” were born.

Lynn's other interests include family (a husband and two grown sons), law enforcement (recently retired police reserve officer in Bloomington) and gardening. She volunteers in the public schools, at church, and dabbles in local politics.
