Lyn D. Nielsen was born for this.  At age two, she loved big rocks and her dog; by eight, she wanted to be a writer; and as a teen, she discovered the desert…all part of a Master plan.

Her heart is in the sage, and while writing Place of Sage, she tripped over plenty of it…but only a few had rattlesnakes!  She lives in Washington State with her family and very fine dog; and is hard at work on her next book.

And yes, it's true, she can tell a great skunk story...well, great for all who hear it...not so great for her and Dion!

“I have known Lyn for a couple of years, and through those years, she has had her sites set on writing.  Each time she made progress, a roadblock would come up, but she kept a positive attitude, reminding me and those around her that it was in the Master plan….

Describing Lyn, I would say she is one of those ‘ivory girls,’ honest, natural, and easy to get to know.”
