Lyn Horner

Award-winning author Lyn Horner resides in Texas with her husband and beloved cats. Trained in the visual arts, Lyn worked as a fashion illustrator and art instructor for Art Instruction Schools (famous for their "Draw Me" heads.) After quitting work to raise her children, she took up writing as a hobby, soon discovering a love of historical research and the crafting of passionate romances based upon that research. The author says, "Writing a book is much like putting together a really big jigsaw puzzle. It requires endless patience and determination to see your ideas come to life. Once hooked on the process, you're forever addicted." A member of Romance Writers of America, Celtic Hearts Romance Writers, Hearts Through History RWA, and Yellow Rose RWA, Lyn is active on several blog sites, author forums and Facebook. Her debut novel, DARLIN' DRUID, won 2nd place in the Paranormal Romance Guild 2011 Reviewers Choice Awards. Late that same year, she published DASHING DRUID, the second volume in her Texas Druids trilogy. This book won 3rd place in its category of the 2012 Romance Through the Ages Contest. Lyn is now at work on DEAREST DRUID, volume three in the trilogy, scheduled for release in March, 2013. These epic western romances feature a trio of unique siblings. Descended from legendary Irish Druids, each one possesses a special psychic power. The author has also published a short prequel to the trilogy titled WHITE WITCH. This novella showcases one sibling's clairvoyant ability, a gift Lyn has experienced herself. In addition, the author offers a window onto her life in her memoir, SIX CATS IN MY KITCHEN. Six special cats are the stars, but the book also touches upon serious subjects such as grief, living with a disability, and coping with major life changes.
