Lynnette Kent has wanted to write books for about as long
as she's been reading them. The question of exactly what
kind of book to write was answered when her husband
suggested she write what she loved to read...romance. With
his encouragement, she opened her head—and
heart—to the characters in her stories and found a
whole new world of friends she loves to share with readers.
Her approach to a writing career has been indirect. An
undergraduate biology degree led to a job as a research
assistant for three years, then two years teaching school
— physics, physical science, and anatomy. Finally
returning to her first love, Lynnette received a Master's
degree in European History from the College of William and
Mary. Her research training comes in handy when she starts
a new book.
After twenty years of Navy travels, Lynnette and her
family—a husband and two daughters—have settled
in south eastern North Carolina. The true rulers of the
household, are Dooley and Schultz, miniature dachshunds
who needed a home when their original "parents" got a
divorce. Their bark is about ten times the size you'd
expect of such tiny dogs.
When she's not writing or driving the girls around,
Lynnette plays bassoon with the local symphony, gives
bassoon lessons, directs a children's choir, and leads a
Girl Scout troop. The new millennium will bring the
additional challenge of helping a daughter choose a
college, and then letting her go. (Thank goodness there
will still be one at home!)
Lynnette would rather mow the lawn than clean
house—she's building a flower garden with an emphasis
on irises, her favorite flower. In addition to romance,
she reads mysteries, fantasy, and historical fiction, and
would love to try her hand at writing each.
For now, she's delighted to be writing for Superromance,
creating stories of love and laughter, tragedy and
triumph, all wrapped up in a satisfying happy ending. In
fact, the happy ending is the best part - life doesn't
always work out the way we wish, but in these books, we
get a chance to live as if it will.
