Lyn Cote

I am Lyn Cote. My first book came out in 1998, Never Alone, #36 in the first year of the Love Inspired line of romances. I always wanted to be a writer and a teacher--and guess what I was a teacher and then a writer and a mom of a son and daughter.

I have always lived in the Midwest. I grew up in Illinois (right along the shore of Lake Michigan) and then I raised my children in eastern Iowa (just west of the Mississippi River) and now I live in the north woods in a cottage on a lake (just south of Lake Superior). (Notice-I like large bodies of water, but have avoided oceans.)

I am a happy person. I am grateful to God for all his blessings. And I try to share my joy with others.

I write both contemporary and historical romance, some with a bit of suspense. I like to write historicals with Quakers as characters because they “stirred” matters up with their support of abolition and women’s rights.

I write a blog, titled: “Strong Women, Brave Stories.” I invite authors and readers to submit stories about women they have known and admired. Sometimes these women are still with us and some have gone on. If you’d like to drop by and join in, its on my homepage http://www.BooksbyLynCote.com And that’s Lyn Cote!
