Lynette M. Burrows is a survivor. She survived moving to seventeen different schools before she graduated from high school. She contends that this makes her uniquely qualified to write a dystopian novel or two.

Lynette enjoys coffee, the pleasure of real books, and the crack of a nine-millimeter, not necessarily all at the same time-although they all appear in her stories. Spiced with a dash of intrigue, a dollop of mayhem, and a liberal dose of automatic weapons her stories aim to entertain.

The White Box stories, her collaborations with Rob Chilson, appeared in Analog Science Fiction Science Fact magazine. She's also had stories published in regional and national children's magazines.

Her five star debut novel, My Soul to Keep, takes place in America but it's not the nation you know. Readers have said it has the social significance of The Handmaid's Tale and the suspense and plot will keep you turning pages.

She blogs regularly about inspiration, books, story research, writing, and other subjects of interest. She loves to talk to people about books, about writing, or about that one odd thing no one knows about your occupation. Talk to Lynette on her website, Facebook, or one of her author pages.

Lynette, her artist husband and their pack of Yorkies live in Oz, otherwise known as Kansas.
