Lynne Anders lives in Arizona most of the year with her husband and friends. She began writing at an early age when she created a simple poem and read it before her school assembly. The writing bug possessed her from that one magic moment. However, the need to earn a living pulled her away from serious writing. After she retired, she decided it was time to return to her first love. Lynne enjoys writing about small-town America and believes friendships and lasting relationships weather the storm more easily when the pace and distractions of large cities are not part of the equation. www.LynneAnders.com
