Michelle Lynn

Biography

Michelle Lynn has published three books and lives in Venice Florida. At 25 years old, her life has already taken her many places. She grew up near Chicago and then lived in Hilliard Ohio where she became an avid follower of the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey team. Eventually, she chased a degree at Muskingum University in New Concord Ohio. There, she achieved bacehlors degrees in Business, Economics, and Accounting.

I know...weird for an author right?

After college, Michelle spent the next year working and scuba diving in St. Croix of the US Virgin Islands before finally settling in Florida. She spends her days writing and is very involved in her church.

You may be wondering how all of this led to writing. Certainly it wasn't the business degree and it seems too tame for the scuba diver in her. The truth is, Michelle has dealt with an unknown illness her entire life. There has been a revolving door of doctors and lab tests. When she was younger, she was able to function normally except for debilitating episodes every so often. Over the past few years, Michelle has only gotten worse and has a hard time walking on her own. She cannot work outside of the home. Writing became an escape. She could dive into another world and not have to deal with her own world for a couple of hours. You could almost say that it saved her sanity!

Smashwords Interview

How do you discover the ebooks you read?
I read books that have been recommended to me with an edge going to books by self-published authors. I like to support the small time writers that are doing it all themselves over the big name, traditionally published authors. It's an exciting time because self-published no longer means the book lacks quality. I do have a few guilty pleasure books from the big names though.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
About 2 and a half years ago I was very sick for 6 months straight. I could barely leave my bed. I was bored out of my mind and could feel the depression creeping in. I started to write to pass the time. I fell in love with it but I thought my work was really really bad. I sent it to a friend who begged me to read it. She loved it and that gave me the confidence to show it to the person who would end up being my editor.

I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would publish a book, let alone more than one. It is a perfect example of something good coming out of the worst time of my life. I had never had anything that I was truly passionate about or was even the slightest bit good at. Suddenly, I couldn't envision doing anything else with my life.
