Information
Mary Lynn has worn many hats—secretary, certified nursing assistant, and retail manager, among others—but none has meant as much to her as writer.

Residing in northern Illinois, Mary Lynn is married and enjoys spending time with her husband, three grown children and four grandchildren.
