Welcome!
I am so glad you're here. I am a writer, currently working on a book about my narcissistic mother (Surviving Crazy), and a novel (Solo Sisters Mysteries) about some of the most wonderful women I know - based, of course, on the wonderful friends I have had and continue to have in my life. I hope you find something that interests you!
Meet the Solo Sisters!
Some women bake. Some women knit.
The Solo Sisters do that and more.
They solve mysteries.
After life’s often-harsh “learning experiences”, these smart, tenacious women found strength in each other—and in fixing wrongs.
With humor as sharp as their sleuthing skills and an occasional canine assist, they navigate small-town secrets, charming troublemakers, and
dodge a few near-death experiences.
All this while proving that
life after fifty is anything but dull.

I have stories in these Chicken Soup for the Soul books and more books are on my Amazon page....
Why is writing such a passion for me?
Hi there! I’m Lynn, and I’ve been writing since I was a kid. For me, reading and writing were lifelines that helped me keep my sanity and find my voice during a chaotic childhood. Even when no one was listening, I could pour my feelings onto the page and remind myself that I existed.
I like to joke that God, dogs, and books got me through it all, and those elements are present in my writing. My business name, Works by Design, reminds me that my life isn’t random.
I’ve always had a soft spot for mysteries because they deliver the justice that often feels missing in real life. Writing brings me so much joy, and I love sharing stories that entertain, inspire understanding, and offer hope. The amazing women I’ve known are the inspiration behind my Solo Sisters Mystery Series.
I also share my experiences through nonfiction, especially about my journey with a narcissistic mother, divorce, and other topics. I’m here to say that healing can happen, and you can thrive.
My writing is all about friendship, faith, and fun.
I’d love for you to join my newsletters!
