Cynthia Lynn

The bucolic pastures of North Central Florida's Pasco county, and Paris, France are home to me--but I've found that living in New York state is a good place, too--here I get invigorated by the change in seasons, and I have great view from the terrace of my apartment, these are the places where my fiction finds life... the turn toward fiction is where I'm heading, but that doesn't mean that I won't write travel guides about new and better ways of living in cities abroad well. I am also interested in issues that affect the boomers and those who have already retired--I'm turning in plenty of new directions and I'm as usual marching to my own drumbeat in this frenetic world we live in. I'm a member of the Authors Guild and they sponsor my website, cynthialynn.org, which is accessible via search engines, Yahoo and Google.

I was not only employed as a journalist for a number of years specializing in travel writing and special interest features, I've tried my hand at TV Production, and did travel updates that were distributed to NPR stations, and my company Leisure Market Productions was a member of the Florida Motion Picture and TV Academy. I've contributed to a number of travel related books and publications, my first book was a travel guide, NO MORE HOTELS IN PARIS, published in 1999, and is still so popular it is sold used at Amazon.com... the many excellent reviews included Library Journal, and the Philadelphia Inquirer.

My undergraduate degree is in English (summa cum laude) from Saint Leo, a Florida Catholic University, graduate in American Studies, University of South Florida. I attended Rhode Island School of Design, and I pursued a painting career for a number of years showing my work in New York and Paris - for a time I was an assistant art instructor at the Art Student's League of New York City, I am a Life Member of the League.
