“Every good book should take you to a brand new world... Enjoy the journey.”       ~Lynn Hardy

Lynn Hardy was born in Scottsdale, Arizona, the second of five children, followed six minutes later by an identical twin. Her first steps were taken in the rural countryside of Oklahoma. She attended kindergarten in the Midwest but returned to Arizona for grade school. Eight years in the desert city of Glendale, she longed for a change and dreamed of seeing new places. Lynn’s wish was granted. She changed high schools seven times.

Having fulfilled her wanderlust, she returned to Arizona her senior year so she could attend college in the land of rugged beauty that had forever remained “home” in her heart. During her second year of college, Lynn met her husband while attending Northern Arizona University. Lynn left school due to a severe case of walking phenomena. She remained out of school to support her fiancé through his senior year. Tony, her husband, has been an incredible wellspring of support for thirteen wonderful years of matrimony in the peaceful tranquility of Idaho, where she raises two beautiful girls.

The decision to place her work with Resilient Publishing, a small press publisher, was not taken lightly. Small press novels have a reputation as being substandard work. Lynn hopes to defy this labeling by investing in two important steps. She consulted with a cover designer from Tor to create a more market friendly design. Lynn also hired Andrea Howe, an editor who worked with one of the countries leading publishers, Wizards of the Coast.
