Lynn A. Coleman is an award-winning and bestselling author of Key West and other books. She began her writing and speaking career with how to utilize the internet. Since October 1998, when her first fiction novel sold, she has sold forty-five books and novellas. Lynn is also the founder of American Christian Fiction Writers Inc. and served as the group’s first president for two years as well as spending two years on the advisory board. One of her primary reasons for starting ACFW was to help writers develop their writing skills and encourage others to go deeper in their relationship with God. “God has given me a gift, but it is my responsibility to develop that gift,” she says. Some of her other interests are photography, camping, cooking, and boating. Having grown up on Martha’s Vineyard, she finds water to be very exciting and soothing. She can sit and watch the waves for hours. If time permitted, she would like to travel. She makes her home in Keystone Heights, Florida, where her husband of forty-six years serves as pastor of Friendship Bible Church. Together they are blessed with three children, two living and one in glory, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
