Lynn A. Coleman is an award winning and best-selling
author of Key West and other books. She began her writing and speaking
career by teaching home-schoolers how to utilize the Internet. Since
October 1998, when her first fiction novel sold, she's sold 19 books
and novellas. Two of these are set for release in 2005.
Mrs. Coleman is also co-founder of American Christian Romance Writers,
Inc. (ACRW), now known as American Christian Fiction Writers Inc., and
served as the group's president for two years, then two years on the
Advisory Board. One of her primary reasons for starting ACRW was to
help writers develop their writing skills and to encourage others to
go deeper in their relationship with God. "God has given me a gift,"
says Lynn, "but it is my responsibility to develop that gift."
Lynn is frequently called upon to teach at writers groups, women's groups,
home-schooling organizations, church groups, conferences, workshops
and retreats. "Lynn is informative, humorous, and approachable--what
more can you ask for?" said one attendee. She makes her home in
Keystone Heights, Florida, where her husband of 31 years serves as pastor
of Friendship Bible Church. Together they are blessed with three children
and eight grandchildren.
