BIOGRAPHY
Mix knowledge of voodoo, Louisiana
politics and forensic social work,
with the dedication to write fiction
while working each day in an acute
psychiatric unit for women, and you
get a snapshot of talented author Lynn
Emery. Lynn has been a contributing
consultant to the magazine Today’s
Black Woman for three articles
about contemporary relationships
between black men and women.
Lynn sold her first novel in 1995
to Kensington publishing for their
groundbreaking Arabesque line.
NIGHT MAGIC went on to be
recognized for Excellence in Romance
Fiction for 1995 by Romantic Times
Magazine. Her third novel,
AFTER ALL, became a movie produced
by BET and aired on December 3, 1999.
Holly Robinson Peete was the female
lead as Michelle Toussaint, an
investigative television reporter. In
2004 Lynn won three coveted Emma
Awards. She was chosen Author of the
Year and her novel KISS LONELY
GOODBYE won Best Novel and
Favorite Hero.
A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
Lynn writes after work and on
weekends. Flagging energy does not
present a problem. “I began to write
when I was eleven years old and I
won’t ever stop. That tough little kid
inside me who dreamed of holding her
own book won’t hear of it. Let me tell
you she cracks the whip!”
Lynn’s latest book GOOD WOMAN
BLUES is an August 2005 release
from HarperCollins Publishers.
