Lynn Byk Interview

 
Picture
Today, we welcome author Lynn Byk to Interviews & Reviews. Lynn enjoys being a wallflower journalist circulating through the corners of a room allowing a story to unfold at will. She doesn't flinch in setting forth the details though they might conflict with a given setting. In her way of presenting the angles, she is a nonconformist of Christian authors and literary writers alike.

Finding her writing rhythm between nerdy details and amazing observations about life, Lynn Byk earned her Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Composition from Colorado Christian University, and she chose a paralegal career in Denver, Colorado after managing a bookstore. She is passionate about being honest in cross-generational, multi-cultural situations from which she takes her stories.

Today, Lynn is talking to us about her book The Fearless Moral Inventory of Elsie Finch and she is giving away one print copy, one PDF and an audio book! 

Welcome, Lynn, to Interviews & Reviews!
