Two Books by Lynne North

About Lynne and Her Books
I live in the north west of England and work as a data analyst for one of the local Health  Authorities. I have been a prolific reader all my life, and for many years have  spent the majority of my free time writing. As well as being educated up to  degree level, I have completed courses and received diplomas from ‘The Writing  School Ltd’ and ‘The Academy of Children’s Writers.
My aim in life has always been to write, and I‘ve had a sideline of freelance  writing for more years than I like to admit to having lived. This has mainly  involved published articles in such magazines as ‘Prediction’. I have also  completed two children’s novels, published by YouWriteOn in conjunction with  Legend Press in December’08. Both books were also released on Kindle in 2011. I am currently working on a fantasy novel for  adults,  another very different children’s humorous fantasy, and a macabre Twist in the Tale Anthology.
