and a truly entertaining read." -John Visconti
Lynda Engler's Bio:
I grew up in New Jersey, spent 22 years in Connecticut and now make Vermont my home. I live in the scenic northern part of the state with my husband, children, and one ADD yellow lab (ADD=Attention Deficit Dog).
After a long career working with books - first as a buyer for a national retail book chain, then as a production associate publishing leather-bound classic books, I decided to use my creative energy to actually write some books! My kids were a great inspiration.
I wrote my first book, The Forgotten Isle, in 2003, and then started many projects, and never finished any of them. I finally finished and published The Forgotten Isle with illustrations by Noa Chaikin in 2011.

The concept for "Out of Ewr" has been around since about 2005, and the three novels have been floating around in my head since then. I'm working on getting them on paper now. The first novel is in it's final rewrite (hopefully!) and the second one, Into the Yellow Zone" is being co-written simultaneously.
Eventually I'll get them all done, and get back to my other projects, including The Lost City of Troy, a sequel to The Forgotten Isle, and My Summer Dad.
I currently belong to a Writer's Group in northern Vermont, and I'd like to thank them all for their invaluable critiques. I wouldn't know what to do without them! And my sincerest thanks go to my best friend/editor/co-writer/bounce-off-the-wall-all-things-important-and-not-important (I'm not sure exactly what to call him) but I couldn't do any of this without him, Henry.
