from her website:
Lynsey Stevens always wanted to be a writer. Writers, she was convinced in her adolescent daydreams, got to travel the world, were famous, made a fortune and didn't have to go work. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough information at that time. Since then, she has discovered how much work is involved in writing a book, leaving little time for travel, and she has made the acquaintance of the taxman. As to the fame - Lynsey who?
When Lynsey left school, writing wasn't considered a career option. So she became a Librarian, still maintaining her contact with the books she loved. She became a Library Assistant with the Brisbane City Council and five years later was promoted to Librarian in Charge of Inala Library.
It was actually one of Lynsey's library members who mentioned knowing someone who wrote romances. As Lynsey loved reading romances, she decided to try her hand at writing one. Two years later, her first book, Ryan's Return, was published by Mills & Boon.
The greatest thing about being a writer, as far as Lynsey is concerned, has been the opportunity to meet other writers who have given her so much reading pleasure over the years. Probably the highlight for Lynsey, was meeting Mary Burchel in London in 1984. Lynsey especially loved her "music" stories about the Warrenders. The friendships of her contemporary writers also means a lot to Lynsey.
Besides reading, Lynsey enjoys photography, cross stitching, genealogy and travelling (when she has time).
