Lynn SolteBorn in Paterson, New Jersey, Lynn Solte is a writer now living in Hollywood, Florida. Her working life began in the advertising industry, where she discovered a love for and absorbed the elements of good writing and graphic design; she went on to stdy journalism at FIT/SUNY and graduate from the Institute of Children's Literature. Realizing along the way she did not feel fulfilled in a corporate setting and that helping to improve the everyday lives of those in need was her greatest motivation, she moved into the not-for-profit sector, where she spent the majority of her career writing/designing fund raising brochures/promotional material and newsletters for major non-profits, such as the University of Miami School of Medicine Department of Orthopedics, Easter Seals, ArtCenter South Florida, and the Concert Association of Florida. From 2011 until 2023, she ran Rising Star Résumés, her own résumé writing business. Now in her eighth decade and semi-retired, she still loves to write. In the Blink of an Eye being her first, Lydia's Story is her second Young Adult historical novel. Read More Read Less
