Interview with Author – Lynne Howard

,

I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and continue to reside there with my husband, our three children (ages 24, 23 and 15) and our two dogs. I graduated from law school in Toronto in 1995 and practiced law for several years before I decided to change my professional path. With the encouragement of my husband, I went back to school and became a teacher. I have been teaching Grade 11 and Grade 12 Law, as well as other Social Sciences courses at a private high school for over twenty years. I have also taught part-time at a university in Toronto, and I have written non-fiction publications for teachers and students. I enjoy doing volunteer work in my community and participating in extra-curricular activities at my school. I find the time to write my novels on weekends and holidays. I am so grateful to my family for all their support and for giving me the time I need to write.
