Lynn

Now I write it all down and call it a novel.

About Me

Married 35 years to the great TOM BARRY, four GREAT kids, seven (GREAT) grandkids...life is good! Life will be even better when I secure the services of a good literary agent. I am a writer... www.lynnbarry.com How do I know I am a writer? I was born in 1953 and early on I had a wild imagination and made up stories to amuse myself and my sister. I enjoyed doing this more than anything else. I didn't know I was creating fiction until I was in my late twenties and had one of those "I am a writer" calling-type experiences and have been writing ever since. I will be completing my fifth novel soon and am in love with the process from beginning, middle, to end and sometimes I change points of view and re-enter the story to make it better, longer, and well...that's my kind of fun. Next to writing I love to support my sons and their music. They are my first second and third friends (in order of birth)...Check them out.They ROCK! Thanks.

What do you see in your reflection

I stand before the mirror And look with unbiased eyes Is that a flaw I see in me Or is it an x-ray of lies I want to think I am happy With who is looking back at me But sometimes I don't even know Who...
