About Lynn

Lynn Kellan dreams up ways to get people to fall in love…she writes romance novels.  When she isn’t working on a manuscript, she is the creative force behind For Love or Funny, where you’ll find intellectual fodder about Martians and the strange thing between her legs.

To prepare for her career as a romance novelist, Lynn fell in love with bad boys, burly athletes, and battle-hardened marines. None of them knew she existed.  To ease her pain, she earned a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and a Masters of Adult and Continuing Education.  It took a number of years before she met a man who didn’t mind her addiction to chocolate and books.

They got married, bought a house, and attempted to wallpaper. During those blissful years, Lynn wrote her first novel. It stunk. Learning how to write became a welcome distraction from the daily grind of culinary disasters, dog-tastrophies, and minor household emergencies.

It wasn’t until children arrived that Lynn understood unconditional love. Inspired by that revelation, she endeavored to write a romance novel that didn’t stink. She bought a computer, set up an office in the guest bedroom closet, and wrote during nap time. It took a while to realize that she should probably write during the kids’ naps, not hers.

These days, Lynn’s home is bursting at the seams with her tall husband, two tall daughters, and a short Sheltie who won’t stop barking. Lynn is a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Valley Forge Romance Writers, where she is a judge and coordinator for The Sheila Contest. She loves to help writers use social media; to that end, she serves as one of the VFRW’s Webmistresses. She very lucky to be part of a critique group that meets every month.  Lynn has a penchant for finding the love and the funny in every story, and her romance manuscripts have a hearty dose of both.
