Lynn Thomas – Writing

Lynn Thomas

Lynn has written in different forms over the years, first preferring the short poem to now enjoying writing short stories that combine both a fictional and non-fictional narrative.  She likes being open to what comes as the story begins to evolve, often referring to places she once visited or remembered from her past.
