'Under The Stars' is a page-turning story of new love and new beginnings. 'A memorable story'. - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.

Linn began writing in March 2009 and her debut novel was published in February 2011. Lynn says about her writing – “my stories are about love, life and real relationships - but romance is always the one thing that holds each story together. Often there's a light, psychic touch and I never dreamed I would write drawing upon my personal psychic experiences. But as my interest and understanding in the subject has grown, it is now such a part of my life that it finds its way into my fictional tales. However, what is heartening is that most of my experiences have been uplifting and it's wonderful to know loved ones are around me always. I hope it will make readers stop and wonder 'What if?'
