Frances Lynn

Frances Lynn was born in St Mary's Hospital Paddington in London and was educated at Malvern Girls' College. She started her journalistic career when she wrote the 'bitch' gossip column for the defunct Ritz Newspaper. She was also a freelance journalist and wrote so many film columns, she was forced to to use a pseudo name for some of her bylines. She has written two novels: "Crushed", a Young Adult novel which she illustrated, and also "Frantic" about the early Seventies set in London and San Francisco. She got the idea for "Frantic" when she used to hang out in David Hockney's basement during the early Seventies. Her non-fiction book "Willing To Die For It", a biography on Dr Sammy Lee, an early IVF pioneer was published by Murray Print in 2010. "Frantic" was republished by Eiworth Publishing with a cover by Celia Birtwell in 2010. Frances lynn is currently writing her third novel.
