USA TODAY Bestselling Author Lynne Gentry.

I love small towns and people watching. Observing body language. Catching the twitch of an eyebrow, the flicker of discomfort in a gaze, or the shifting of nervous feet.

As a professional acting coach-theater director turned fiction author, I love using my crazy imagination to entertain you with my books. My works range from the highly-rated science fiction time travel series (Carthage Chronicles), medical thrillers (Ghost Heart), to small town southern romantic comedy series (the Mt. Hope Southern Adventures and the Women of Fossil Ridge). Readers are cheering this return to my small town roots. You'll laugh and cry as these heartwarming adventures drop you in the middle of small-town Texas life.

I am also a speaker and Bible teacher. Thirty years of helping my husband pastor has given me an extensive background in women’s ministry, writing, and leading Bible studies. Because my passion has always been to ground believers in the Word of God, encourage their relationship with Christ, and equip them to tell their redemption story, I've written Stories that Change Everything, the Parables of Jesus.

When I'm not creating engaging and life-changing content for you, I am spending time with my large family or working the hospital oncology wards with my medical therapy dog.
