NANCY LYNN was born in Fort Worth, Texas, grew up in the countryside west of the
city, and returned to live in Fort Worth. She attended TCU and has a degree in
education. Although she worked in banking for many years, she is also a
contract writer and continues her hobby of writing short stories. THE
AIREDALE'S TALES is told by Bentley the Airedale, who lived with Nancy Lynn for
12+ years. You will see that he was a charmer and a rascal and wanted to share
his adventures about life on earth (Fort Worth in particular) with everyone who
reads about them. Be prepared to laugh and maybe cry a little as you read THE
AIREDALE'S TALES.

Trinity Writers’ Workshop newsletters and also their collection of Christmas
stories. Ann resides in Fort Worth with
her son, two boisterous dogs and a somewhat elusive cat and is currently
working on her 9th cozy mystery.
