So exactly who is Lynny Prince ?
Lynny Prince started writing when she was twelve, writing and illustrating her own books about horses, her first love and was inspired by Marguerite Henry and her Misty of Chincoteague books.
The books Lynny penned were full of adventures and always had happy endings as only a child can write them. Lynny's mother's beautiful poetry, that expressed the trials and tribulations of her life and the lives of her girls, also had a big influence on Lynny’s writing career.
Lynny also started playing guitar around the same time, following in the footsteps of her older sister, and so began a career in music that has spanned some 30 years. Her last group, Miss Joshua, won several awards for their original material before going their separate ways in January of 2000.
Lynny and her husband Matt married in May of 2000, a second marriage for both, and she began seriously writing shortly after that. Her husband insisted that she stop working as a paralegal assistant and write full time when he read the first few chapters of one of her unpublished novels titled “The Haunting of Mann Theater” which is about the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. Along with the continual support from Matt and her two children, she continued to write full-time until her mother fell seriously ill. She began writing Scattered Leaves: The Legend of Ghostkiller in 2004 in the spare moments she had between helping to care for her mother. She says the book saved her sanity during the dark hours and the spirits that she wrote about are still with her today. “I’m just the vehicle by which the text traveled to the paper,” she says.
Lynny is of Scots-Irish and Cherokee ancestry, with German thrown in “for the sauerkraut side.” She continues to write from the small farm she shares with her husband Matt, who is Dakota Sioux, in Radcliff, KY. They are the founders of Red Road Awareness, an organization that raises the awareness of Native American issues that are faced in the Kentuckiana area. They are also on the committee for the Ancestor Days Memorial Reunion, which commemorates the reburial of the 900+ graves of Indigenous people that were dug up and desecrated in 1987 in Uniontown, KY.
