About Lynn

I was born in Cardiff, Wales. I am an emeritus professor of English. My "teachers" are the play writers, novelists and screenplay writers I have taught in my classes and read over the years. Despite this lack of "official" classes, I continue to write and win many awards.

My websites:: ; ; ;

I am a multiple national and international award-winning screenplay writer. Comedy, horror, historical, drama, romantic-comedy.

Personal statement:
I am an immigrant (born and raised in Wales) with a name (common for males in my home country of Wales) that confuses me as female. That might explain why I love to explore and write, in serious and comic dramatic forms, stories of those who, through choice or happenstance, find themselves strangers in a strange land (or even in their own land). In addition, I share the immigrants’ attempts to “navigate as safely as possible through an ever-shifting landscape of independent and unpredictable powers” (Alan Jacabs), and the difficulty of coalescing given and adopted values and ways of seeing.

Favorite quotation: “The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars; it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.” Andre Malraux

Unique traits: Love writing, teaching. Married to Dani Elliott. Although retired from University teaching, I continue to teach in the Osher LifeLong Learning Program. Classes: "Celtic History," "Celtic Mythology,"" "A Writer looks at 'Hamlet,'" plus other courses
