A voracious reader, Lynda has long nurtured a desire to write her own books. Throughout her entertainment-centered career she wrote reams of publicity copy for the numerous projects and clients she represented. All the while, working on stories she hoped one day to publish. She is now beginning her new life as an author with a collection of darkly comic stories, “Brutally Funny,” about the dysfunctional Lloyd family – a “fictional” group of misfits disturbingly similar to her own bizarre relatives.
Her professional diversity is explained by her favorite New Yorker cartoon of store window signage:
“Sears & Melville
Hardware and Novels”
