As a native Floridian, Lynn Sholes was intrigued by the prehistoric people of salvage ancient Indian sites before their destruction and petitioning for preservation of sites. These activities birthed the seed ideas of her first six novels, writing as Lynn Armistead McKee.

After reading an article more than ten years ago in Discover magazine, the idea for The Grail Conspiracy was conceived. The article was about an archaeological dig in Jerusalem. One of the archaeologists stayed late on Christmas Eve, and as he brushed away the dirt, something silver glinted in the setting sun. It was a cup which he had reason to believe was The Cup, the Holy Grail. Resting in the bottom of the artifact was a brown residue that proved to be human blood, type O negative. And wouldn't that be just the blood type of Christ--universal donor? Lynn and Joe Moore, the co-author of The Grail Conspiracy, teamed up and the tale started spinning.

Lynn has a B.S. in education from East Carolina University. She trains teachers to teach writing for Citrus County Schools in Florida. Lynn develops the content and facilitates face-to-face and online workshops for staff development.

Lynn has presented writing workshops and lectures through The Florida Center for the Book, Backroom Writers, Florida Romance Writers, Writer's Connection, and others. She has been a featured speaker at Brevard Community College, West Regional Library, Broward Community College, Friends of the Library, American Association of University Women, The Broward County Historical Society, Plantation Historical Society, The Graves Museum, National Council for Teachers of English, and other organizations. She has been interviewed on television and in newspapers (The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Miami Herald, Coral Springs Forum) and Cultural Quarterly magazine. Currently, she is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Florida Writers Association , the International Thriller Writers, and The Authors Guild.
