THE BOOKHOUSE

I live with my long suffering husband, Dave, in a small village in England although I hope eventually to return to my native rural Wales, which inspired so much of my writing. I have two horses, two ferrel cats and an adopted Jack Russell terrier called Bouncer. I usually manage to sneak some sort of horse or unicorn into my stories.

Although most of my stories tend to be futuristic, the worlds I create are usually untainted by crowded cities and technology, embracing the beauty and wildness of nature. My characters often have to fight the elements and the terrain itself.

My heroes are strong and courageous, but chivalrous and honourable - and of course, handsome and hunky. My heroines are also strong and courageous, but retain their femininity and charm. Love is a driving feature in my stories. Love, not only between the hero and heroine, but between friends and siblings, and the animals which share their worlds.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, 'Hywela' is Welsh and is my first name. Since I've always been called by my second name, Lyn, I thought I'd combine the two and use Hywela Lyn as my pen name, but my friends call me 'Lyn'.)

I have two books currently published with The Wild Rose Press 'Starquest' and 'Dancing With Fate' .  The sequel to Starquest  - 'Children Of The Mist' is due for release on 19th June 2009
