Basic Info| Name: | Lyn C. A. Gardner |
|---|---|
| Location: | Newport News, Virginia, United States |
| Website: | The Gardner Castle |
BioI've had fiction, poetry, art, photography, and articles published by venues like The Doom of Camelot, The Leading Edge, Legends of the Pendragon, Strange Horizons, and Talebones. Two stories and a poem earned honorable mention in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror (12th, 13th, and 15th editions). In 2004, I attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop. I'm a member of Broad Universe, Mystery Writers of America, the Science Fiction Poetry Association, the Virginia Library Association, and the Wolfe Pack. My byline is now Lyn C. A. Gardner, but I've written under a number of variations of my name: C. A. Gardner, Lyn Gardner, Carolyn Adele Gardner, etc. (But please call me "Lyn," not "Carolyn.")
For the curious, here are a few samples of my work. For a more complete list of publications and other information, visit my website.
