Lynn Bryant was born and raised in London's East End. She studied History at University and had dreams of being a writer from a young age. Since this was clearly not something a working class girl made good could aspire to, she had a variety of careers including a librarian, NHS administrator, relationship counsellor, manager of an art gallery and owner of an Irish dance school before realising that most of these were just as unlikely as being a writer and took the step of publishing her first book.

She now lives in the Isle of Man and is married to a man who understands technology, which saves her a job, and has two grown-up children and two Labradors. She is passionate about history, with a particular enthusiasm for the Napoleonic era. When not writing, she walks her dogs, reads anything that's put in front of her and makes periodic and unsuccessful attempts to keep a tidy house.

Lynn writes historical novels, mainly set during the Napoleonic era and prides herself on meticulous research. Two of her novels "An Unwilling Alliance" and "This Blighted Expedition" have been shortlisted for the Society for Army Historical Research Fiction prize.
