About Lynda
Lynda Wolters was born and raised in a tiny farming town of 400 people in northern Idaho. Her first job was picking rocks from the fields alongside her dad and grandpa. She learned to drive on her grandma’s lap—steering while her grandma worked the pedals—and graduated to her grandpa’s old 1950s stick-shift International pickup, with him riding shotgun. By the time she was legally allowed to drive, she’d already earned her stripes on the family farm, eventually promoted to truck driver and then to the coveted role of combine operator during harvest. After high school, she headed to New York to work as a nanny, then moved to Las Vegas to continue her education.
She later returned to Idaho to raise her three sons and now lives there with her husband and their Peekapoo, Max. When she’s not writing, Lynda works at a law firm, blending her love of language with a sharp eye for detail.
Max - who is now too big to lift!

Lynda has worked in the legal field for 30+ years and enjoys ballroom and swing dancing, horseback riding, kayaking, and river rafting. She has a heart for people and enjoys regularly volunteering. She spends the bulk of her spare time reading and writing.
Lynda has completed two books in her Voices series. Voices of Cancer released in October 2019, and Voices of LGBTQ+, released in August 2020.
The Placeholder, Lynda’s debut novel, was released in November 2022. Audio coming late-summer 2025.
Beneath the Canopy (working title) of a middle-grade historical fiction inspired by stories from her in-laws, who were children in the Netherlands curing World War II has been picked up by a UK publisher. Awaiting release! (2025 - fingers crossed)
With my former writing buddy, Tucker “Bug.” RIP.
Works on the “drawing board”
There are several ideas that Lynda has mulling around in her pea-brain, including a 90K word manuscript about found family that is currently out for developmental editing. Fingers crossed! (Think, This Is Us meets Parenthood, with a twist of Little Miss Sunshine .)
Lastly, and still, Lynda has a draft of an all-too “Lifetime-ish” serial killer manuscript collecting dust. (At one point, this one got a bit of a makeover as it moved off the floor and onto her desk, but it has since been placed in a folder and shelved.) This one has become my albatross.
