Lyn Cote

Lyn Cote is a well-established American author, celebrated for her historical and romance novels. With a clear and articulate voice, Cote's writing resonates with a wide audience, reaching readers from all around the world. Her love for books began at a young age, growing up in Illinois where she would eagerly await the weekly arrival of the Bookmobile to her neighborhood. This early love for literature led to a desire to write, and after teaching history and English, Cote became a mother and began working on her first novel.

Despite facing years of rejection, Cote's perseverance paid off when her first book, "Never Alone," was chosen to appear in the first year of the new Love Inspired line in 1997. Since then, she has become a prolific writer, producing numerous articles on writing and the emerging Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) fiction market. In 2006, Cote's book, "Chloe," was a finalist for the RWA's RITA award, one of the highest awards in the romance genre in the inspirational category.

Cote's writing demonstrates a classic split personality, as she writes two distinct types of novels: contemporary Christian romantic suspense and historical Women's Fiction, Family Sagas. She holds a master's degree in American history and takes pleasure in researching historical eras filled with conflict. Cote's brand, "Strong Women, Brave Stories," is reflected in her writing, which always includes a strong heroine, authentic historical detail, and a multicultural cast of characters. Whether in her contemporary or historical works, Cote celebrates the triumph of both human and divine love. Her heroines and heroes face real-life crises and unexpected changes, but they emerge victorious, demonstrating the power of love in overcoming adversity.
