More About the Author

Lynn Hanna is an award-winning, bestselling author who has written over a dozen novels, including THE STARRY CHILD, which was chosen one of the Top 200 Romance Novels of All Time by RT Magazine. THE STARRY CHILD has now been made into a compelling and highly-acclaimed series. Lynn has also won accolades for her poetry and short stories, many of which echo the strong Celtic themes of her current series.
Always a storyteller at heart, Lynn went from spinning bedtime adventures for her two children to weaving grown up tales of loves that transcend time and fast-paced journeys into magical realms that delve deeply into the very real challenges of the human heart. And in the process, she learned that her love of all things Scottish included a desire to learn Scottish Gaelic, a language she describes as "from Mars," but an interest that overflows into her work.
She is the first to admit that her characters take on a life of their own as their stories intensify and the obstacles they must face sometimes appear to be overwhelming. But like her characters, Lynn has a true belief in the winning qualities of love, faith, and justice.
Her secluded little home along the golden coast of Northern California is often surrounded by cool, elusive fog off the Pacific. The mists have a way of transporting her heart back to her beloved Scotland and to all the stories there waiting to be told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lynn Hanna does it again!!!!, August 8, 1999

This review is from: Circle of Time (Paperback)

Taking us again to the Scottish Highlands, Lynn Hanna has written another book full of legend, lore, and romance. Kyle makes a wonderful hero and there are plenty of appearances by Matt, Rainey, and Sasha (and Malcolm, Emma, and Angus) to keep THE STARRY CHILD fans satisfied. Chapters one and seven are particularly powerful not only in the writing but in the emotional tug. And for those of you who were delighted with the surprising twist at the conclusion of TSC, Ms. Hanna does not disappoint. Her surprising twists at the end of books are going to become her trademark, I'm afraid (I hope <g>). Run, don't walk to the stores and get this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly captivating story, July 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Circle of Time (Paperback)

What a wonderful read...............engrossing in nature and the lore and legend of Scotland. Her writing took me there with the characters. An amazing story of survival and the power that love holds on one another. Facinating and intense at one point in the book, so as I could not put it down.
The best an author can do.
I will now go back and find the first book and read it.
I just happened upon Circle of Time in the library. Lucky me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel...As Good As The First!!, January 15, 2004

This review is from: Circle of Time (Paperback)

I loved Lynn Hanna's first book "The Starry Child" and was eager to read the second in this series and boy was I glad I rushed out to buy this book "Circle of Time". Both books are a tribute to the bindings of family, history and the healing powers of love through time. These books are a must read for any mythical romance lover!! Why not as captivating as the first book, "Circle of Time" holds it own and more!!
