Where My Love of Stories Began

When I first sat down to write, I never imagined the journey that would unfold. Writing has been a quiet companion, a way to explore the depths of human experience and share stories that resonate. My hope is to connect with readers through the worlds I create and to inspire those who dream of telling their own stories.

This is my story - a glimpse into the life and work of Lynda DuBois.

Lynda DuBois Author Profile: A Journey Through Words

Writing is more than a craft to me; it is a way of life. From the earliest days, I found solace in books and the power of storytelling. My journey began with small stories scribbled in notebooks, evolving into novels that explore the complexities of human relationships, resilience, and hope.

I believe that every story has a heartbeat, a pulse that connects us all. My work reflects a blend of gentle reflection and straightforward narration, inviting readers to walk alongside characters who face challenges and triumphs. The process of writing is both a discovery and a gift - a way to understand the world and ourselves a little better.

First Published Book

Just five years ago I published my first book, Journey, the opening novel in the Pull of the Sister Moon series. Since then the path has unfolded faster than I ever expected. With the recent release of my fourteenth book, Wolf Coat, my writing life continues to grow in ways that surprise and inspire me.

Each story has brought new characters, new worlds, and new readers into my life.

The Inspiration Behind My Stories

Inspiration often comes from the quiet moments - a walk through a sunlit park, the scent of rain on dry earth, or the soft murmur of a conversation overheard. I draw from these sensory details to create vivid settings and authentic emotions in my fiction.

My stories are rooted in real human experiences, though they may take place in imagined worlds. I aim to capture the subtle emotions that shape our lives - hope, fear, love, and courage. Writing allows me to explore these themes with warmth and honesty, hoping to leave readers feeling seen and understood.

One of my favorite parts of writing is developing characters who feel real and relatable. I spend time imagining their backgrounds, dreams, and struggles, so they can speak to readers in a genuine voice. This connection is what makes storytelling so powerful.

Every writer begins somewhere.

Mine began long before I knew the word “author,” somewhere between childhood curiosity and the quiet magic of books.

I don’t remember the exact moment this photograph was taken, but I like to think that somewhere around that time a quiet love of books was already beginning to grow.

Do you remember the first book that truly captured your imagination? The one that made you forget where you were because the story had carried you somewhere else entirely. And have you ever returned to that book as an adult, curious to see if the magic still lives there?

My first “real” read was The Secret Garden when I was eight years old. I can still remember the feeling of stepping into that hidden world—of discovery, mystery, and the quiet transformation that happens when something forgotten begins to bloom again. That story stayed with me long after the last page.

Perhaps that’s what books do best. They leave small seeds behind in our imagination, waiting patiently until one day they grow into stories of our own.

Now that I write my own stories, I often wonder if they might plant seeds of their own.

Have any of my stories done that for you? Perhaps sparked an idea, stirred a memory, or simply carried you somewhere new for a little while?

I would truly love to hear from you. If one of my books has planted a seed in your imagination, send me a message or share it with me. Those are the moments that remind a writer why stories matter.

And if you're curious to see which stories are growing in my garden, I invite you to explore them. Books

Warmly, Lynda
