Lynn Howard
Lynn Howard lives in Cedar Hill, MO, where all her sexy Shifters exist. She lives and breathes hot Alpha males and sassy brassy females. She feels the most at home knee deep in mud and chicken muck and prefers to be outside under the stars, cuddled up under a blanket in front of a bonfire than in the big city.When not typing away or feeding her chickens, you can find her fantasizing about her next hot country boy for her next book or wandering the woods in search of wildlife. She loves all animals and insects...except spiders. Her favorite foot accessory is barefoot and she owns at least twenty sets of salt-n-pepper shakers, yet only uses one.Her first release, Gray’s Wolf, will be available January 11, 2019, with the second book in the series slated for release late March or early April. And just like in Gray’s Wolf, there are more hot country boy Shifters just waiting to their turn for a little love and romance.

A Classroom Philosophy
Background
Yes, music did touch my early years. Mother played the piano and studied voice. I took clarinet in elementary school and sang a little in junior high. I did take piano lessons from fourth grade until my dad tired of forcing me to practice. As the hormones flooded my overweight frame, I determined to be a man
. Therefore, I left music behind and it disappeared from my life during my sophomore year in high school. When I was a senior at Central Washington University (1959) , I had to take a general music appreciation
course, fortunately, for only a quarter. As graduation approached, I looked for a coaching job with a high school teaching position. I finally realized that I had to enter into a district through an elementary teaching job. Now I found myself in strange situations: playing piano for a choir in both elementary school and at my next job, junior high. After three years of teaching history at the junior high level, I went to the University of Washington on a sabbatical leave and studied Russian language, history, and literature. When I returned to teaching I moved to a high school as language and history teacher and as an assistant football coach.
As I began my first year in the new position, there was an odd turn of events. The high school was suddenly without a choral teacher. The principal knew that I had played the piano a bit at lower levels, so he asked me to baby sit
