About the Author

Lynne Burke, like many other authors, enjoyed a rather typical life before publishing her latest book, In Small Measures - that is if you consider typical being a wife, mother of two, running a children's boutique, coffee lounge, and a tavern (to name a few). She discovered her passion for the written word at an early age.

Lynne spent many of her younger years in Sydney, Australia watching the service men and women enjoying their leave and often wondered about the feelings of the families they left behind. This is how the idea for In Small Measures was born. The book and characters evolved many times before she made the final decision to move forward and publish. So, as you turn the pages of In Small Measures, you will notice the development of Kris (the main character) and be able to see Lynne's ideas unfold right before your eyes.

In her spare time, Lynne enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, watching movies, reading/writing books, dining out with friends, and going to the horse races.

In addition to In Small Measures, Lynne has two books forthcoming. One is a how-to book on the topic of fundraising (an industry she spent a good portion of her professional life in) and the other she affectionately refers to as "a mystery with a difference".
