Lynn M. Stout writes twisted tales of strong women defeating evil, creepy stories with a paranormal angle, and rowdy characters full of joy and humor.

She grew up wandering the streets of Historic Downtown Jonesboro, Tennessee, where she absorbed the rich history, fed her already overactive imagination, and twisted her ankles on cobblestones. She always saw ghosts in the buildings and homes in the old town and couldn't rest until she’d created their stories. 

​​​Having never outgrown that obsession, she remains an unapologetic voyeur when it comes to old houses and creepy staircases. She loves research and enjoys a deep dive into old stories, especially if there is a wayward spirit involved. Happily married to the most amazing and supportive man, she is the mother of two young adults, and has recently become a grandmother to the smartest, most amazing, sweetest baby boy - ever.

No, really…EVER.

​​​​​​​Currently, she shares her home in Michigan with her husband, a lazy Boxer and two freakishly large, demanding cats. A Southern girl at heart, she loves Volunteer football, BBQ (done the right way), and Dolly. The heat, however, she could do without and loves not having random hot flashes while enjoying the phenomenal Michigan summers.
