Lynn Austin

Austin connects historical depth and character development with themes of faith and redemption, charting a unique path in Christian fiction. Her background as a teacher and later as a full-time author has greatly influenced her work. Her interest in history and archaeology led her to pursue graduate studies, which in turn inspired novels such as "Wings of Refuge." This focus on well-researched settings, coupled with compelling narratives, distinguishes her work in exploring significant historical periods, particularly biblical times.\n\nWhile living in Canada, Austin discovered the time and environment needed to develop her writing during her children's nap times, an approach that became instrumental in her transition from teaching to writing full-time. Her novels often feature deep historical contexts and address serious social issues, a method that resonates with readers seeking stories that make them laugh, cry, and reflect on their personal journeys. This approach has earned her critical acclaim, including eight Christy Awards for excellence in Christian fiction, underscoring the impact of her literary contributions. \n\nAustin's prolific career is marked by over 27 published books, including the notable "Chronicles of the King Series." Her stories are not only engaging but also provide readers with insights into the human experience across different eras. With more than one and a half million copies sold worldwide, her books have touched many lives, affirming her place as a significant voice in Christian fiction.
