Lyn McConchie started writing in 1990 and within a year had short stories and poems published. In 1993, her first book – a humorous true-life work (Farming Daze) about her farm, friends, and animals appeared – this was followed by six others in that series. As a joke between them, a long-time friend of Lyn’s, Andre Norton, was given a book Lyn had written set in one of Andre’s worlds. Andre was impressed with the work and took it to her agents who sold it to Warner books. This led in turn to Lyn writing another six books in Andre’s worlds, which were published either by Warner or TOR. Lyn has won seven short story Muse Medallions from the (International) Cat Writer’s Association, and six Sir Julius Vogel Awards for her books. Since the original book, Lyn has seen almost fifty more books appear plus over three hundred short stories, and says she has no intention of stopping so long as she is able to write.
One Is One-And All Alone: The province is British Columbia. The village is Nelson. On its streets walks nary a soul. Where are the village’s inhabitants? Dead from a mutated plague. Beyond the desolate town lives Vee, a woman desperate to make sense of a post-apocalyptic world. Vee is neither a hunter-gatherer nor a settler, but one with well-developed skills for survival. One plant, one tree, one animal, and one weapon at a time, Vee fortifies her isolation as she awaits her enemies.

Forever Cornwall: They are a society of three: a grandmother, a grandson, and his wife. They live harmoniously on a friend’s estate. A plague strikes; it jeopardizes their peaceful existence and challenges their courage and resilience. None among the tight trio and enclave in which they have immersed themselves are quitters; they scrap and fight for themselves and one another. Should they lose, they will have blood for their going, and their tormentors will not soon forget them. You can read an excerpt here.
