Lynn Fleweling was born in Presque Isle, Maine, which contrary to common assumption is not an island. She received her undergraduate from the University of Maine at Presque Isle, where she majored in English, minored in History, and received a teaching certificate she had no intention of ever using. Since then, she has studied literature, veterinary medicine, ancient Greek among other things, and worked as a necropsy technician, a house painter, an office worker, a freelance editor, a freelance journalist (www. sff. net/people/Lynn. Flewelling/OtherWritings. html), and yes, even as a teacher now and then, an instructor of workshops on creativity and fiction writing.
