Hi, I’m Lynnette.

I live in California’s Central Valley. My husband, Kyle, and I have been married since 1988. We are the parents of nine children. Six we’ve had the joy of raising here, while three are waiting for us in heaven. Creativity runs deep in our family. Every one of our children has pursued a creative path, making our home equal parts chaotic, comedic, loud, and wonderfully fun. Looking back, it was the best writing school I could have asked for.

My writing journey began with memoirs born from profound loss, grew into offbeat fiction, and eventually led me to write stories for the screen. In hindsight, it makes perfect sense. Long before I knew what a slug line was, I was filling journals with the funny, frustrating, beautiful moments that make up everyday life.

Humor has always been my go-to, helping me navigate life’s harder chapters while keeping my eyes fixed on joy. I have a soft spot for misfits, romantics, and wonderfully peculiar people. God never makes mistakes, and I believe becoming who we’re meant to be is far more interesting than trying to become someone we’re not, although the in-between is where the comedy lives.

Whether I’m writing a screenplay, a blog post, a book, or something else, I’m drawn to the moments we pretend we don’t relate to, the flaws we’d rather hide, and the awkward truths that connect us all. I shamelessly mine real life for inspiration.

My family can confirm this.
