 As a native
Floridian, Lynn Sholes was intrigued by the prehistoric people
of South Florida. She worked with the Broward County Archaeological
Society helping salvage ancient Indian sites before their destruction
and petitioning for preservation of sites. These activities birthed
the seed ideas of her first six novels, writing as
Lynn Armistead
McKee.
After reading an article more than ten years ago in Discover magazine,
the idea for The Grail Conspiracy was conceived. The article
was about an archaeological dig in Jerusalem. One of the
archaeologists stayed late on Christmas Eve, and as he brushed away
the dirt, something silver glinted in the setting sun. It was a cup
which he had reason to believe was The Cup, the Holy Grail. Resting in
the bottom of the artifact was a brown residue that proved to be human
blood, type O negative. And wouldn’t that be just the blood type of
Christ—universal donor? Lynn and Joe Moore, the co-author of The
Grail Conspiracy, teamed up and the tale started spinning.
Lynn has a B.S. in education from East Carolina University. She trains
teachers to teach writing for Citrus County Schools in Florida. Lynn
develops the content and facilitates face-to-face and online workshops
for staff development.
Lynn has presented writing workshops and lectures through The Florida
Center for the Book, Backroom Writers, Florida Romance Writers,
Writer’s Connection, and others. She has been a featured speaker at
Brevard Community College, West Regional Library, Broward Community
College, Friends of the Library, American Association of University
Women, The Broward County Historical Society, Plantation Historical
Society, The Graves Museum, National Council for Teachers of English,
and other organizations. She has been interviewed on television and in
newspapers (The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami Herald, Coral
Springs Forum) and Cultural Quarterly magazine. Lynn is a
member of Mystery Writers of America,
Florida Writers Association, the
