Author Biography


Lynne Hinton is a native of North Carolina, born in Durham and raised in Fayetteville. She is the daughter of Rev. Jack and Mrs. Shirley Hinton and the youngest of three children.

Lynne was a "PK," a preacher's kid who spent much of her life growing up in the church. She received her Masters of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California. Ordained as an American Baptist minister in 1990, she worked as a chaplain with Hospice of Rockingham County and then later at Hospice of Alamance-Caswell. In 1992, she became the pastor of Mount Hope United Church of Christ in southeast Guilford County and received the Privilege of Call in the United Church of Christ. In 1997, she left this pastorate and attended the North Carolina School of the Arts, School of Filmmaking. In 1998 she became the pastor of First Congregational United Church of Christ, a predominantly African-American church in Asheboro, NC.

Lynne's first book was a devotional guide, Meditations For Walking. Her first novel, Friendship Cake, was published by HarperSanFrancisco in May 2000. Her second novel, The Things I Know Best, was published in June 2001. Hope Springs, the first of two sequels to Friendship Cake, a Hope Springs Trilogy, was just published.

Lynne enjoys balancing her roles as a pastor and writer. She lives in Liberty, North Carolina with her husband, Bob Branard, and their one cat and two dogs.
