Lynne Benton
From an early age Lynne Benton spent much of her time reading and writing stories.

Now she writes stories for younger children learning to read, as well as longer books for the 8-11 age group. She lives with her husband in Bath, and has recently begun reading her longer books on westwiltsradio.com.
