Lynette Hall Hampton

Lynette Hall Hampton is a life long resident of North Carolina and her love of books and reading was instilled in her when she was a little girl. Her mother read everything from Shakespeare to Grace Livingston Hill. Her father was a devoted western and fan.

Through the years, Lynette’s work has varied from a clerk in a department store to a Human Resource Manager for a large manufacturing company. She says these have been jobs to pay the bills and writing has always been her career.

Thirty years ago she began writing and selling short stories and articles to magazines and newspapers. She wrote her first mystery novel in 2001 and it was published in 2004. It was nonimated for the best work of NC fiction by the NC Historical and Literary Society. Since then she has had 14 more novels and two non-fiction books come out.

Lynette belongs to Sisters in Crime, Murder We Write (the local chapter of SiC which she established in 2003), Romance Writers of America, Carolina Romance Writers, and Tarheel Writers Roundtable, a local critique group.
