Lynn Brown was technically born and raised in New York, but her heart (and most of her writing) will always belong to New Orleans. Her writing, both fiction and non, deals with issues of history, culture and place. She is the author of the upcoming Deep South travel guide with Moon Travel and has been published in Conde Nast Traveler, GQ, Broadly, Ebony Magazine, and Atlas + Alice, among others. She holds an MFA, in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University and is not quite convinced that the ghosts, fairies and vampires she writes about in her speculative fiction work are figments of the imagination.
