Literary Yard 
It was indeed an interesting one to listen to Lynda Gunther’s journey through her professional life to writing. It’s very convincing to think that it was easy for making this shift in her life as she felt less obligated and more enthusiastic to play with words to express her experiences. Many successful writers’ secret behind their magical switching to writing is when they are left to themselves.
Lynda has the knack of portraying the ordinary happenings of life into a gripping fiction and this is because of communicating truth to others.
She is equally gifted to write for children & the young. Travelling back into life, listening to other people, re-editing our work a number of times… Lynda has given great gift of advice to future generations.
Thx Mr Onkar for this
