Lynn Maudlin was born in Los Angeles to a physicist & an aspiring concert pianist and flung into SF by her older brother when he gave her a subscription to Analog in her early teens, but she didn't find fandom until 1982 when she landed at Mythcon XIII.   Lynn spent 10 years on the Mythopoeic Society board of directors and co-founded their fiction zine, The Mythic Circle, with Sherwood Smith; she served four years as the North American Booking Officer for the Tolkien Centenary Conference (Keble College, Oxford, 1992) and has served on numerous other con coms.   Lynn is a singer/songwriter, an artist, a writer, an editor, and a film producer.   She loves to laugh but doesn't remember jokes, is easily pulled into deep conversations about God and the Bible, and appreciates the obsession that is costuming.   Lynn is proud she survived the 60s with most of her brain intact.   She loves good food, good wine, and chocolate!
