Cari Lyn grew up on the east coast of Florida. She spent her childhood riding, reading and daydreaming, often all at the same time.

She started writing as soon as she realized she could put her daydreams on paper. However, it was her daughter, and the endless nights of reading and making up stories when her daughter couldn't sleep, that started her on the path towards writing children's books.

She still resides in Florida with her husband and her daughter, five chickens, four cats, two horses, and a peacock, who she really can't lay claim to. He just wonders in from time to time.
