Those of us who have not found our true mates yet will look into the eyes of those we meet to see if perhaps we see a hint of golden brown in their eyes and smell the wonderous indefinable scent when we are around them.Lynnette Bernard is from a large and loving family and is also a talented author without a doubt, but she is also a survivor of life.  Lynnette began writing her first book at the tender age of 14.  She has known rejection of her work like most authors, but never gave up.  She eventually was signed on with Siren Publishing, a smart move on their part.  She has two series going at present but if you go to her website,[...] you will see she has many different novels swirling around in that busy mind of hers.  I wish there was a quicker process to getting the raw ideas from her thoughts down onto paper  (or computer).  She is a writer through and through,  like most authors she would probably bleed words if you were to cut her.When she gets a moment to relax she likes to read almost anything she can get her hands on or go to the movies or the beach.  Her greatest joy is her family, her children, brothers, sisters and mother.  The strongest and greatest infuence in the making up the characteristics of her male heroes is her father.  Many of the characteristics of her heroines come from Lynnette herself.  In each and every book family is the main driving force.  Children are nutured and loved just as Lynnette and her family cherish their children, as should we all.  Her stories remind us that love shines bright in the darkness of adversity.  It is how we face life's trials that makes us the people we are, fault and fallicies included.  Bending is allowed but not letting it break us completely is how we grow in strength and character.  Using that premiss I can honestly say Lynnette Bernard is one of the strongest women I know.Lynnette Bernard believes in happily ever after just as most of us do.  We know love is not perfect, but it can be the best thing in our lives.  Sometimes we do not get it right the first time, but if we are lucky we do find it, until then we have authors like Lynnette to keep the hope of finding it alive in all of us.  The creed Ms Bernard lives by would be the quote: "The heart knows what it needs." She truly believes and lives by this quote. Lynnette said it best herself when she stated, "Every one of us has a basic need for acceptance, kindness, and love. That's why every one of my books will always have a Happily Ever After, and the men and women will be kind and loving toward one another. Life is too hard. In my books, kindness and love will reign."  Lynnette Bernard could be your neighbor or co-worker, a woman worth knowing.
