Interview with Lynn Pierson

While Lynn was growing up her family relocated ten times and Lynn went to fourteen different schools. The experience that most impacted Lynn was the four years spent–beginning at the age of nine on the Caribbean Island of Grenada. Her life was totally immersed in a world framed with crystalline seas and malevolent appearing jungles. On the island, she basked in the inhabitant’s simple joy of life despite the majority being in poverty. Many lived in one-room board shacks that lacked even running water. It was from the Grenadians that she learned a depth of faith she’d never before imagined, a connection with one’s maker born of naiveté and a daily symbiosis with nature. Here, an overwhelming curiosity drove Lynn to spy upon the Grenadian culture and witness secretive back-jungle voodoo practices. This underground current drove the dancing and superstition that imbued the local’s celebrations with a certain frenzy. It was on this island she learned to face down six-foot iguanas, shake the poisonous centipedes from her clothes prior to dressing and to carefully breaststroke through shallow waters above fire coral infested reefs. It was in her family’s hundred-year-old home, La Chapelle, a stone building with peaked ceilings and three-foot-thick walls, where she finally encountered the structure’s specter: a priest and former resident who had died there in a tragic accident many decades ago. This experience forever cemented her knowing that life continues on after death. Lynn’s accumulated experiences resulted in her book The Great Awakening – a spiritual thriller series the press has likened to “The Da Vinci Code meets A Course in Miracles.” The official publish date for the first volume is March 29, 2010.
