Explore this seriesAuthor bio
Judi Lynn is the pen name Judy Post uses for her cozy mysteries and contemporary romances. Her stories tend to make room for work, food, family, and the ordinary routines that get interrupted by a crime, a new neighbor, or an inconvenient attraction. Indiana is a frequent home base, both in her life and on the page.
Before publishing novels, she trained as an elementary school teacher. She attended the IPFW campus, earned a master's degree from Indiana University, and taught first, second, and fourth grades for six years.
Then she had two daughters and stepped away from the classroom. Writing became the next path. Post has said that she began by writing and selling mystery short stories, and later self-published urban fantasy under the name Judith Post. That early mix of mystery and magic still shows up in the supernatural books connected to Muddy River.
Her route into romance came through an agent's suggestion to try the genre. The result was the six-book Mill Pond series, beginning with Cooking Up Trouble. Set in a welcoming Indiana town, those books pair independent women with men who have their own reasons to be cautious, while farms, food, local businesses, and neighbors keep the stories moving.
Food is never far away in a Judi Lynn book.
The Mill Pond novels led to an invitation to write a mystery series, and that brought her back to an old favorite genre. The Body in the Attic introduces Jazzi Zanders, a house flipper in River Bluffs, Indiana, who finds a long-buried family secret in her latest renovation project. Jazzi, her cousin Jerod, and contractor Ansel keep buying rundown properties, fixing them up, cooking for a large circle of family and friends, and stumbling into crimes that need explaining.
The house-flipping premise has a personal root. Post and her husband bought a small bungalow from the 1920s when they married, and it needed plenty of work. That experience helped shape the practical details in the Jazzi books, where paint, plumbing, budgets, and stubborn old buildings matter as much as a clue found at the wrong moment.
Her other mystery settings take a different turn. The Muddy River stories blend cozy investigation with urban fantasy. Witches, shifters, vampires, Fae, demons, druids, and other supernatural residents have built a hidden community, and Hester, a powerful witch, and Raven, a fire demon, often stand at the center when that community is threatened. In the Lux books, a former reporter relies on her curiosity and her chosen family to untangle contemporary crimes.
The common thread is connection. Lynn's characters may be independent and sometimes stubborn, but they show up for neighbors, relatives, old friends, and people who need help.
She lives in Indiana with her husband and a gray cat. Away from the keyboard, she enjoys cooking, trying new recipes, and gardening, interests that have a habit of finding their way into both her mysteries and romances.
