I Am Rembrandt’s Daughter was her young adult novel.

In her children books and those novels to come, she infused her passion for history. She went on to write fourteen children’s books, from picture books to middle-grade. She had three middle-grade daughters at the time and this book evolved naturally. Lynn Cullen’s first published book The Backyard Ghost-about a girl who found the ghost of a Civil War Soldier in her Atlanta backyard-came in 1993. An author receiving this award is recognized for their writing and serving readers. A Lifetime Achievement recipient has notable successes. Here is what I learned: Lifetime Achievement is given to those who have dedicated their lives to a worthy cause and/or somehow made an impact in the lives of others. What constitutes giving a Lifetime Achievement Award? I googled for a definition. This would not be the last time I would experience her warm calming light. She drew me into a conversation about books and had me laughing in no time.

I was overwhelmed and feeling a bit like a fish out of water when Lynn came up and introduced herself. Her novel, Reign of Madness, and mine were two of the ten finalists. I first met Lynn Cullen in April of 2012 at the Townsend Prize Award Ceremony.
