Lynn Walker Memoir

In the 1970's, I was the happy-go-lucky daughter of a Miami undercover narcotics agent. By the time I was in high school, Dad was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. By then, I was already filling the void he had left in my life with a massive drug habit of my own. It was the perfect set up for the only connection to Dad that remained when he was paroled from prison---cocaine. After a few years of abusing coke with Dad, I traded everything and everyone I cared about and was forced to choose between my father and my life.

Early Life

Me, Today

For many years, I worked with teens whose parents were drug addicts. My work with those resilient teens compelled me to reconnect with my estranged father, and I began writing my memoir, Midnight Calling. My next book, Breaking Midnight, I wrote based on numerous interviews with Dad about his life as a Miami undercover narc turned smuggler.

After a 25 year career in the environmental field, I began writing full-time in 2022 and have since published four books. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my family, two cats and two Lagotto search and rescue dogs.
