Lyn Bixby was drafted within weeks of graduating in 1969 from Colby College in Waterville, Maine. After being discharged from the army, he found a job at a suburban Connecticut daily newspaper as a copy boy, was promoted to reporter, and spent most of his career at the state’s largest newspaper, The Hartford Courant, primarily working on its special projects desk as an investigative reporter focused on corruption. Some projects gave him opportunities to dig into issues later raised in his debut novel, The Pacifist. During his newspaper career he received a range of writing awards, including a Pulitzer Prize.

Born in New York City, Lyn currently lives in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.
