Lynna Howard, was born in New Mexico, lived in Idaho for several years, migrated to Alaska as a teenager, to Iowa as an adult, and settled permanently in Idaho in 1995.
Lynna makes her living as a language artist. During the winter months, she focuses on website development, technical writing and publicity campaigns. In the summer months, she leaves the high-tech world behind to spend most of her time on the trails and rivers of Idaho, Utah, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. Using her trail name, "PrueHeart the Wanderer," Lynna keeps a travel diary of her adventures. Frequently teamed with her brother, image artist Leland Howard, Lynna creates adventure articles, guidebooks, and memoirs. Her current projects include a collection of poetry that ranges from the mountains of the West to the urban canyons of New York City; and "Backcountry Roads, Idaho," a guidebook scheduled for publication in 2008 by Caxton Press of Caldwell, Idaho.
Lynna is a member of Women Writing the West, Idaho Trails Council, and Idaho Alpine Club; and a founding member of Great Rift Writers.
