Lynna Howard, was born in New Mexico, lived in Idaho for several years, migrated to Alaska as a teenager, and settled in Idaho in 1995. She makes her living as a writer. In the summer months, she leaves the high-tech world behind to spend most of her time in the mountains and deserts of Idaho, Utah, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. “PrueHeart the Wanderer” keeps a travel diary of her adventures. Frequently teamed with her brother, photographer Leland Howard, Lynna uses her travel notes as the basis for adventure articles, guidebooks, memoirs, and poetry. Lynna and her brother also perform Art Meets Adventure™. Lynna is a member of Women Writing the West, Idaho Trails Council, Academy of American Poets, and a founding member of Great Rift Writers. Publication credits include:
Leland Howard has devoted his life to the arts, including sculpture, music and image artistry. For a true artist, the tools of the trade become an extension of the self. Creating an image based on nature is a process that transcends words and is, in a sense, new every time. This freshness of approach is evident in the range of moods his photographs evoke, and in the evolving sensibility of this artist from Idaho. Leland Howard has an exceptionally detailed knowledge of the rough and tumble territory of the western United States. The patience to wait out a storm, the diligence it takes to explore access routes that aren’t on the map—these traits are just part of the toolbox for Howard. He takes them for granted, we revel in the results. Leland's credits include magazines, books, and art galleries. His limited-edition prints are displayed all over the world.
