How Lynne Got Started
Lynne began her career as an investigative reporter and managing editor of the Chicago Tribute-New York News Syndicate, and wrote articles for the New York Daily News and the New York Times, among other publications.
Her first major investigation uncovering several international babyselling rings resulted in an award-winning story, about which she testified in the US Congress and expanded into her first book, The Baby Brokers (which eventually became a television movie starring Lynda Carter).
After moving to London, Lynne met her future husband, editor and fellow journalist Bryan Hubbard. Together they launched the newsletter What Doctors Don’t Tell You (now an international magazine), which researches what works – and doesn’t work – in conventional and alternative medicine.
While writing about health, Lynne wondered why our current scientific paradigm could not account for many well established alternative practices, such as distant healing. That curiosity eventually prompted her to research and write The Field and eventually delve deeply into the New Science and the extraordinary capacities in every person that have largely remained untapped.
Lynne’s early grounding in investigative journalism, coupled with her talent as a storyteller, has enabled her to transform complex notions into page-turning narrative non-fiction. As one of the only women in a field dominated by men, Lynne brings a feminine energy to this work, stressing connection, community and the power of love.
Lynne and Bryan have been married for 35 years, and have two adult daughters and one grandchild.
