Kay and Mickey Lynch gave birth to two daughters - US. Patricia
Noel was born in their native city, Bronx, New York, but only
resided there while in the hospital nursery. The little family
moved to a two family house in New Jersey - Kay and Mickey's
"house in the country". Three and a half years later
Kathleen Ann was born and the Lynch family was complete.
Our parents' names might sound familiar to you. That's because
we made a promise to each other to name characters in each
of our books after our mom and dad - whether they just have
cameos or they get to have some fun as secondary characters.
This way they live on in our pages as well as our hearts.

Daddy was a doorman for the exclusive Fifth Avenue designer, Hattie
Carnegie, until her death and the close of her shop. A natural born
storyteller, he would regale us with stories of the famous people
he helped into and out of the shop every day: the Duke and Duchess
of Windsor, Jackie "O"(before she was a Kennedy or an
Onassis) and Lucille Ball. We extended an invitation to Lucy and
Desi to come for dinner and watch "I Love Lucy" with us
and we could never understand why that never happened.
Mickey started his own paint contracting business in town and
Mike The Painter was much beloved by his clients. In his spare time
he wrote children's books that delighted us. He died when we were
teenagers and Kay never remarried. After she died, we self-published
a treasury of Mickey's charming stories - Three Wishes by Michael
Lynch. You can purchase copies at your favorite bookstore.

We were young when Daddy died and Mom was nearly destroyed
with grief. It fostered an "us against the world"
mentality that lives on today in our special bond with each
other. We relish "sister time" and never get enough
of each other.
Kathie married Tom Clare and gave birth to two sons Tom and Michael. Kathie
is the proud “Nana” of Natalie Katherine, Michael John, and Maeve Anne (Pat’s Godchild).
Pat married and had two daughters, Jen and Emilie. She divorced ten years later. Then she married Nick Casiello. Aside from gaining a perfect husband (in her opinion) she also gained a son, Brian. Pat and Nick live in the western suburbs of Chicago.
