Chris Lynch Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Look for humor, find life. Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. Monstrously unfair question. Answer would change daily. Right now: Jessica by the Allman Brothers; One Week by Barenaked Ladies; No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen; Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez; Promised Land by Chuck Berry Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. Certain swear words. Intellectually childish and lazy on my part. Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. Fettucini Alfredo, laced with spinach and smoked salmon, and absolutely bombarded with garlic. Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing? A. Tough one. An evening of theatre and a restaurant is a pretty fine occupation. Learn more about Chris Lynch
