Dr. Lynn Gardner is a psychologist and professor. During a ten-year period, while teaching at Northern Arizona University, she began studying Buddhism. She augmented her studies of the theory and practice of Buddhism with journeys to Bhutan, India, Tibet, and China. The people she met there helped her find the true spirit of Buddhism and begin a new chapter of her life that is reflected in Dharmabound.

Dr. Gardner now resides near Atlanta, Georgia where she writes and continues her studies with her teachers and mentors.
