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 online or by order at your favorite bookstore.

Since 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. Kathie and Tom still live in her hometown in New Jersey.

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. Lillian Patricia is Pat’s first grandchild. Pat and Nick live in the western suburbs of Chicago.
