Lynn Henriksen, aka The Story Woman, discovered a profound way to keep our mothers’ spirits alive after she witnessed Alzheimer’s disease ravage her mother’s mind. For over a decade, she has helped hundreds of daughters and sons capture in brief memoirs the memories and feelings they never thought they could record. She coined the term Mother Memoir and developed The Story Woman method to demystify writing memoir and provide unique views and food-for-thought for writers of any level to create true and telling tales. Her new book, TellTale Souls: The Story Woman Method to Write  the Mother Memoir is slated to be published Summer 2012.

            Lynn is a member of the California Writers Club and the President of the San Francisco Chapter of the Women’s National Book Association. She teaches classes, workshops, and gives Story Salon presentations around the country. She lives with her husband in Marin County, California.
