Constance Lynn has been writing every day—keeping a journal, writing poems, thesis papers, feature stories, newsletters, book reviews, personal essays—and occasionally getting published, for over four decades. She did all that writing in spare moments between working at a day job or two. The call to write grew louder over the years, until at the age of 62 she decided it was time to listen. Because she couldn’t afford to retire in her own country, she retired to Costa Rica. Her repurposed life includes volunteering in the community (teaching and gardening), enjoying time in the jungle or the ocean every day, and writing.

In 2020 she published her first creative nonfiction book. Love Culture: A Memoir of Costa Rica, is available on Amazon Kindle. Currently she is working on revisions of two more books and an essay collection. Visit her website: theuntitledlife.com.

This is me just after retiring in Costa Rica in 2019
