In memory of Wallace Lynch, a lifelong Argyle resident, who was a devout Christian and a dear friend, I am putting a free copy of my book, The Place is Argyle: Historical Facts and Recollections on my website to anyone who wants to download it or print it.

Currently, Lynn Sheffield Simmons writes a Friday newspaper column, “The Place is Argyle,” for the Denton Record-Chronicle.
"When I am not traveling, writing a newspaper column or working on a project for one of the three charitable organizations I started over a span of the last twelve years-the North Texas Book Festival, Inc., Argyle Little Free Libraries, and the Argyle Community Civic League, Inc., I am promoting my new mystery in the 'Bo' Series, Bo and the Ghosts of Tumbleweed Ranch.”
Mrs. Simmons has been a free lance writer throughout her life and taught "Writing for Children" at the University of North Texas Continuing Education Department for many years.
Lynn Sheffield Simmons’ personal papers, photographs, college essays, book manuscripts, and documentations tracing her years of volunteer work and writing are archived in the Lynn Sheffield Simmons Collection at Texas Woman’s University Library in the Woman’s Collection. Since 1932 the library has collected letters, diaries, and photographs of Denton area women who serve as role models.
She has been the featured speaker at The Craft of Writing conference held on the campus of the University of North Texas, the High Plains Book Festival in Amarillo, Texas, Raising a Reader Book Fair in Lubbock, Texas, the Midland Reading Council in Midland, Texas, and the Odessa Book Festival in Odessa, Texas. She is the founder and past president of the North Texas Book Festival, Inc. (www.ntbf.org) that provides grants to school libraries, public libraries and literacy programs in the North Texas area
