Author Information:
My first two published books were written when I was ten and twelve (under my maiden name, Lindsay Brown). The Treasure of Dubarry Castle and The Secret of the Silver Lockets were 30,000-word adventure stories for ages 7-11. They sold well and were translated into several languages. My inspiration comes from many sources, but especially from my own experiences and from nature. My son is mad keen on wildlife, so this has also influenced my writing. And my husband’s family are originally from the Isle of Skye, which has inspired some stories. I also work part-time in a nursery, where ideas often spring up from the things children say and do! Mia’s Magic Uncle is inspired by my brother, Graeme. He is the kind of fun uncle that children love – playing games, making things, and doing magic tricks with my two children. He is in a wheelchair with MS, but this makes no difference to them, and I wanted my story to convey this! Most of all he is about fun and magic! As well as writing I enjoy illustrating, and have produced drawings for a couple of books.
