Author:
Lynsey Patterson grew up in beautiful Ballymena in Northern Ireland, the birthplace of many notable writers and artists. Like many children of her time, she found solace in the local library. Her love of writing led her to create portfolios of poetry and fiction, as well as numerous non-fiction articles published in magazines. Lynsey’s first children’s book, Ginger’s Courage, was inspired by her four adopted “fur babies,” each with different levels of trauma and disability. Ginger’s Courage, based on true events, is due to be released later this year. Lynsey’s background is in education, with a passion for wellbeing and counselling. She has lived in the Northern Territory for the past 16 years and is now writing her second children’s book, a sequel to Ginger’s Courage.
