    Elisabeth Lynton

    Elisabeth Lynton lives with her, long-suffering, but encouraging, husband Scott. She is the mother of four beautiful, but exasperating, children and granny (yes, very old and very cranky) to the gorgeous girls Abbegayle and Alexandria. After completing a Diploma of Professional Writing for Children, Elisabeth gained enough confidence to share her work with more than just family.
