Lyndi Allison

As a tween, Lyndi walked miles to borrow books from the bookmobile and found quiet places to read them. Now she writes stories for young readers and adults and helps other writers with their writing projects.

A retired high school teacher and community youth volunteer, Lyndi moved with her husband to Panama where she hosts writing workshops and retreats in nature and at Tranquilo Retreat. Her ideas often come to her as she walks the beach and hikes in the mountains.

While stargazing around a campfire, many children and teens shared the grief they carried. Lyndi was struck by how challenging it is to help youth who grieve and was inspired to write The Summer Triangle Trilogy and The Winter Hexagon Trilogy.
