Lynne Garner has lived on the Essex/Hertfordshire border for the last twenty years. She shares her life with her husband Jon, their Belgium Sheppard/Doberman cross puppy Tasha (who now rules both their lives), and a varying number of hedgehogs (she run a hedgehog rescue service from a shed at the end of the garden - that's where the original idea for A Book For Bramble came from).

Her time is juggled between family life, teaching at a local college (design and sewing), caring for sick/injured and orphaned hedgehogs and writing. She loves the countryside and will often take long walks with the dog with camera in hand, wildlife photography being one of my passions.
