Lyndal Hennell grew up in Melbourne, Victoria. At high school, her friends were nicknamed ‘the young doctors’ because their escapades were like a soapie drama.

Lyndal currently lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. She loves cats, drinking hot chocolate and walking on the beach.

When she is not writing, Lyndal works as a registered psychologist, providing counselling support to young adults.

Flying Close to the Sun is her first novel.
