I am Lynette Ferreira, bestselling author, and I also write stories as Rosaline Saul and Stephen Simpson.

I started telling stories from when I was a little girl with pigtails and no friends, always an empath and feeling a deep connection to the emotions of others. As the eldest of three children (and the only girl) in a family that moved nearly every year, books became my constant companions and my imagination my greatest asset. Each place I've lived has woven itself into the framework of the stories I tell.

In 2008, everything in my life converged in just the right way to enable me to sit down and write my first novel. What began as a heartfelt story for my eldest daughter, who was struggling with our international move, grew into an 80,000-word journey that unlocked my true passion.
