Chickin’ Lickin’ was Lindsay Holliday’s first reading memory that started a life-long love for funny characters and good stories. Reading kept her company through boarding school and backpacking through-out Asia. She read War and Peace and Shantaram while solo trekking the Annapurna circuit in Nepal in flips flops! Her travels from England ended in Australia. Lindsay fell in love with the country and its people and determined to settle. Bills had to be paid and she pushed her writing to an enjoyable hobby while she pursued a fun and interesting career as a media & entertainment lawyer. Her legal career reached a high as the legal director for Yahoo! Europe, in London during the heady days of the internet explosion in the late 1990s. Determined to return to Sydney she left Yahoo! to volunteer and consult until 2014 when she had an epiphany. Writing was her true passion. Lindsay set to work in earnest to pursue her dream. A few draft manuscripts later, courses with the Faber Writing Academy; Writing NSW; and University of Sydney (which had to fit in with a young family) she finally wrote the first of the Danger series, Danger Versus the Ranger.

Lindsay has taken much of her inspiration from the world around her and that of her children. She had so much fun writing this first Danger story – she wrote the next four books. She doodled some drawings for a prototype book to entice children to read her first Danger book and get feedback. Kids liked the characters, the stories and, to her surprise, the illustrations too. COVID has been, in some ways, a positive for Lindsay as the frenetic pace of the modern family life slowed and a period of self-isolation gave her more time to concentrate on drawing over 250 illustrations and working out how to self-publish. She is committed to writing more Danger stories and other stories for children.
