About Lynette Creswell
Stories have always been part of my life. Although I was born in London, I grew up in Burnley, Lancashire, where my grandmother nurtured my love of books from an early age. She quickly discovered that handing me a story was the easiest way to keep me quiet, and before long I was creating adventures of my own. Like many children, I escaped into Enid Blyton’s magical worlds, never imagining that one day I would be writing books myself.
Today, I’m proud to write across several genres because I’ve never believed stories should be confined to a single box. Whether I’m exploring family secrets in psychological suspense, creating magical worlds filled with destiny and danger, or writing heart-warming adventures for children, every novel begins with the same question:
What if?
I’m the author of The Magic Trilogy, the psychological suspense novels Cracks in the Glass and Two Kinds of Truth, and the much-loved Primrose and Prickles children’s series, which follows two adventurous little hoglets whose stories celebrate friendship, kindness and helping others.
Alongside my novels, short story writing remains one of my greatest passions. My work has received recognition from the Society for Women Writers and Journalists (SWWJ), Hammond House Publishing, Leicester Writes, Scribble Magazine and Shooter Literary Magazine, among others. In 2026, I was delighted to sign with US literary agent Terrie Wolf of AKA Literary Management, an exciting new chapter in my writing journey.
When I’m not writing, you’ll often find me exploring Britain in our motorhome with my husband, discovering new places that frequently find their way into my stories. We share our home in Lincolnshire with our dachshund, Albi, while my grandchildren continue to remind me why imagination is such a wonderful gift.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope you’ve enjoyed learning a little about me and my books, and that you’ll discover a story you’ll love.

Lynette Creswell’s Website & Blog 
Yes, I think I know you well now! Lovely biography. AND I know just what you mean about your granddaughters. Eleanor (aged 8) and Toby (aged 5) are so dearly treasured. Unfortunately they live miles away – one of those tedious west-east journeys with Fen roads and blooming tractors, literally HOURS away! Always worth the time travelling though.
Thanks Joan for letting me know you like the bio. It’s so hard to know what to write without droning on. I’m relieved you enjoyed it and yes, definitely our grandchildren should be treasured. Sorry to hear yours are so far away and I do believe one of my sons is moving to Nottingham shortly so it will be a couple of hours drive away to see my eldest granddaughter (Chloe who’s five) from now on. Life is never easy! Lol
I like this, a lot. You’ve given me food for thought for updating mine. Cheers 🙂
Really pleased you liked it and if my attempt as inspired you that makes your comment all the more sweet. Thank you 🙂
I have never been able to write a bio like this one. I always put too much information. This has given me an idea to try again.
Hi Bonnie,
Thank you for dropping by and I am really pleased you liked my bio. I do think it is a difficult piece of writing to complete but if I have managed to give you an idea to help you to refine yours, well, that’s a bonus 🙂
Great bio…and loved your blog. Congrats on the movie! Exciting stuff!
Thank you Valerie for your lovely comment and I’m really pleased you liked my bio and my blog too that’s certainly a great start 🙂
I love your books! I am a big fan of you. I hope you keep writing more books.
