Hello.

I'm Lynne Collier. I write mostly poetry and short stories. Thanks for stopping by.

I was born in West Yorkshire, England, so occasionally, you may notice a slight accent in my posts.

I came to Canada at 14 with my parents, and after a few trips back to England and back again, my home is now in southern Ontario, in a place we call The White Rose Shire.

My writing career started in 2010 with a gardening column in a web magazine. From there, friends and colleagues encouraged me to write my memoir about raising a child with autism. It became my best-selling book. In it, I give a candid look at my son's journey from preschool to adulthood and how he's doing now as an adult in "Raising Benjamin Frog." I found that I love to write, so I just kept going.

In 2022, I published a short poetry book which also featured art by my granddaughter, Kara (then in her last year of high school). I hope to collaberate with her on more poetry books in the future! You can find the poetry book at "Poetry & Prose from White Rose Shire."

I've also published a Christian suspense novel, "Abundant Life," about lies and deception in a small-town church and "Warag," a middle-grade coming-of-age fantasy novella. You can find all my published books on my Amazon Author page.

While writing my novels, I also opened an Etsy shop at WhiteRoseWriters.

I write for several online publications through Medium. My poems and articles are often personal stories of my life with God and my gardens, frequently inlaid with a Yorkshire sense of humour. My life quote is - "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." (Etienne Grellet)

Blessings,

~ Lynne
