A friend loaned me your book [While I Can Still Remember] to take over to Norfolk with me. Lyn, I thought it was simply charming! I loved it. I knew only that the island had been a penal colony and that the Bounty mutineers, or their descendants, had been moved from Pitcairn to N.I. Then I read your book, so learned a whole lot more! Lyn, I loved the whole concept: of the young sapling absorbing all the stories through his roots. An inspiration on your part!

Biography

Now, with three books to her name, Lyn Duclos is writing her fourth book. Once again, this won’t resemble the theme or style of her other books. Her readers will have noticed the vast difference between a family saga, historical fiction for children and, lastly, a love story. Each book showcases the Australian (including Norfolk Island) landscape, its culture and its people. For those of you who are Australian, you’ll feel instantly at home amongst the language, history and events that have shaped your world. For those across the oceans, you’ll learn about who and where we are.
The idea for the current book had been simmering in Lyn’s head for some time and now she's enjoying letting it loose. Hopefully the writing process will be shorter than the other books so that you’ll have it on your shelf before you know it! Well…let’s give her a bit of breathing space. In the meantime, feel free to get in touch, ask Lyn questions about anything to do with writing, her books and what makes it matter – to you and to her. Check out her books on Goodreads and browse and like her author Facebook page. She’d love to hear from you! |

While I Can Still RememberLone Pine, a 650 year-old Norfolk Island pine, stands on a limestone cliff on Norfolk Island. At the base of its trunk a sapling – Piali – clings to the cliff as fierce storms threaten to destroy it.
The island is waiting for Piali to grow strong enough to take over from Lone Pine, so the sapling’s survival is vital. The old tree has been the receptacle of the island’s stories and these must be passed on to its successor so that the species will remain intact. But Lone Pine’s memory is fading and time is running out. |
Shattered ReflectionsTaking us across the vast expanse of Australia and spanning four decades, Shattered Reflections tells of the power of true friendship and courageous women determined to overcome tragedy and deception.
And it tells of the obsessive love of a man driven to any lengths to protect his family. But how much is he willing to sacrifice to escape from a past that won’t let go? |
FugueFugue is a love story that takes the reader through the nightmares and emotions of a young woman who seems to have everything but who, in fact, has nothing.
Her childhood was one of rejection and loneliness, and walls that allow nothing or no one else in surround her adult life. Her icy façade is impenetrable until she meets a musician who disturbs the cobwebs of the past. Finally she is forced to face her demons and allow love to soften her pain. |
