Lainey's Magical GardenWhen the sun goes down, the garden wakes up.
Lainey’s garden is no ordinary garden. All the animals living there, from chipmunks to chickadees, are her friends—but that’s not all!

These charming stories, delightfully illustrated with the author’s photographs, blend imagination and reality to create a homey yet magical world of friends. The friends have fun together, get into mischief, suffer disasters, console each other, and sometimes get annoyed. And just when you think you’ve met everybody, a visitor may appear through the magic gate . . . Lainey’s Magical Garden is a perfect read-aloud for children aged four and up. |

Book Reviews
As I got to know Lynda, I was most intrigued and impressed with her photographic works and her imagination that allowed her to begin the story Lainey's Magical Garden, Lynda is able to capture nature at its best within her photographs that truly do come alive.
I was thrilled to learn that Lynda was considering writing stories about the characters in Lainey's Magical Garden.
These wonderful unique fables, caught the interest of my grandchildren , ages 5 and 8 leaving them wanting more of Lainey's Magical Garden, and I must admit myself too!
Kind regards

About the Author
Lynda Mackay was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland. She loves to travel and over the years, has ventured throughout Europe, as well as many parts of America and the Caribbean islands.
This delightful author moved to Canada in 2007 and now calls Cambridge, Ontario her home. Lynda has fallen in love with writing and with the support and encouragement of her wonderful partner, has decided to pursue her passion as a quality writer of amazing fiction. She has one son, who currently lives with his wife and young son back in Scotland. Sadly, her father passed away in June of 2016, but not before he proudly witnessed first hand, his daughter’s debut novel.
‘Lainey’s Magical Garden’ was the first book penned by Ms. Mackay and was inspired by the many photographs of a friend’s garden, which is situated quite close to Lake Eugenia in Ontario. “It was just so beautiful, with the statues, bustling wildlife, along with the brilliant array of stunning plants and floral colour adorning the terrain. It was indeed magical and I truly felt that it was begging for someone to write its’ story, hence the title.”
Due to the astounding success of this first book, the author did not hesitate to incorporate more of the same glorious, ever-changing scenes of the colourful garden and those photographs, coupled with
her vivid, yet focused imagination and drive, brought about the author’s second novel, ‘Lainey’s Magical Garden, Where Honesty Rules’. It too, is carrying on the tradition of the Magical Garden series by continually drawing rave reviews from her legion of fans.
“So much can change in a beautiful garden from year to year and I felt it would have been almost impossible for me not to draw inspiration for further stories in the future.” The author says. In fact, with her audience growing each day and their desire to continually seek more from this enchanted realm, Lynda would like her fans to know that book # 3 is now in production. It will contain more of the vibrant photographs and topical stories her audience has come to appreciate and adore.
