Lin Treadgold returned to the UK in 2015, following a 15-year stay in the Netherlands. To support her husband's career as a scientist, she resigned from her self-employment training driving instructors. Now retired and living in Devon, they share their home with their Jack Russell terrier, Dylan, while the rest of her family pursue careers. Since writing her first book in 2012, Goodbye Henrietta Street, nominated for the RNA Joan Hessayon Award, Lin has spent her time writing two more novels. The Tanglewood Affair is her second book, published in 2018. The Trail to Freedom, her third novel, although a work of fiction, powerfully evokes her father's WWII Prisoner of War experience through his letters. Lin is the group organiser for the Romantic Novelists’ Association, Exeter Chapter, and enjoys art and wildlife. Years of global sailing adventures in her youth gave her the experience to draw on for her novels.
