About the Author


Lily Ann Fenwyn is a storyteller who writes for readers of all ages‭, ‬from young children discovering the magic of kindness to teens navigating courage‭, ‬identity‭, ‬and becoming who they are meant to be‭.‬

Before writing stories‭, ‬Lily Ann served in the United States Marine Corps and later spent many years in technology in the corporate world‭. ‬These experiences shaped her deep respect for courage‭, ‬resilience‭, ‬and protecting what truly matters‭. ‬While her young adult (YA) novels‭ ‬explore strength and survival in bold and complex ways‭, ‬her children's books are where gentleness leads‭, ‬and where courage often looks like patience and compassion‭.‬

The‭ ‬Adventures on Sparkly Pond‭‬‭ series is inspired by a real place in Virginia‭, ‬USA‭, ‬where Lily Ann has spent countless hours watching birds and animals‭, ‬listening to the wind across the meadow‭, ‬and imagining the stories unfolding just beneath the surface‭, ‬in the trees‭, ‬and on the edges‭ ‬of the pond‭. ‬Many of the characters in the Sparkly Pond books are inspired by real animals who lived‭, ‬wandered‭, ‬or visited Sparkly Pond‭, ‬each leaving their own mark on its quiet magic‭.‬

Lily Ann writes with the belief that kindness is powerful‭, ‬empathy is learned through stories‭, ‬and that even in a world that can‭ ‬be loud and hard‭, ‬there are still places full of wonder‭, ‬where small lights shine brightly‭, ‬and everyone carries a light worth‭ ‬sharing‭.‬
