Author Information

From the day her father took Lyn to her first ballet at the age of six, her life was neither normal nor prosaic again. It was like taking Alice to see Wonderland. Ballet came to define who Lyn was and who she was to become. A renowned ballet critic of exceptional insight and ability in several languages, covering two continents, she was also controversial. Lyn championed creativity and artistic talent over pettiness, internal politics, and even notoriety, and never hesitated to call out those who didn't do the same. Her writings were feared by some and loved by many.
