After years of living quite the roller coaster life and then missing her mother for nearly a year, fifteen-year-old Lucy Mackensie and her dad are again seeing the silver linings through the clouds. Mac loves teaching high school English and is also acting again with community theater groups. He even got a gig with a professional Shakespeare troupe! And Lucy is doing great in school, has an awesome best friend and possibly even has a secret admirer! Then then, for some reason, one by one, the good things in their life are starting to disappear . . . Born and raised in Minnesota, Lisa Maddock has enjoyed creative writing for as long as she can remember. Writing a children's book seemed a natural thing to do, as her young daughter Allison grew to love books more and more. Reading countless middle-grade stories with Allison, combined with watching antics of family guinea pigs, Maggie and Peanut, became the inspiration for her first book, "A Tale of Two Guinea Pigs", starring the squeaky, spunky stars, Teddy and Pip.There are now three Teddy and Pip stories. Check out The Bridezilla Who Stole Christmas and The Trouble With Max.Taking a detour from guinea pig antics, Lisa has recently completed a teen novel - for 12 to 18 year old girls - called Silver Linings.Lisa Maddock lives in Shakopee, Minnesota, which is a suburb of Minneapolis, with husband, Bill, and daughter Allison, who is now 14.
