About The Author

Lindsey Cole

Lindsey Cole is a storyteller, writer, and speaker whose curiosity rarely lets an idea stay small for long. She has written and illustrated the children’s books The Mermaid and the Cow and The Mermaid, the Otter and the Big Poo, inspired by her mermaid adventure swims campaigning for cleaner rivers. Swimming with Strangers is her first book for adults. Lindsey lives in Bristol, where she coaches outdoor swimming, stuffs her pockets with biscuits to flirt with dogs, and is occasionally spotted in a gold sequin catsuit after performing her mermaid kids’ shows, or heading to a day rave. That’s why she’s still in Bristol. Everything goes.
