It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of long term ABCtales member Lisa Hinsley. She was a wonderful writer and a fine member of our community - giving freely of her time and opinions in order to help hundreds of others.

Lisa was a fine writer with a number of published books. Her most famous, Plague, is strongly recommended to you. She fought cancer with bravery and stoicisim for three years. Lisa leaves a husband and three children and our thoughts go out to them.

I too first 'met' Lisa/Ginger, on UKA, my thoughts at present with her family.

Rest in peace, dear Lisa, and I think that you, as a writer, should have the last word,

'Life seems random ' - it picks and chooses who gets to stick around a little longer in this amazing world we have...Forget the problems, wear a smile, and remember to live'.

How very sad. Lisa/Ginger was for me only a name on the pages of ABC and UKAuthors until I met her at the Nottingham reading. She was indeed a fine writer. Her personality and creativity will be greatly missed.

I didn't get to meet Lisa and only knew her for a little while on abc and I'm really sad about that; she was lovely. My thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

Nothing wrong with that at all, Pretty Rose.  For in Lisa's own words of advice to us all,  'Forget the problems, wear a smile, and remember to live'.

Lisa's spirit lives on in those, like me, who saw her fight against the most wicked illness of all. Reading her posts on FB and here and seeing her smiling throughout brought about many different responses from me; that I should do more with my life, that I should help others more, that life's amazing, that life's so cruel, but the thought that always trumped others was that Lisa's incredible strength and grace would never be forgotten. I didn't get to meet her but we'd post to each other and I learnt she lived where I grew up on the Wirral and she'd tell me she was going for a walk on the prom. 

A truly gracious person who saw the bright side every day and touched so many lives.

She gave me a lot of advice about publishing and as she wrote a lot of the same genre as me she really inspired me. Now I'm about to publish my second novel  so she's really encouraged me.
