About Autumn Mckinley
Hi there, friend! I’m so excited you’ve found your way to this little corner of the internet where imagination blooms, sandcastles stand tall, and kindness always wins.
Welcome to The Adventures of Princess Lily and Blossom — a series close to my heart, created to bring joy, friendship, and life lessons to kids and families everywhere. But before we dive into magical recess tales and puppy-powered playdates, I want to share a little bit of my own story with you.
Why I Created This Series
Growing up, I loved storytelling — from bedtime fairy tales to making up my own dramatic puppet shows (complete with costume changes). But it’s not until I faced some grown-up challenges that I truly leaned into writing as a place of freedom and healing. In the middle of life’s chaos, the character of Princess Lily came to me — curious, kind, and creative — and her best friend Blossom was always by her side.
Lily is everything I believe we need more of in this world: courage, compassion, and curiosity. She sees the good in people. She stands up for what’s right. She makes room for others — even when it’s not easy. And Blossom? Well, Blossom reminds us that the greatest friendships are built on unconditional love and shared adventures.
