Lindsay S. Weisner, Psy.D, is a wife, mother, psychologist, writer, and (regretful) PTA volunteer. She received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and her Doctorate from Long Island University.

The dramatic plot involved time travel, Madonna, and Raggedy Ann. Since then, her writing has improved slightly, and in 2014 she won the Cosmpolitan Magazine Fiction Writing Contest. Her fiction is represented by Jessica Alvarez at BookEnds Literary Agency (www.bookendsliterary.com). Dr. Weisner owns and operates a successful private practice in Long Island, where she specializes in treating teenagers and adults with anxiety and relationship issues.
