Lystra Rose

Lystra Rose, a descendant of the Guugu
Yimithirr, Birri Gubba, Erub and Scottish
nations, is an award-winning writer and editor
who lives in a land where the rainforest meets
the sea . . . Yugambeh-speaking Country (Gold
Coast), Australia. When she's not catching
waves with her husband and their two groms,
Lystra is editing Surfing Life magazine and
is the executive producer of Surfing Life TV
(globally broadcasted on Fuel TV). She is the
first female editor-in-chief of a mainstream
surf magazine in the world. Surfing is Lystra's
daily reminder to 'let fear be your friend, not
your foe, and use it to do the things you love
or were meant to do'. It's also her creativity
generator.
The Upwelling is Lystra's debut novel.
