Lin and her son, Ben have recently recorded three CDs for Piper, all of Lin's music which Ben has orchestrated. They are PENNY THE RAINDROP and THE TOY BOX both performances and backing tracks to go with the respective music books - and a children's story version of PENNY THE RAINDROP with a performance of THE TOY BOX too as a separate CD. Lin's music has been published by Piper Publications since 1987 when ALONG CAME MAN was published. This continues to be a favourite and its environmental message remains ever relevant. Since then, several other dramatic cantatas - STARSHIP 92, SPARROWHAWK, SONG OF THE EARTH, FOOTPRINTS, TOM HICKATHRIFT - and song books, Spooky Songs, Them & Us, Serendipity Solos and The Tree of Light have been published to the delight of her large following.
