LINDSAY LONGFORD is the award-winning, best-selling author of 17 romance and romantic suspense novels for Silhouette books and a novella for Berkley/Putnam Penguin.
A former high school English teacher with an M.A. in English Lit, she began writing romance because she believed in the power of love to lift the human spirit and to make the world a better place. And because everyone can use a happy ending, even if it's only in fiction and temporary!
Her books have been nominated several times for the RITA, the prestigious award given by The Romance Writers of America to recognize writing in the genre each year. She received a RITA for Annie and the Wise Men.
Romantic Times Magazine has recognized her books with several Reviewer's Choice nominations and awards, with nominations for Career Achievement in Series Romance and W.I.S.H. awards for several of her heroes.
On a personal level, she is owned by three cats, all of whom appear in one guise or another in her books. She is The FUN! Mom to her adult son now living in Japan, who has become quite bossy in instructing her how to navigate, how to drive, and how to run her life. But, blessing of blessings, he is also a friend who introduces her to funky music, great books, and off beat entertainments.
Longford’s best quality, her stubbornness and her love of analyzing–anything!–are also, so her friends claim, her worst qualities. But they love her for and in spite of them. She considers her life enriched by the people she’s met and learned from in the writing industry.
A frequent speaker at conferences and writers' groups, Longford delights in sharing her love of books and a good story--and the work involved in making characters come alive on the page.
