Johanna Lindsey (born 1952 in Germany) is one of the most popular writers of Historical Romances worldwide. All of her books reached the New York Times bestsellerlist, many even made #1.

[edit] Life and Work

Johanna Lindsey was born in Germany, where her father, a soldier in the U.S. Army, was stationed. The family moved about a great deal when she was youn, and finally settled in Hawaii in 1964 [1]. Despite her popularity, very few personal facts about her are known. She is known to be married with three children, and is now a grandmother. Older book jackets listed Lindsey as living in Hawaii, but more recent jackets claim she lives in Maine (or generically, in New England) now.

Lindsey wrote her first book, Captive Bride in 1977 "on a whim." [2]. The book was a success, as have been the 30+ novels which followed. By 2006, over 58 Million copies of her books have been sold worldwide, with translations appearing in 12 languages. Lindsey's books span the various eras of history, including books set in the Middle Ages, Regency England, the American "Old West," and the Viking era. She has even written a few futuristic romances. By far the most popular among her books are the stories about the Malory Family.
