Johanna Lindsey

Johanna Lindsey was born on March 10, 1952 in Germany, where her father was stationed with the U.S. Army. Being part of a military family, the family moved around quite a bit. After her father’s death in 1964, Johanna and her mother moved to Hawaii, which is where her father had wanted to retire. Her first book, Captive Bride, was written on a whim. The book was published and she has gone on to write over 40 more novels. Every one of her books has appeared on the bestseller lists. Several have reached number one.

Lindsey is well known for creating spunky heroines who become entangled with Alpha-male heros. Her historical romances are loved by many, making her one of the most popular American writers of the genre.

She met her husband, Ralph Lindsey, in 1970. They married and had three children. After his death, she moved to Maine.
