Lindsey Brookes is thrilled to be a fledgling Ditzy Chix. And someday, when she gets the call, she hopes to be as successful in the publishing world as the real Chix have been. Lindsey's love of reading began in elementary school with Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. But her love of romance began at the age of fourteen when she read her first historical novel, a bodice ripper. She was hooked. She's a member of RWA, co-editor of Market & Industry for eNotes, co-moderator Cata-Romance.

She lives in Ohio with her husband, two daughters, two cats, and a dog. When she's not writing, she's usually shopping.
