Lindsey is the youngest of the family--the fifth child--and youngest children like to think that they have the most sensitive souls. She has enjoyed the fantasy genre since her childhood; it was her love of a full, mysterious, majestic world that led her to get an MA in Medieval Welsh history and then a PhD in Ancient History. During her academic career she has written and presented several scholarly papers, but her heart has always been with creative writing: C.S. Lewis is her literary hero because he had a gift of helping readers understand and enjoy the most complex ideas. Her website, www.lindseyscholl.com, is dedicated to exploring truth in a colorful and sometimes humorous way. She is married to Dr. John Scholl, a medieval historian and a proud Texan. Together they have eleven nieces and nephews who make a great test audience for her stories.
