Johanna Lindsey
Johanna Lindsey (1952-2019) was an American novelist of historical romance. She was the daughter of a U.S. Army soldier that was stationed in Germany, where she was born (although as an army brat, she wouldn’t stay long and moved around frequently). While still in school, Johanna married young and became a housewife. The spare time gave Johanna the opportunity to write her first novel, Captive Bride , on a whim. Her novels have been set during the Middle Ages, the Regency, the Old West and the Viking era. Her female characters are feisty and strong-willed heroines, whereas her male characters are self-reliant, powerful and sexual alpha males. Now a prolific author, she is best known for her Malory Family series, which is set during the Regency era.
