Leigh Anne Lindsey
Biography
Leigh Anne Lindsey enjoys writing futuristic thrillers, suspense, sci-fi, fantasy, flash fiction and memoir. Leigh Anne has numerous flash fiction stories published in Zines and began writing short stories and poems at the age of 8. Her interest in these genres began at an early age because her mother was a voracious reader of them and shared that love with her five children.
Leigh Anne’s further interest in technology and science comes from 18 years in Silicon Valley where she wrote investment and marketing materials for international clients. For those clients, she developed strategic alliances, sales and raised investment funds that ranged into the millions. Her goal is to develop and coordinate writers' retreats along the way to becoming a successful novelist. The only thing holding her back or getting in the way is the chronic pain & fatigue from a permanent neurological dystrophy (RSD)that was brought about by a simple knee surgery in the fall of 2002.
In the works are a futuristic thriller “Deadly Deeds” (with opening chapters published online at Scribd, RedRoom & Smashwords), “Living Rumes of Loden” a sci-fi novella and several flash fiction pieces for approaching anthologies. Leigh Anne’s blog “The Science Behind the Science Fiction (LeighAnneLindsey.blogspot.com) focuses on the scientific research behind her futuristic writing and coming soon will be insight from authors in those fields.
She is a member of Redwood Writers - the largest branch out of 18 branches of the California Writers Club (redwoodwriters.org), the Marin Chapter of the CWC, the WNBA, San Francisco Chapter (Womens National Book Association wnba-sfchapter.org), ITW (International Thriller Writers thrillerwriters.org) & a former member of the Rough Writers of Tiburon. While on the air as a rock DJ in Aspen CO for KSPN-FM, she wrote & produced radio commercials. She got a liberal arts degree in photo-journalism from Colorado Mtn. College and the College of San Mateo and was a columnist and photo editor for the Colorado college paper. At the College of San Mateo, she operated the non-profit classical music radio station.
Activities & interests: Leigh Anne is licensed as a private pilot and scuba diver. She's a skier (water, downhill, cross-country), tennis player, mountain biker, ATV rider, and walks the trails of Northern CA. She has raised & trained horses, ridden in rodeos (barrels, keyhole & pole-bending - all at the ripe old age of 5), rounded up cattle & horses on the family ranch, and packed into the wilderness (on foot & horseback in the Aspen-Snowmass-Maroon Bells Wilderness.) She’s modeled on the runway and in print, was a rock-jock on an Aspen radio station and has been an actor on the stage. She’s been a Southern Baptist, a Jehovah's Witness, an atheist and now seeks her spiritual side through studying Celtic lore, Paganism & witchcraft – which she includes in her writing. She gardens to her heart’s content and lives with her Borzoi (Russian wolfhound) and three cats in West Sonoma County, CA.
Leigh Anne’s father, Jim T. Lindsey, is a former Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives (mid-50s) and mother Moja Yvonne was Co-Founder, CEO & Chairwoman of the Board of the savings and loan association she jointly operated with Jim (60s & 70s.)
