VJ Books Presents Author Lyndsay Faye!
 Lyndsay Faye was born in California and grew up in Longview, Washington. Her childhood was a happy one filled with little adventures with her brother and a familial love of reading. As a child she loved classics such as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, and, especially, Sherlock Holmes stories.
Faye graduated from Notre Dame de Namur University with a dual degree in English and Performance and then began working as a professional actor in the Bay Area. Several years later, she and her husband decided to move to Manhattan, where she could try to take her acting career to the next level. She found herself with a lot of free time on her hands after the restaurant where she worked as a day-job was demolished, and this combined with serious disappointment with Sherlock-Holmes-meets-Jack-the-Ripper novel she had been reading led her to pen her own. Her resultant first novel, Dust and Shadow, was published in 2009.
Since then, Faye has allowed writing to take over full time. She has continued writing meticulously researched historical fiction and mysteries, including her Timothy Wilde series. Her worked has earned her the status of international bestseller, as well as an Edgar nomination.
Faye and her husband, Gabriel, live just north of Harlem with their two cats.
