Lindsey Pogue is an adventure and romance author, whose post-apocalyptic series include the superhuman survival saga, Savage North Chronicles, the dystopian, weather-ravaged Forgotten Lands, and the virus-riddled world of The Ending.

Lindsey is a dyslexic, taco loving nature girl who enjoys sunsets, bonfires, and a nice cold gin lemonade on a warm summer night. She wrote her first story about birds in 3rd grade, completed her first new adult manuscript in high school, and has been writing tales of love and friendship, history and adventure ever since. When she's not plotting her next epic storyline, or dreaming up new, brooding characters, she's wrapped in blankets watching monster flicks with her own leading man. Lindsey and her husband live in Northern California with their rescue cat, Beast.
