After forays into journalism and astrology, and a failed attempt at joining the circus, Lindy taught English in South Africa. She emigrated to Vancouver in 1997, and spent the next twelve years playing with fairydust and teaching ballet. When her delayed writing aspirations exploded in a full-fledged crisis, her husband bought her a laptop and sent her to Vegas. Nine months later her Vegas baby was born. It Never Stays in Vegas brought the most fantastic people into her life. And for a while, things went swimmingly. Then perimenopause hit, and a foray into the glittery world of burlesque ensued. As Luna Blue, she performed professionally for a year - until her husband discovered her secret. He was Very Disappointed. So she bought a purple backpack called Petunia and set off across northern Spain. With a swollen ankle and blistered toes, she trudged the holy soil of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, in search of God, forgiveness, and herself. This resulted in her second book, a memoir, The Common Wife. And while Luna Blue no longer dances onstage, Lindy still occasionally pirouettes through the house in tutu and sparkly wings.
