Quotations:
"I write above all to tell stories, as compellingly and vividly as I can. For me, women’s suspense is an active, heroic genre, with a lot of scope. It allows me to involve realistic, fallible characters in situations where big issues are at stake."
"In all my writing, I try to build an intricate construction of taut plotting and natural behaviour, with even very minor elements of story and character contributing to the thrust of the book. This leads to a lot of rewriting as threads are picked up and woven in, and I also have to be willing to cut passages to maintain pace. Using a computer leaves me no excuse to avoid either."
Lindsay Townsend has been a member of the Society of Authors and Romantic Novelists Association.
Lindsay Townsend married Alan Quicke, a librarian and writer, on May 19, 1984. They live in Yorkshire, in the north of England, United Kingdom.
