One Indulgence

Lydia Gastrell

I live in sunny, sultry Florida where I spend most of my time hiding behind sunscreen lotion and an open laptop. I enjoy traveling and long car rides, though I'm sure I must be the only person on Earth who is happy when a flight is delayed, because it just means I have more time to read.

I began writing fan-fiction when I was a teenager, outraged that my beloved TV characters rarely got the ends I thought they deserved. With great encouragement from readers over the years, I eventually decided to turn my creative juices toward my own unique characters and stories. My love of history, romance, and seemingly hopeless situations has led me to genres I never would have expected and which I have come to love.
