Author Archives: Lyndi

Lyndi Alexander dreamed for many years of being a spaceship captain, but settled instead for inspired excursions into fictional places with fascinating companions from her imagination that she likes to share with others. She has been a published writer for over thirty years, including seven years as a reporter and editor at a newspaper
in Homestead, Florida. Her list of publications is eclectic, from science
fiction to romance to horror, from tech reporting to television reviews.
Lyndi is married to an absent-minded computer geek. Together, they have a dozen computers, seven children and a full house in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Even though Mountjoy has [...]
