Bio

Pennsylvania native Lindsay Faith Rech was born in Philadelphia and has lived in the quiet suburb of Holland since she was nine. Lindsay studied theater and writing at Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, graduating with honors just five months before tying the knot with her first love.

Secretly devoting time to a novel between the wedding and house-hunting, Lindsay found work as an assistant editor for a chain of local newsmagazines. She also wrote her own column for a weekly New Jersey paper. Her “secret novel,” LOSING IT, was eventually picked up by Red Dress Ink and released in October 2003. Her second novel, JOYRIDE, hit bookshelves one year later.

In the fall of 2010, Lindsay's long-awaited third novel, IT STARTED WITH A DARE, will be released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book marks her first foray into young adult fiction.

The 31-year-old author has been profiled in WHO’S WHO IN AMERICA, WHO’S WHO OF AMERICAN WOMEN, "Writer's Digest," CONTEMPORARY AUTHORS, and WHO’S WHO OF EMERGING LEADERS.

In addition to writing, Lindsay works as a proofreader for a nonprofit educational company. Married for nine years, she and her husband Scott welcomed their first child in 2009. They named her Jayla Rose.
