Lindy Cameron
Lindy writes about crime — both fiction and fact.
She introduced Kit O’Malley, PI, in Blood Guilt, first published in Australia in 1998. The second book in the series, Bleeding Hearts, won the Readers’ Vote in two of Australia’s most prestigious awards for crime writing: the Ned Kelly Awards 2001 and the Davitt Awards 2002. Both titles are available from Bywater Books and our new release, Thicker than Water, won the Readers’ Vote of the Davitt Awards, 2004.
Before becoming a popular author, Lindy worked as a journalist and book editor. Her first novel, Golden Relic, was an archaeological adventure published in 1998 in ten monthly installments on the Internet. It was commissioned by the Museum of Victoria, to promote the International Council of Museums conference held in Melbourne that year. And it may have made Lindy the first writer to earn money from the then fledgling internet. Certainly, Stephen King didn’t try for another couple of years — and he didn’t make much money when he did, either.
When not writing fiction, Lindy is a National Co-Convenor of Sisters in Crime Australia and has edited its magazine Stiletto for nearly 17 years. Recently she has also written and edited various anthologies of true crime. Making things up, though, is what she prefers, and she is currently at work on two novels. Watch this space!
She lives mostly happily on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula — on the southern coastline of Australia — with her long-time partner Michele and their menagerie of animals, both feline and canine!
