ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Jill Lendahl, and I’m the author of The Vineyard at Midnight, Under the Hanalei Moon, Dreaming of Annabelle, and Edith Pembroke's Ever After (preorder now!). Most days, I’m up early with a strong cup of coffee and a blank page, trying to figure out what will happen next—just like my characters.
Beyond writing, I'm a dog mom, cat mom, human mom, daughter, sister, friend, and girlfriend. I work as a Marketing Specialist, creating visual and written content to support multiple architectural product brands.
In my free time, I roll out my yoga mat for a moment of Zen, get overly excited about a well-organized Pinterest board, and enjoy long walks with a podcast. I love to read, sip wine, and spend a Saturday morning at the links.
Right now, I’m editing my next novel, Salt Hollow, which is set to release in March 2026, and I'm already five chapters into Before I Let You Go, book number six! If you’d like to stay in the loop, follow me on social media or subscribe to my newsletter. I’d love to have you along for the ride.
