Hi, I’m Jill Lendahl, a contemporary women’s fiction author. Most mornings start with coffee, a blank page, and me trying to figure out what my characters are up to next. When I’m not writing, I’m busy being a mom to dogs, cats, and humans, along with being a daughter, sister, friend, and partner.

 

By day, I’m a Marketing Specialist creating content for architectural product brands. In my off-hours, you’ll usually find me on my yoga mat, out on a long walk with a podcast, or getting way too excited about a well-organized Pinterest board. I’m also a fan of good books, good wine, and a fun (sometimes challenging) Saturday on the golf course.

 

Right now, I’m deep into edits on my next novel and already drafting a new time-travel story set in Boston. If you want to follow along with the chaos and the progress, find me on social media or subscribe to my newsletter—I’d love to have you along.

 

5 Things About Me

1. My favorite scents are Coppertone sunscreen, plumeria, eucalyptus, cilantro, and basil.

2. I’ve visited France, Belgium, Holland, Mexico, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.

3. I once hung out with Gwyneth Paltrow in the small UCSB college town of Goleta in the early nineties, where she told me a joke about a man named Harold Dingaling.

4. My superpower is outsmarting my opponents at liars’ dice.

5. I’m an avid rock and shell collector, making every outing an adventure in search of unique treasures!
