Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Jeff Lindsay, the pen name of Jeffry P. Freundlich, grew up in Florida and graduated from Middlebury College in 1975 before taking a notably circuitous path into literary fame. Long before he was known for crime fiction, he worked across performance, media, and teaching, spending time as a musician in the Los Angeles club scene, an employee of Steve Allen, a story analyst and script doctor, a screenwriter, a playwright, and a college-level writing instructor. He also collaborated on film and television projects with his wife, Hilary Hemingway, building a career that mixed stagecraft, comic timing, and narrative craft well before his breakthrough as a novelist.
