About Jocelyn Lindsay
The woman
behind the trouble.
I give grown women magic. They bring their own baggage.
I’m Jocelyn Lindsay. I write The Hellgate Chronicles, where saving the world doesn’t get you out of dealing with your life.
Old enough
to know better.
Still doing it.
I like my heroines over forty, with complicated friendships and a past they can’t explain in one revealing conversation. Women who’ve already done the hard thing. Paid for it. Tried to move on.
Meg Walker thought she was done saving the world. I had other plans. She’s taking it about as well as you’d expect.
These are urban fantasy books about coming home, choosing your people, and finding out what you’re willing to do for them. There’s magic. There are consequences. Occasionally, someone makes a good decision. We try not to let that slow things down.
Blame
Bellingham.
Bellingham, Washington. Rain, mountains, water. A perfectly reasonable place to live. Then I learned about the old coal mines beneath the streets.
People walking their dogs and buying groceries, with forgotten tunnels under their feet. I kept wondering what else might be down there. Eventually, that became a book.
The real place matters to me. I want you to finish Reunion, come to Bellingham, and stand where Meg stood. Looking at the pavement a little differently is entirely your business.
When I’m not digging into local history, I’m building character playlists or in the garden, talking plot with the crows. They have opinions.
Her hometown called. She should have let it go to voicemail.
The Hellgate Chronicles
Start with Reunion. Meg is forty-two, her comatose best friend is calling her psychically, and someone wants to reopen the Hellgate. Going home was always going to be awkward.
