🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Michael Lindley
Inspiration for both of these stories came from his summers spent at his family’s boatyard and marina, and his fascination for the “summer people” that brought their classic yachts out to the lake every year. His family spent many years out on the northern Gulf Coast of Florida close to Grayton Beach, which would become the inspiration for “Bend to the Tempest”, his third novel, which is set during the 1920s. Bootleggers, moonshiners, killer hurricanes, and dangerous women all make for an exciting and suspenseful look at such an intriguing place and time. Michael has always been drawn to stories that are built around a mix of present and past, allowing him to know a place and the people that live there both in a compelling historical context, as well as in present day.
