Martha Lindsay lives in California with her two cats, two dogs, one horse, two daughters and a wonderful husband. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Santa Clara University. After a lifetime of riding horses, she has hung up her spurs to write about the old west with its wide-open spaces and the people who tamed it. Her husband claims her animals are spoiled, but Martha knows she is just a well-trained caretaker. Gone are the days, where Martha would ride a horse, a camel, or an elephant. Now, she enjoys having her animals around her as she writes.
