About Me

Here is my FAQ from Miami Book Fair, vid'ed by Our Mutual Friend Penny. Thanks!This is my official bio, which tells most of the lowdown on me.JEFF LINDSAY Although a full-time writer, Jeff Lindsay has worked as an actor, comic, director, MC, bouncer, teacher, singer, songwriter, composer, musician, sportscaster, dishwasher, cook, detective, gardener and sailing instructor. He has a BA in Literature and Writing from Middlebury College, and a double MFA in Theater Direction and Playwriting from Carnegie-Mellon University. He is also a graduate of Celebration Mime Clown School. In Hollywood he worked with Bill Hudnut's Comedy Workshop at ABC and Lembeck's Professional Comedy Workshop at Paramount and performed solo as a singer/guitarist extensively on the coffee house circuit and later with a series of bands in the L.A. club scene of the early 1980s. Lindsay has authored twenty-two plays – several of them musicals – which have been produced in New York, New Haven, Key West, Pittsburgh, London and California. He also wrote several TV sitcoms, and many feature films with his co-writer and wife Hilary Hemingway, which were set up at Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Fries Entertainment, and Republic Pictures. Jeff previously wrote TROPICAL DEPRESSION, a novel about a fishing guide who becomes a reluctant detective. He has also co-written Hunting With Hemingway (Riverhead 2000) with his wife, Hilary Hemingway. For 5 years he wrote "Fatherhood," a weekly column on parenting from the male perspective, which was run in five Florida newspapers. Lindsay was the Director of the International Hemingway Writers’ Conference. He is also a Founder of the International Hemingway Flats Fishing Tournament, Charter Member of the Sanibel Tarpon Fishing Club, and was a judge for the Hemingway First Novel Contest and Co-Director of the South West Florida Writer's Conference. Jeff also taught writing and literature at Florida Gulf Coast University, leading several classes to Cuba to study Hemingway, and was series host for Media Watch and Expressions on WGCU-TV, the local PBS station. He hosted a documentary, Hemingway In Cuba, which was seen nationally on PBS. At the 1997 Hayashi-ha Karate World Championships Jeff won the Silver Medal in the Masters Division, and that same year coached his daughter’s soccer team to a perfect season. In his spare time Jeff plays in Widlfire, Florida’s hottest band; he also fishes, cruises on his 36 foot trawler, cooks, and acts as a trampoline for his three daughters.
