Lindsay Hindman Author Page

Hi! I'm Lindsay and I'm an author! I'm a mom of four and I've lived in San Diego, Kansas City, and here in Siouxland in the US, plus a year in the French countryside as a kid. Now, I'm a happily married mom of four and I love pouring all my fun experiences into books that will hopefully help other families make lovely memories together too. So far I've only published non-fiction travel books, but I have some really exciting non-fiction projects in the works as well. 
You can visit my "about me" page for more information on me as a person and blogger, or read on for more information about my books! Thanks for being here!

Coming Summer 2024: Surprising I-29: A guide to great little places and local lore along one of America's underappreciated highways

I'll have lots more info soon, but I'm excited to announced that I'm publishing a brand-new travel guide that I believe to be the first ever guide to the I-29 corridor. It's full of fun finds within 29 miles of Interstate 29, from Kansas City to North Dakota near the Canadian border, and I think you'll love finding new places to stop and stories to tell next time you drive on I-29. Check back soon for more!

This was my first book, published by Reedy Press, and officially released September 15th, 2020! 

Reedy's 100 Things series turns to local writers in dozens of cities around the nation to find out what locals view as the must-see places to eat, shop, and play in their area, and I'm so excited to have written the Siouxland edition. It will be most useful as a guidebook to visitors and new residents to our area, but I hope even long-time Siouxland residents will find new corners of Siouxland to Explore.

Children's Books

I am currently querying agents and publishers for my first children's book! I'm working on a picture book as well as a (probably) middle grade novel. I'm super excited about both and can't wait to post more about these projects as they become reality.
