Author bio

Lindsay Harrel grew up in Arizona and has been a book person for as long as she can remember. Long before publication, she was the kid making little homemade books out of stapled paper and filling them with stories.

She studied journalism, later earned a master's in English, and spent years in writing and editing jobs. Her resume has included curriculum editing for universities, medical and business writing, copywriting, and teaching college English online. That journalism training, especially the habit of writing tight, clearly stayed with her.

Fiction was not the first plan. During her master's program, an elective fiction class reminded her how much she loved inventing stories, and conversations with other would-be novelists pushed her to take the dream seriously. By 2011 she was pursuing publication in earnest, and One More Song to Sing later won the Genesis Contest before becoming her debut novel in 2016.

That slow build shows in her books.

In One More Song to Sing, she set a story of loss, forgiveness, and second chances against the Nashville music scene, pairing a fading country star with a younger singer chasing both a career and answers about her past. The novel set the tone for some of the things Harrel still does best: emotionally pressured relationships, women at turning points, and hope that feels earned instead of easy.

Her next novels widened the range without leaving that emotional core behind. The Heart Between Us follows twin sisters, a heart transplant, and a bucket list that turns into a reckoning with fear and resentment. The Secrets of Paper and Ink heads to Cornwall for a bookstore story that blends present-day hurt with a voice from the past. Later, The Joy of Falling takes two widows to New Zealand and lets physical endurance become part of the work of grief. When readers want something cozier, Harrel has that lane covered too. The Walker Beach books lean into small-town romance, while the Port Willis and Barefoot Sisterhood stories mix love, friendship, and healing in close-knit communities.

Hope matters to her.

So does the mess that comes before it. On her website, Harrel says writing can feel a bit like therapy, and that idea fits her fiction well. Her characters wrestle with self-doubt, loss, comparison, family strain, and the question of whether they are allowed to want something more from life. Even her lighter books usually carry real bruises under the banter and charm.

She also seems drawn to the places where women meet each other halfway. Sisters, friends, mothers and daughters, and women who are not related at all but end up carrying part of each other's load are everywhere in her work. Romance matters in these books, but it usually arrives alongside community, memory, and the hard work of starting over.

These days Harrel lives in Arizona with her husband and sons. She has also worked as an editor, including as Editorial Director of Sunrise Publishing, and writes clean romantic comedies under the pen name Kristin Canary. Away from the desk, she has said she enjoys Zumba, Jane Austen, and sour candy, which feels like a pretty good shorthand for the balance in her fiction, earnest, classic, and a little playful.
