Lindsay Maple

Lindsay Maple is the author of (Not) Your Basic Love Story. She was born and raised in the prairie provinces of Canada. She studied psychology for three years at the University of Calgary before realizing it wasn't for her, cutting her losses, and moving to British Columbia. It was there she built her family, complete with a loving husband, two busy little boys, and a giant tortoise named Doug. Lindsay manages a local hot yoga and fitness studio while teaching several classes per week, including goat yoga. When not inundated with laundry, she can be found hiking in the old growth forests, drinking wine with Doug in the backyard, or baking her famous chocolate-chip banana muffins. For Lindsay, writing has always been a cathartic release, and now it serves as her best source of self-care.
