Steve Lindahl

The Fish Pond Legacy is Steve Lindahl's ninth novel. His first three: Motherless Soul, White Horse Regressions, and Hopatcong Vision Quest are historical fiction stories wrapped in modern mysteries. In these books the characters must look into their past life memories to find clues concerning crimes in the present.

His fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth books, Under a Warped Cross, Living in a Star’s Light, Chasing Margie, Woodstock to St. Joseph’s and Ginger’s Shoes are also historical novels, but without the regression twist. Under a Warped Cross is set in the tenth century, in Scandinavia, Ireland, and Britannia. Living in a Star’s Light follows the life of Lotta Crabtree, a nineteenth century actress who achieved great fame and wealth. Chasing Margie is the story of a missing child and a search that goes on for decades with a DNA twist many years later. In his seventh novel, Woodstock to St. Joseph's, Gregory and his adult daughter, Corinne, are climbing the steps of Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, praying for a miracle cure for his terminal cancer. While they pray their lives flash by, from the 1969 Woodstock Festival, where Gregory falls in love, to daily life in a Hudson Valley commune. Ginger’s Shoes, his eighth novel, is a bloodless mystery set in motion by a deathbed wish.

Steve’s short fiction has appeared in Space and Time, The Alaska Quarterly, The Wisconsin Review, Eclipse, Ellipsis and Red Wheelbarrow.

Chasing Margie, Ginger’s Shoes, and The Fish Pond Legacy make up what Steve calls his Lake Hopatcong Island Trilogy. Chasing Margie is set on Raccoon Island, Ginger’s Shoes is set on Halsey Island, and The Fish Pond Legacy is set on Bertrand Island.
