Lindsay Petersen is a native of Leeds, Alabama, where she grew up feeling she had been born a century too late - and likely even in the wrong Leeds.

She's lived all over the world, but most enjoyed Paris, where she studied the French allure of l'amour, and Delhi where she won a coveted first in her studies of the Kama Sutra, excelling especially in her lab work.

She lives and travels with her husband, who calls himself "the luckiest man in the world." Lindsay Petersen agrees with him.
