Lindsey, the Coach
For over a decade, authors have asked how I craft immersive worlds, relatable characters, and navigate the ever-changing publishing industry. After writing 30 books and learning countless hard lessons, I created The Dauntless Author to share my knowledge. What started as a hidden dream on a floppy disk became a published reality during the "Golden Age" of indie publishing. Now, I'm here to provide you with curated resources, expert advice, and my proven storytelling process to help you quiet the noise and achieve your author dreams.

Lindsey, the author
Hi! I'm Lindsey Pogue, a genre-bending fiction author, best known for my soul-stirring survival series, the Savage North Chronicles, and my historically-infused dystopias in the Forgotten World. With a master's in history and a passion for romance, my adventures weave together facts, fantasy, and epic love stories that push boundaries.
When I'm not writing full-time or coaching, I'm a world-traveler and cowgirl at heart. I love history, tacos, and gin lemonades. Sunsets feed my soul, rain calms my spirit, and everyday heroes inspire my tales. I've been writing stories of love, friendship, history, and adventure since high school. You can also catch me co-hosting the Grumpily Ever After Podcast with my leading man.
