Hailey Lind

Hailey Lind is the pen name for two writing sisters Carolyn and Juliet Blackwell that write thriller and mystery fiction. Juliet is an artist who lives in Oakland California while her sister is a historian from Norfolk, Virginia. They used the name Hailey Lind since they needed to write a novel that has a single voice. It means that their audience never knows that the novels have been written by two authors. Nonetheless, interacting with readers and booksellers is often interesting with some people disappointed and others intrigued to meet them. However, two authors writing as one under a pseudonym is not a new one as they borrowed from the wife and husband team of Nero Blanc, mother and daughter authors PJ Tracy and the sisters PJ Parrish. Since they live on opposite coasts, they usually make use of email to communicate when they are writing their novels. Their process usually involves one of the sisters writing one chapter and then sending it to the other to revise and then the revised version is revised once again until both parties are satisfied. Every fortnight, they get on the phone and hash out character and plot details for several hours. Carolyn is usually in charge of fact-checking and research and Julie usually does the art.
