Meet Novelist Lindsay Marie Morris, Author of Historical Fiction Rooted in Italian Heritage
Lindsay Marie Morris is a novelist and journalist based in Los Angeles, bringing a dynamic storytelling voice to both her historical fiction and her nonfiction work. Inspired by her Sicilian-American roots, her debut novel, The Last Letter from Sicily (Storm Publishing, January 2025), traces a World War II–era story of love, resilience, and family secrets that spans continents and generations. Her second novel, Beneath the Sicilian Stars (Storm Publishing, July 2025), returns to this pivotal moment in history, following a family divided between California and Sicily whose lives are forever changed by the war, forcing them to confront questions of loyalty, belonging, and sacrifice.
A graduate of Marquette University with a B.A. in Communications, Lindsay began her editorial career in magazine publishing as travel editor at Shape before expanding into digital media, nonprofit communications, and health and wellness journalism. Her work has appeared in Forks Over Knives and other national outlets.
When she's not writing, Lindsay leads author talks and workshops on personal storytelling and historical fiction, coaches writers, visits book clubs, and interviews Italian culture and history ambassadors at lindsaymariemorris.com/blog. She also connects with readers through her newsletter, sharing behind-the-scenes insights, upcoming events, and travel notes from the road.
