Lindsay de Feliz was born, raised and educated in the UK, where she worked as a marketing lecturer and was Marketing Director for various financial service companies. She then decided to follow her dreams and travel the world as a scuba diving instructor, ending up in the Dominican Republic. She fell in love with the country and its people, eventually met and married a Dominican and has been living there for the last 11 years working as a writer, translator and marketing consultant. Lindsay currently lives in the middle of nowhere in the Dominican Republic with her family, four dogs and seven cats and writes a blog about the Dominican Republic and daily life at www.yoursaucepans.blogspot.com. Following an 'interesting' few years which included her being shot, she decided to write the memoir of her time in the Dominican Republic.
