Who is N.J. Lindquist ?N.J. Lindquist is a gifted speaker, the award-winning author of nine critically-acclaimed books and numerous articles and short stories, a regular columnist for ChristianWeek and Maranatha News, and an empowering writing teacher. N. J. has been a guest on TVO Imprint, 100 Huntley Street, Listen Up, and a number of other television and radio programs. She has been quoted and profiled in numerous newspapers and magazines including The Toronto Star and Faith Today. N. J. Lindquist is the award-winning creator of the Manziuk and Ryan mystery series, the Circle of Friends series, and the poignant stand-alone novel, In Time of Trouble. N. J.'s novels have several characteristics in common: characters readers quickly learn to care about; intricate, dynamic plots; the ability to have the reader laughing one minute and in tears the next; and a reflection of the multi-cultural patchwork quilt of N. J.'s homeland. N. J. is a member of nine writing associations, including the Writers Union of Canada, Sister in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, Crime Writers of Canada. In September of 2001, N. J. realized that because of the American domination for the Christian publishing industry, there was a very real need for a Canadian association for writers with a Christian world view. Her vision led to the founding of The Word Guild in December of 2001. She has been the Executive Director since it began. N. J. has received numerous awards for her writing, but the most memorable to date have been a plaque and "Deeds Speak" certificate presented by the York Regional Police Chief Armand P. La Barge in 2006 for her "contribution to facilitating positive change within the community" and "assisting youth in dealing with issues like anger, fear, and peer pressure" through her book, In Time of Trouble. In March of 2006, N. J. received the 2006 Leading Women Award for Communications and Media for her work in co-founding The Word Guild.
