Lindsey Anderson Rios is an Ohio-born, Wisconsin-based journalist and author who holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from Colby College and has received several Excellence in Journalism awards from her state press club. She lives with her husband and dog in a century-old home in Milwaukee that they’re slowly fixing up together, and when she’s not writing or reading, she can often be found wrestling with wallpaper rolls or swapping out switch plates. 

 

Her debut novel, Winter at World's End, is a dystopian romance about two unlikely allies who must trek across the Alaskan tundra to cure a disease that's rapidly corrupting their memories. It’s loosely inspired by the 1925 Serum Run to Nome, a real-life event that sparked the creation of Alaska's iconic sled dog race, the Iditarod.​

 

The book will be published in April of 2027 by Penguin Random House in the US and Scholastic in the UK. Translation rights have also been sold to Gallmeister in France.
