Lindy never grew up to be the famous scientist she’d always dreamt of being. Instead she spent time as a journalist, a traveller and a book editor before turning happily to a life of crime. She is now the author of five crime, mystery and adventure novels. Lindy lives with her wonderful partner Michele on Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula, which they rarely leave because it’s too hard to get a sitter for the four-legged kids. They share their home with one dog, Tess; and four cats, Xena, Gabby, Emmett and Ares. Lindy is an unashamed Xenite, Xenaphile, XWP buff – you get the drift; a Buffy, Angel, Stargate, Dr Who, Torchwood, Smallville, Battlestar Galactica fan; a Trekker; a closet warrior princess; and a philogynist, who obviously doesn’t mind being labelled. She is also a National Co-Convenor of Sisters in Crime Australia and editor of its magazine Stiletto. As a true crime writer and editor Lindy is: co-author, with her sister Fin J. Ross, of Killer in the Family; co-author, with her friend Ruth Wykes, of Women Who Kill; contributing editor of Meaner Than Fiction and Outside the Law 2; and editor of Outside the Law 3. She is currently working on the sequel to Redback; and a YA urban fantasy time-travelling adventure.

This is a witty and light-hearted book, fast reading and entertaining. It is the first in the series. The author decided that Melbourne needed its own female crime fighter and Kit fills the bill perfectly. This is the first in a planned series. Reviewing the Evidence. (Full Review here) |

Extremely readable, despite the subject matter, it sounds odd to say that you "liked" a true crime book - particularly one about people with such intimate contact with the people that they kill - but I've got to say I found this book extremely readable. AustCrimeFiction (Full Review here) |

This anthology is as relevant now as it was when it was originally published. It's a stark reminder of the need for scrutiny and was instructive, saddening, uplifting and fascinating. AustCrimeFiction (Full review here) |

Pacey, peopled with strong female characters; good male characters; a complicated yet disconcertingly believable multi-threaded plot and a hefty dose of subtle humour, REDBACK is definitely going to be amongst my best books of 2007 list. AustCrimeFiction (Full review here) Redback is a grand action thriller set on a global scale reaching from Texas, through Luxembourg and on to Peshawar, Pakistan. Author Lindy Cameron has hatched an ingenious terrorist plot, spread by terrorist leaders on many fronts. To counter them she has introduced a brand new group of highly trained operatives known as the Redback Retrieval Group.CrimeDownUnder (Full review here)

If you're a fan of True Crime, the whole of the OUTSIDE THE LAW series comes highly recommended. AustCrimeFiction (Full review here) |

The book is also nicely sprinkled with the sorts of tales that many fans of True Crime expect from this sort of book - the bad, the mad, the dangerous and the daring. AustCrimeFiction (Full review here) |

Kit O'Malley seems to attract trouble wherever she goes. A former police officer turned private investigator; Kit can handle any crime she finds. Or at least that is what she thinks. Reviewing The Evidence (Full Review here) |

WOMEN WHO KILL clearly demonstrates that human nature (in this case the worst of) most definitely is not the domain of the male of the species. AustCrimeFiction (Full review here) |
