Teen Contemporary and Fantasy


Background Information

Linda likes to write Teen Contemporary and Fantasy. Fantasy is her number one choice when it comes to writing and reading. She writes Teen Contemporary for one reason. Her children had social issues when they were growing up. These issues are the same issues many other teens deal with in their own lives. This being namely substance abuse and peer pressure.

She wrote her first book in 2010 called Friends of Choice. This book was written mostly for herself but later evolved into something much more.

After a conversation with a rehab drug counselor about a hot topic that was hitting the news media, Linda was inspired to write her latest book, Road Salt. This book also brought new meaning to the first book in her series of Teen Contemporary books. The series has been named Wings From Ashes.

Road Salt depicts some of the dangers of using the substance Bath Salts.

Birth Place
Groton, MA USA
Accomplishments

Friends of Choice has been chosen one of the NABE Pinnacle Book Achievement
Award Winners for Fall 2010.

Additional Information

THE STORY BEHIND THIS BOOK Linda was watching the news last summer when she saw her son's counselor speaking about the dangers of a designer drug that was hitting our streets. She wanted everyone to know how dangerous Bath Salts was. This gave Linda the idea to write Road Salt. While this book is completely fictional, the main idea of the teens taking the road trip south was sparked by an incident that happened in her daugter's life several years ago. Giving the reason why her daughter said, "Good book, but bad memories."
