Born in Worcester Massachusetts and raised in Peoria Illinois, Linda  landed in the high desert of Southern California where she entered into the radio broadcasting industry. She honed her writing skills developing numerous ad campaigns. She then began stints as an on air personality for radio stations in the Victor Valley.  The mother of five grown children now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her husband Bill.   "A Cabin in the Woods" was her first publication after many years of writing poetry, short stories and desk drawer novels. Now with two other books in paperback, "Forever Again" and "Santa's Little Secret", Linda has received rave reviews.     Retiring in 2015, Linda was able to pay more attention to her writing. While beginning to write "Forever Begins", the second book in her Island Love trilogy, Linda was diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer. She is now undergoing treatment and is on the path of beating this rare type of Cancer. Now Linda shares her time appearing at book signings and fund-raisings for numerous foundations. She admits to having addictions to works by Sandra Brown, chocolate and silly Facebook games.  Her motto to live by is “every decision has a consequence” and she gives all credit to God for her courage and determination to battle the unknown and complete and publish what she loves to do.
