Linda has been married for over ten years and is an Arizona native; her parents were transplants from Texas and South Carolina. Growing up, she attended junior high and high school in Mesa. While at ASU, she studied Sociology and Law. Her fascination with the legal process, combined with years of watching Perry Mason and Law and Order, led her to pursue a career in law. After Linda was called to jury duty twice, she realized the courtroom drama was best suited for TV.
She started writing short stories in the fourth grade and, by high school, had begun writing novellas. After high school, Linda branched out and read from several different genres; however, she inherited her mother's love of Crime Fiction, so it's no surprise she has an insatiable desire to solve mysteries.
Linda's favorite animals are dogs and horses. She is currently puppy mom to Bentley, a Heeler mix, and Shelby, a Shepherd mix. One of her fondest adult memories was visiting the X Diamond Ranch in Eagar, Arizona, where she rode a tall, gentle appaloosa named Appy. Her love of animals is rivaled only by her passion for writing.
Linda is a fatal brain tumor survivor, has lost her hearing in one ear, and is plagued by intense nerve pain. These ailments hinder her ability to focus on her passion and create havoc in her life. Still, despite all of that, she treasures every day she gets to continue living, loving, and writing.
Her debut novel, Stalker's Revenge, is available at Amazon.com.
Her second novel is completed, and the final editing was finished on June 13th. Once she receives her copyright certificate, she will start the publishing process. Stay tuned for more updates.
She is eternally grateful to all of those who support her passion.
