 The
other sides of Linda are many. She’s a wife, mother, sister, photographer, closet singer
and too many others to name.
Born and raised in Northern Virginia,
Linda had a secret desire to be a rock star. She spent many hours
memorizing her favorite songs and writing poetry with the hope of being a
singer/songwriter. Though Linda never became a rock star she still spends her
free time listening and singing to her favorite songs. She listens to a
wide variety of music ranging from opera to current.
When Linda steps away from her writing,
she enjoys spending time with
her family. She has two daughters fifteen and eleven, who keep her moving and
they never let her forget a promise.
“My family is what keeps me grounded in
reality. They let me stray just far enough to keep my creative self happy
and pull me back when needed.”
Linda’s
been married to her wonderful husband for 18 years. She jokes that
her husband didn’t sign on for her writer side. “…Because when we met he
had no idea I aspired to be a writer. He only found out after the birth of
our oldest daughter.”
Linda is also quick to point out that
her husband is supportive of her writing and publishing endeavors, even if
she does go overboard.
Family time can happen at anytime. When
it does reading, drawing, riding bikes, and watching movies are a few of
the favorites. Linda also enjoys spending time with her three sisters. If
she can squeeze the time into her day she loves to read almost anything
from mystery/suspense to the classics. Her genre of choice is vampires but
that could change at any moment.
When asked what’s most important in her
life Linda says, “My family. It’s my family that holds me up when I suffer
a set back and it’s my family that celebrates my successes whether they
are personal or professional.” |
