Linda has loved writing and reading for as long as she can remember. Her first completed novel was written in pencil on blue-lined paper when she was eleven. Three years later, she stepped up to a typewriter and spent a two-week Christmas vacation writing a 200-page mystery about a girl sleuth named Kerry Blue.

It wasn't until almost two decades later that her dreams of becoming a published author were realized, when her first book, Almost Twins, was released in 1991 from Willowisp Press. Since then she has sold over 25 books, mostly paranormal mysteries for kids. While she hasn't experienced anything paranormal personally, she loves to explore the unexplained and believes that everything is possible.

When Linda isn't writing, she enjoys reading juvenile and adult fiction, taking brisk walks, camping, swimming, and bowling. She also collects vintage girl series books like Nancy Drew, Judy Bolton and Trixie Belden, creating an entire room for her many thousands of books. She lives with her husband, David, and their two grown children live in the country near Sacramento, California with a menagerie of animals.
