An internationally published author, Linda won first place in the 2006 OSU/Mansfield Florence B. Allen writing competition and soon after earned a cum laude Associate of the Art’s Degree in English. She is a member of Broad Universe, a nonprofit international organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting the work of women writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror.

Trained as a Graphic Artist, Linda worked in that field before publishing her novels. She enjoys drawing, painting, and digital rendering, as well as interior design and upcycling furniture. For her own home, she created stencils, painted tromp l'oeil, and, after adding raised stenciling on some walls, painted to enhance the designs.
