Her
first novel, ON A WING AND A DARE, was published in 2012. It is a Young Adult
fantasy set in medieval Wales, complete with flying horses, a love triangle,
and treachery. It’s sequel, IN THE WINDS OF DANGER, was released March, 2013.
The focus of that book is the misty past of a groom and the murky future of a
rider. The last book in the trilogy is UNDER A WILD AND DARKENING SKY, May
2014. It follows a brother and sister, new to High Meadow, who become involved
in a plot to steal flying horses.
As
a child, Linda always loved to write. She took her first creative writing
course in seventh grade, accumulating a closet full of stories that she never
showed anyone until 2007. At that time, she gave the first draft of a flying
horse book to a teacher colleague to read. ON A WING AND A DARE began as a
NaNoWriMo novel in 2009. It was revised with the help of reviewers on
thenextbigwriter.com over the next two years. For NaNo 2011, Linda drafted the
sequel, IN THE WINDS OF DANGER. NaNoWriMo 2012 brought the first draft of UNDER
A WILD AND DARKENING SKY, and NaNoWriMo 2013 saw the completion of UNDER THE
ALMOND TREES. This last is a historical fiction that follows three women who
struggle for women’s rights in early California.
Linda
has also written a novella titled WINGS OVER TREMEIRCHSON, released as an ebook
in Fall 2013. It follows the story of Hoel and Neste, parents of a main
character in ON A WING AND A DARE.
