I was told after my first book, "What the Heart Wants" was released that I needed a website,
but Lordy, Lordy, have you checked out the prices those website builder folks charge? Mercy!
So, I thought, well, how hard can this really be? I mean, I'm a fairly intelligent person, I can
read and most times I can follow directions, so, here I am.
I started writing some time ago. When? Yeah, like I'm gonna tell you that! Let's just say it was
when the last Catholic man was President, okay?
I wrote dozens of short stories, which of course my Momma just raved about. She said I was the next
Pearl Buck! Well, of course she did! She was my Momma, and it was her sworn duty to encourage me.
As I grew older, I began to realize that maybe she was right, maybe I could be a writer.
Sadly, I had to put writing on hold till after the younguns was grown and gone. And boy, did I suffer
from that empty nest syndrome all the magazines talked about!
So, my dear husband, Bobby Lee, seeing how lonely I was without the kids, decided to get a computer.
Now, I had a hard enough time driving the TV remote, so you can about imagine how hard a time I
had with a computer! Anyway, I finished my first novel and got it published in 2003,and there have been dozens
of short stories in books and e-zines and magazines since then.
My second book, "Dark Ridge" is going to be released later this summer, so keep on coming back to
visit with me and I'll put up a notcie when it hits the bookstores!
Thanks for visiting. Enjoy yourself.
Linda
