Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I’m Linda and to this date I have two published books, one to be published , sitting in edits right now and one I’m just starting to write. I am a former library clerk who has loved romance novels since I could walk.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Newest is called Angelea’s Dreams of Yesterday about a woman who wakes up in a nice modern hospital but swears she is married to a pirate and has just been lynched by an angry mob in her small village in the 1700’s.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know how odd it is but I hand write my books first, then transfer them to the computer. It’s a good thing because I just recently lost my first 10,000 words in my computer and have to retype everything from those notes. And yes I saved it all as I went, they just disappeared.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Robin Carr, Nora Roberts and Victoria Laurie. All great female romance writers and a paranormal writer thrown in there for good measure and diversity.
What are you working on now?
The one I have to retype is about a woman who tries to help the environment by raising butterflies. The problem is her new boyfriend and next door neighbor is a large area farmer…using a lot of herbicides and pesticides.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word press or Facebook fan page. They both have the news as soon as I know it.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Stick to it. Even when you hate the site of your notebook or computer. You can do it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Ignore what your friends or relatives say about your writing. Do it because you love it and have to write.
What are you reading now?
Nothing…working hard at my own writing. But I am waiting for a new Victoria Laurie Ghost Hunters book to be released. Then I’ll take a break and read that.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Probably working on the edits from Angelea’s Dreams of Yesterday.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Wow not sure, there’s too many…I’d have to bring a lot more than three…lol
