The author of a middle grade novel, a children’s chapter book, and a young adult novelette, Linda loves writing engaging books with positive messages for children. Although these books are targeted for youth, her goal as a writer is to create enjoyable, memorable, and worthwhile books that people of all ages will enjoy.

Her passion for reading began in elementary school. By the third grade, she was zipping through book after book, enjoying the stories, the characters, and even the lessons learned along the way. Not too long after that, she discovered a love for writing, which grew as she got older. Her favorite class in high school was Creative Writing.

A retired reading and special education teacher with a doctorate in education, Linda lives in New York with her husband and son and their Maltese poodle (Malti-doodle), who inspired her children’s novel, No Dog Food, Please! This work began as a poem and grew into a novel.

Linda is looking forward to publishing more children’s books in the future. Her wish is that young people will get as much joy from reading as she did as a child and still does to this day. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg stated, “Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life.”
