Linda's books have won several awards, including the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for Best Book of the Year and the Holt Award of Merit, and have sold more than a million copies in over a dozen languages worldwide. "I love reading thrillers, suspense, mystery and romance...stories with unforgettable characters and complex plots with depth and passion...and a bit of wit. And I do my best to write the kinds of stories I love to read. I write to entertain, and if I can enrich a few lives along the way, all the better."
With a dual background in behavioral science and in journalism, Linda has worked in a number of jobs from human rights advocate to magazine editor to the director of a state program for the seriously mentally ill... all rewarding experiences that provide a rich background for penning her compelling stories. She's also the co-founder of Bootcamp for Novelists, an online writing school where she taught the advanced writing classes. When not writing, Linda, still a Minnesotan at heart, pursues her passion for travel, photography, tennis, a little Texas Hold 'Em, and hanging out with her family and friends in sunny Arizona.
