An avid reader from a young age, Linda dipped her pen in the creative ink well in high school, although several pieces have been lost to the annals of time and 3.5-inch floppy disk degradation. Linda kept putting pen to paper through the years, not expecting her words to be viewed by the public. Writing was, and still is, a therapeutic (and legal) release for life's stress and is cheaper than traditional therapy. Linda was encouraged (badgered relentlessly) into submitting a few pieces for publication in an online magazine by her friend and co-worker. Although publications are sporadic, Linda continues to write as time allows, only now instead of writing in the barren desert heat of the southern California High Desert, she scribbles and types with southern Colorado's majestic Pike's Peak and breathtaking Garden of the Gods a mere stone's throw away.
