About Linda

I’m a late bloomer. I received my BAS in management and psychology when I was 51, I learned to ride a motorcycle when I was 55, I totaled it when I was 57, and I finished my first book after I started collecting Social Security. A LONG AND WINDING ROAD, RVing with Mom and Dad is the story of an RV adventure through 16 states. It is also the story of my emotional and spiritual road through co-dependence, marriage, divorce, the emotional breakdown of my son, finding love again, surviving a less than stellar economy, retirement, and caregiving and all that entails.

I was down-sized out of corporate America in 2007 and now live outside a tiny town 60 miles east of Dallas. Mom is in an assisted living facility near my brother and Dad is at home with the Lord. We planned to use our Texas place as a home base while we spent as much time on the road as possible, but the price of diesel has put those plans on hold for a while. In the meantime, I write because that’s what writers do, and I post because that’s what modern writers do. I also contribute a weekly column about my church to the “Rains County Leader,” our local newspaper, and occasional articles to the “Burnside Writers Collective,” a Christian magazine presenting an alternative to franchise faith, and Soul Sitters, a comforting web-based community for people facing the loss of a loved one.

I hope you’re amused, encouraged or maybe even inspired by my stories. Stop by any time.

Blessings,

Linda
