never stopped either one. After completing an undergraduate
degree, Linda started teaching, so at retirement in 2011, she
has spent more than 50 years in classrooms and libraries as a
student and teacher—mainly of English at all levels from
elementary through college.
Her interest in fantasy as a genre blossomed in college and
especially graduate school, when she completed a master’s
thesis on the works of Katherine Kurtz. Many years later the
Internet put Linda in touch with other fans of the Deryni world, leading to a
collaborative fan fi ction novelette called Derry’s Wedding. Having completed one
long work, she decided to tackle others, and so The True Adventures of Snow White
came to be. In addition to writing and still reading, Linda likes photography,
traveling, using the Internet to connect to old friends, and spending time with
the latest in a long line of housecats, though like Kate, she prefers “one or two at a
time, not a whole pride en masse.”view less
