I met Linda at a local ACFW meeting. She taught several of the classes. Her personality, though is lively, smart, and fun. She knows what is up to date in the publishing field and shares tips. After sessions she is one of the most personable people I've met. I instantly counted her a friend. At the meeting I won one of her books. Read my Wednesday post for the book review. Seriously, she is an entertaining author. When I asked Linda how God has led her on her writing journey she gave this answer:
Enjoy All God Has Created
How has God led me on my writing journey? After 23 years, there’s so
much to tell about how I did everything wrong, then got smart and got serious
about the writing, found an agent at conference, and then began working with
him as an assistant after a time.
Then a door opened for me to become an agent and I took it. I never would have been able to dream this stuff up 23 years ago. No one would have believed it.
So…let’s just say, if there is something in your life that you want, never give up your dream. Never, ever! You may not see results the following week, but if you are truly on a journey for which you can’t turn back, you will discover where you are supposed to be.
For me, it is writing as well as matching other writers with editors. Dream job! But I persevered way beyond what most folks are willing to do.

Linda is married with
three grown children and three grandchildren. She is a complete triple-A
personality (she often says quadruple). How else would she find time to write
as well as be an agent for Hartline Literary Agency?
She loves any and every thing about the written word and loves when families pass stories along through the generations. If she isn't writing or putting together a contract, you'll find her taking a relaxing bath with her ereader in hand.

Her background includes
serving in the Air Force at a time when it wasn’t considered the right thing to
do for a female, teaching soccer around the US for 25 years—finally retired as
the feet failed, and teaching karate and women’s self-defense off and on for 30
years. Ditto with body parts failing.
She loves to sing in and
direct musicals, though there’s been little time since she became an agent. Linda grew up with all brothers, so she understands sophomoric humor as an art.
Life is good! Have fun,
don’t take yourself too seriously, and enjoy all God has created!

Bride by Necessity:
JONATHAN LAMBRICK
NEVER PLANNED TO MARRY AGAIN But when the master of Kent Park takes in the orphaned daughter of a tenant, Jonathan doesn't expect his young charge to be a stunning woman. Or for a predatory relative to lay claim to her. Marriage may be the only way to protect Payton from an unthinkable fate.
Payton Whittard knows her marriage to Jonathan is about safety, not love. But the feelings that soon arise during their arrangement are anything but safe. Still, there's something about her handsome protector that makes her trust him with her life. Can Payton trust him with her heart, as well?
The Preacher's New Family
PREACHER T.J. O'BRIEN ISN'T LOOKING FOR A WIFE AND FAMILY
Yet every time he sees Sarah Anne Rycroft, he feels a powerful urge to protect the beautiful young widow. When she's in danger of losing the farm to the bank, T.J. steps in to defend Sarah against the unscrupulous banker.
Sarah knows T.J. has vowed to live a solitary life of devotion to God. Still, the single mother can't resist the comfort and safety of his strong arms. But when he sells his most prized possession to save the farm from foreclosure, she wonders if the handsome preacher could have marriage on his mind, after all.

Friend, what would your dream job be?

My dream job? I think I've got it. It's one I never, ever could've dreamed up. I get to see people of all ages smile and laugh as they meet the monkeys. Seeing their smiles never gets old. Combine that with writing and I don't think it could get any better than I have it.

My dream job is to become that full-time published author that I… uh… dream about all the time. Back in the cobwebs of my mind is that old fantasy job: a well-known (and of course, most appreciated) playwright.

What a totally fun job!!! I want to come meet the monkeys.
Thanks so much for spending time with us today....I'm feeling a bit like a monkey. :)
I have this feeling that some day I am going to be seeing a lot of your writing on the shelf...and perhaps the stage? That would be really awesome. I can see why it's on your list.
Thanks so much for chatting with us today.
