I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Linda these last several years. She's a consummate professional!

I've worked closely with Linda since 2006, and have enjoyed every minute. Her enviable ability to get things done, is well known among her peers. Her annual Organization classes have consistently packed our chatroom; we all want to know how she does it.
 
I've come to realize she has no magic formula, no secret tricks, she doesn't even have some kind of special luck. She just takes her God given talents and works hard and smart.
 
I want to be just like her, when I grow up.

"Working with Linda was a pleasant experience. Her professional and punctual manner made our relationship smooth yet fun. I can recommend her as courteous, friendly, and easy to work with."

Holiday Writes

I was thrilled to be a part of this anthology!  Expertly edited by Betty Dobson of InkSpotter Publishing, it covers holidays around the world and throughout the year.  My short story is entitled "Excess and Dad's Exes".  I didn't have what one might call a "normal" childhood. Available in print and e-book. 

 

Parent/Teen Stories, Without Judgement, edited by Susan Clawson, has just been released. I'll post more information as soon as I have it.

ALSO included are the BBB Submission Tracker and the Don't Lie to Yourself Time Tracker.
