About
the Book:
Angry
with God, she finds herself even angrier, when hero, Brice Taylor, author of The Human Shield, arrives in the Emergency
Room with a concussion and hypothermia after participating in the Polar Bear
Plunge. Aleni wants nothing to do with a man who willingly takes chances with
his life.Brice doesn’t understand how God could bring him through being a
captive in Iraq, when he failed his troops so miserably. Writing about his
escape brings fame he would rather avoid. And by meeting widow, Aleni Callan,
his feelings of failure only increase.Megan Callan with the help of her
three-year-old grandson, Ty, scheme to bring Aleni and Brice together. And
while the best laid plans often go awry, Megan isn’t one to accept no.
Linda says:
I love the idea of a returning war hero and a war widow
finding each other.
Most importantly, my oldest daughter, Brandy, a nurse,
herself, always wanted me to write a story about a nurse named Aleni. So, when the
opportunity presented itself, I couldn't resist. I did learn one VERY important
thing: women like their purist romances. I've tried all types of edgy and different
takes on the genre, but have learned that when certain readers sit down, they
expect specific things.
So, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
About Linda:
Linda
served in the military during a time when it wasn’t a politically correct thing
to do. Her years as a meteorologist during Vietnam were filled with travel,
teaching, and pure enjoyment for being part of the Armed Forces. Winning awards,
many of which were “firsts” for a woman in the Air Force, she experienced an
array of unusual opportunities normally reserved for men. Breaking down
barriers was a must in the seventies.
She taught
karate and women’s self-defense off and on for thirty years, refereed soccer
for twenty-five, fifteen of which she was one of eleven National Instructors
for the largest youth soccer organization in the world.
Now, she
works part time in a physical therapy clinic, which seems appropriate after all
her soccer/karate injuries.
She spends
relaxing time writing, directing, and singing in church musicals as well as directing
community theatre.
As she
enjoys reading other peoples’ novels and encouraging them in their writing, she
works as an agent for Hartline Literary Agency.
Linda is
married to a terrific guy and is the mother of three amazing children, three
wonderful grandchildren, and a foster cat (who has found her way, in name, onto
the pages of two books).
Who
wouldn’t want to hear about an Ophelia?
After all,
it was good enough for Shakespeare.
