From Ann Arbor's heart, where roots first grew
To Windy City's suburbs, breezes blew.
For fifteen years, she called that place her own
Then south she ventured, where sunbeams shone.
Land O' Lakes embraced her, a brand new start
A colorist of hair, with practiced art.
In wellness realms, she managed office days
But yearning whispered, in a different way.
For business studies, a path well-worn
She once embarked, yet something felt forlorn.
Anatomy's call, it failed to ignite
A deeper passion, yearning for the light.
With pen in hand, a writer's soul awoke
The page, her canvas, where stories spoke.
Since childhood's bloom, at thirteen's tender age
She wove in verse, and tales upon the stage.
A novel bloomed, in twenty-first year's grace
A tapestry of history, a time and place.
When books unfurl, with magic in their hold
In hammock's sway, these stories can unfold.
A swimmer's stroke, a foodie's keen delight
In every bite, a spark of magic bright.
For Linda's heart, with wonderment imbued
Finds enchantment's touch, in all that's good.
Cover Letter-Bio
Hailing from the outskirts of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Linda's life unfolded in two chapters. Her early years were spent honing her skills as a hairstylist and business manager in the bustling suburbs of Chicago. But a yearning for knowledge nudged her back to school, where she initially delved into the complexities of the American healthcare system. However, fate had other plans. After a semester, Linda discovered a deeper passion - the captivating world of writing. She traded anatomy charts for creative writing courses, and her love affair with storytelling blossomed.
In 2021, Linda's first novel, “A Chronicle of Witches,” sprang from her imagination. Crafting tales infused with magic became her true vocation. Linda intends to transfer to the Creative Writing program at Central Florida University in the Spring of 2025. She now resides in the sunny state of Florida with her husband, two of her three children, her dog Oscar, and her cat Earl Grey.
Beyond the written word, Linda derives pleasure from gliding through the water, conjuring up culinary delights for her loved ones, and nestling in her beloved hammock with a captivating book.
