Linda Carroll-Bradd
Linda Carroll-Bradd grew up in northern California as part of a five member family however loads of people in the neighborhood believed her parents just had two daughters. This is because she loved to read and was typically lying on her bed rather than outside playing with all the other neighborhood children.

The summer that Linda was twelve, she read “Gone With the Wind” and was hooked on romantic stories. She delved into the Dorothy Eden and Phyllis A. Whitney books of her mom’s and then found Harlequin.

As a mom of young kids, she’d lose herself in stories about glamorous people in exotic places, so very different than the day-to-day crumbly teething biscuits and diapers.

After spending years of working in secretarial positions, Linda decided she’d use the creative side of her brain and learn how to write one of the romances that she loved to read. Much easier said than done, as it turns out. Twelve long years and many contest finals later, and with help from various critique groups, she got her first call and had a confession story get published. Linda was hooked.

She writes historical and contemporary stories which are heartwarming with a touch of humor, many of which have a tie to her previous home of Texas.
