What was the inspiration for this series?

I was writing my ancestors’ intriguing histories so my children could appreciate their heritage and decided they needed to become a series. My fictional characters came alive through “inheriting” incidents from those courageous men and women

Melinda and the Wild West (Book 1): Schoolteacher Melinda has many challenges but a rugged rancher confronts her with the one thing for which she is least prepared—love.

Edith and the Mysterious Stranger (Book 2): When a mysterious stranger starts writing to nurse Edith, she gets to know his soul before making harsh judgments. Yet she can't help asking herself: "Can he be as wonderful in person as he is in his letters?"

Jenny’s Dream (Book 3): An unpleasant childhood memory haunts aspiring author Jenny. She must learn to forgive before following her dream to success and happiness.

Sarah’s Special Gift (Book 4): Beautiful, successful dance teacher Sarah is deaf, but she  does not allow it to stop her from living life to its fullest. Or falling in love with a man who needs her help.

Elena, Woman of Courage (Book 5): During the Roaring Twenties, Elena raises her hemlines and bobs her hair. Although she fights prejudice as the town’s first female doctor, the most eligible bachelor, who determines to win her heart.

Are your books in audiobook form?

Yes, with Audible. Narrator Carolyn Kashner actually sings in Edith and the Mysterious Stranger. (She has such a lovely voice.)

Who is the most intriguing character in this series?

Elena Woman of Courage faces prejudice from the town bully who feels that women have no right to practice medicine. She courageously bobs her hair and raises her hemlines/ This intrigues the town’s most eligible bachelor, who admires her tenacity.

I love the courage and human spirit typically found in historical characters. I also love knowing there will be no cell phones, computers, facebook, or texting anywhere in the book! I really enjoy listening to someone reading the story to me on audiobook like old time radio shows. And I love the covers on Linda's books.
