An Allegory
This came to me this morning, while I was journaling, and it resonated so much that I immediately wanted to share it with you. All it really requires is a willingness to go along on a little imaginary journey...Imagine yourself as a lighthouse. The stormy seas...
I’m back!
Actually, I wasn't away, but all day yesterday, MSN's servers were down, and I couldn't get online to write this blog. Like many things, large and small, that are suddenly taken away, this gave me a real appreciation for MSN's normal efficiency!My thoughts have been...

What Seems Impossible?
I have been doing the impossible for many years.It is, for instance, impossible for a Northport girl with only a high school education to become a New York Times bestselling author, travel the world over, and live at a standard that would have seemed suitable for...
On the Home Stretch With Mojo
Mojo is the heroine of my current writing project, "Deadly Gamble", which will be out in November of next year. Getting to know Mojo has been a real discovery process. She's even more of a handful to write about than Clare Westbrook, (of "Don't Look Now", "Never Look...
The Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama did not say anything I had not heard before, and yet the experience was still powerful. Why is that? Because the Dalai Lama is centered within himself, and in this way he affects the energies of all who come near him. I saw many genuine devotees in the...
Tucson and the Dalai Lama
Today, after spending most of 3 days flat on my back, full of antibiotics, I'm heading south to Tucson with some good friends to hear the Dalai Lama speak. I could not be more thrilled, as evidenced by the fact that I am willing to rise from the near-dead to go along...
One More Thing
I know your giving budgets are probably strained to the max, but here's a worthy cause, a little church in Mississippi. They're trying to help people refill perscriptions, buy supplies, etc. I know even $5 or $10 would be a blessing to them. New Orleans is getting...
Deadly Gamble
I am loving writing this new book! It's called "Deadly Gamble", and it's the first of the new romantic suspense series I'm doing for HQN. I can barely keep up with the heroine--Mojo Sheepshanks is a real pistol, to say the least. And her man, Tucker Darroch, ain't...
Linda Recommends a Book
I am always recommending books. Sometimes, people actually read them. :)Today's offering is "The 15-Second Principle", by Al Secunda. You will probably have to get it from Amazon, or from Al's website.I'm only up to chapter 3, and I see that this thing has some...
Packing to Move
You know, it seems that everything is a metaphor these days.As I've mentioned, I'm moving back to my homeground of Spokane, Washington, and things are moving fast. It's a whirlwind around here, getting ready to go, and I'm asking myself, "What do I want to take along,...
Unofficially Autumn
Have I told you that autumn is and has always been my favorite season?I think so.Even here in sunny Arizona, there is a wonderful shift in the air. The hot weather is, it would seem, finally behind us.There's a feeling of making yet another new start.And oh I do love...
