Author Bio:
Linda B. Myers won her first creative contest in the sixth grade. After a Chicago marketing career, she traded in snow boots for rain boots and moved to the Pacific Northwest with her Maltese, Dotty. She now lives in Port Angeles, WA, a town that figures heavily into Starting Over Far Away.
Of her ten novels, three are historical fiction. “People who write historical fiction tend to be odd ducks,” she says. “We follow facts and arcane nuggets deeper into rabbit holes than most well-adjusted people could care to share.” It’s the only way to be sure of your facts.
