Linda Strawn
 A native Californian, Linda was born and raised in the beautiful wine country of Sonoma County. She has many interests, including gardening, sewing, crafts, scrapbooking, and, of course, writing. In the early years, her writing was limited to journaling her thoughts or penning a short story inspired by something she heard or saw. She wrote out of enjoyment and relaxation, never intending for other eyes to see. In the early nineties, Linda went through some trying times so she took a spiral-bound notebook and began writing about a young woman who lived during the late 1800's. Her imagination went wild and she soon filled up the notebook. Several years later, she transferred the book to a computer and literally caught the fever of writing. It was during this time that a well-known Christian author spoke at a women’s retreat sponsored by Linda’s church. This author inspired Linda to allow God to take control of her writing. Needless to say, the book was changed drastically to glorify God and to be a witness of His greatness. "Singing Winds" was born but Linda had yet to learn that this book was meant to be read by others. When she finally got the courage to have a friend read it, she discovered that God, indeed, gave her a gift and one that needed to be shared.
Linda lives in Shasta County with her husband of 24 years, Robert and 9 year old adopted daughter, Michelle. They share ten acres with their three dogs, two cats and lots of wild critters.
