Linda Strawn
 I'm a native Californian, born and raised in rural Sonoma County, an area known for its rugged coastline, oak-studded hills, and fabulous vineyards.
I've had an interest in writing for as long as I can remember. Penning short stories and poems came easy to me and provided an outlet for my wild immagination. Many years would pass before I regarded the talent I possessed as a gift from God. The turning point came when I took a hand-written story and transferred it to my first computer. During this process, I caught the fever of writing like never before. As the story took on a life of its own, I finally realized I had something worthwhile, but it wasn't until a well-known Christian author spoke at our church's women’s retreat that I felt God tugging at my heart to be a writer for Him. From its humble beginnings as a hand-written story in an 8X10 spiral notebook, my first novel "Singing Winds" was born and released in 2007.
I'm currently working on several manuscripts that I hope to have published within the next two years.
I live in Shasta County with my husband of 25 years and young daughter. We share our home in the foothills of Mt. Lassen with our three dogs, cat, and lots of wild critters.
Interests: American Indian culture, history, the outdoors, gardening, scrapbooking, and my faith in God.
