Today I’m welcoming
Linda Trout who writes dynamite romantic suspense stories, to tell us a little
about herself and her work. Let’s start with the routine question of how you
got started writing.

Linda: Hi, Jackie. First,
thanks for having me at Murderous Musings. I’ve always loved a good mystery and
I’m a romantic at heart. I suppose that’s why I combine the two disciplines and
write romantic suspense.
Even
at a young age, I was fascinated with the written word. However, I didn’t take
my writing seriously until later in life. Now I can’t see me doing anything
else. And no matter what I try to write, there’s always an element of mystery
or suspense in it.
In
my previous occupation I was an accountant. So cut and dried...rather boring,
actually. Guess that’s why I turned to killing people off. Well, on paper at
least. LOL When I’m not creating mayhem in my stories, I’m either off riding my
Harley or working in the flower beds. I live in Northeastern Oklahoma, have a
wonderfully supportive husband, and all of my children are furry with four legs
(2 dogs and 3 cats). Needless to say the critters rule the roost.
Jackie: Tell us about your
work and the books you have available for us to buy.
Linda: My first book, GRAVE
SECRETS, was recently released by The Wild Rose Press. I’m so grateful I had an
editor to point out all the places where my ‘perfect work of fiction’ needed to
be fixed. I have a new appreciation for all they do for authors.
Sara Adams is desperately searching for her missing baby; Morgan
Daniels is trying to prove she's a murderer. Will the remains of an infant in
her husband's grave prove either of them right? Or will they find there's more
than one explanation?
Fate has thrown them together, but will they survive the
encounter?

My
latest novella, SHATTERED PROMISES in the anthology ROMANCE – THE SPICE OF
LIFE, has just been released, by DIVA Press. All of the stories are romance,
but each depicts a different sub-genre. My subgenre is suspense. As an extra
bonus, each story includes a delicious tried and true recipe. One reason I especially
love this book is that not all of the hero’s and heroine’s are in their 20’s or
30’s. Love can (and does) bloom at any stage of life.

Thanks, Linda, for being with us today. You're one of the most interesting women I know. By looking at you...tall, slender, lovely...no one would ever guess you're ride a Harley! And that is so cool.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jackie
Thank you, Jackie. I don't know that I'm all that interesting. But then, I think most of us feel that way about ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy riding the Harley, but can't seem to find enough time to get out on the open road. Kinda like a good mystery novel, I love lots of twists and turns to keep me guessing what will come next.
Thank you again for having me on Murderous Musings!
Linda
