She wrote her first children's book by accident. \u003ci\u003eGeorge and Mildred: The Attack of the Meanie Girls\u003c\/i\u003e started as a funny gift to her friends, but soon expanded into a series, with \u003ci\u003eLife's a Beach\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Let's Tango\u003c\/i\u003e and now \u003ci\u003eLimitless\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA former newspaper and magazine journalist, Linda loves the written word and telling stories. At first, they were other people's stories, but her vision soon grew to include her own and offered children and their caregivers a glimpse of what adventures not taken, and gifts not embraced, could reflect in one's life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer goal was to inspire children to realise their full potential and lead them to become the heroes of their own life story - to embrace their uniqueness, and to know that their essence matters. Her favourite part of her journey is seeing how children embrace the characters, and themselves in the process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn Ontario, Canada native, Linda now resides in West Lothian, Scotland, in a miner's cottage with her boxer beast Kao, where she writes her own stories, and helps other authors realise their authorship dreams, as Oxygen Publishing's Director of Children's Books.
