Linda O. Johnston loves to write. More than one genre at a time? That’s part of the fun. While honing her fiction, she started working in advertising and public relations, then became a lawyer... and still enjoys writing contracts. Linda’s first published fiction appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and won the Robert L. Fish Memorial Award for “Best First Mystery Short Story of the Year.” It was the beginning of her versatile fiction writing career, starting with more short stories and novellas, as well as time travel romance and romantic suspense novels. Linda now spends most of her time creating memorable tales of paranormal romance and mystery.

As an animal aficionado, Linda enjoys writing stories in which pets and other creatures play important roles... including shapeshifters. Linda lives in the Hollywood Hills with her husband and two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
