I Knew It In the Bath
Reviews of I Knew It In the Bath
"Short Story Heaven"
"This is a beautiful, poignant and intense collection of short stories. Diverse and wide ranging, there is substance and sensitivity here that can’t help but move the reader. Linda has a truly individual voice that is at once mischievous, humorous and chilling. She also has a remarkable eye for detail and a gift for creating emotional depth. There is also a genuine understanding of human nature. Each story has its own world of acutely drawn characters that fly off the page. Subtle but powerful. Sad yet funny. Yearning and heartfelt. This is a writer who deserves to be read and reread. An outstanding, profoundly moving piece of writing."
An immersive theatre script, Unseen Eyes in The Script Challenge.
The Green-Eyed Angel short story in the Evergreen anthology.
Santa's Supersonic Sleigh
Reviews of Santa's Supersonic Sleigh
"Fabulous Christmas fun!"
"Santa's Supersonic Sleigh will introduce animals, places, technology, weather, customs, cuisine, feelings (and more) to young children. The book is rich in humour and fun and the fantastic illustrations are alive with expression, imagination and bright colours. This is a perfect book to enjoy at Christmas with children who want to learn about Santa's journey around the world on Christmas Eve, as he and Rudolf adapt to each new terrain and destination."
