Award winning author Linda Joyce believes stories are as integral to her life as breathing. She shares the joys and agonies of characters and often wishes their stories would continue far beyond "The End." She lives in Metro-Atlanta with her very patient husband and their three fur babies-Jake, Maxence, and Sugar. Linda's addicted to Cajun food and Japanese food. She's a fan of smooth jazz. She will deny traditional jazz music hurts her ears-that could get her banished from her hometown, New Orleans. However, being half-Japanese, her current life's adventure includes learning enough Kanji to be able to read a Japanese newspaper.
