Linda C. Marchman has had a relationship with cats all her life. Beginning in elementary school she began rescuing stray and homeless cats, trying to find appropriate homes for them. She is a self-proclaimed “cat lady” and some may think of her as a “crazy cat lady” but that doesn’t faze her. Her love of felines has brought a number of them to spend their lives with her and her husband, Rex. Thanks to her patient demeanor, many ferals and strays have become beloved pets and contented house cats. She believes that all cats can be tamed somewhat so they can coexist with humans. Linda has had a varied career, working as an assistant principal in an elementary school, a teacher at a community college, an assistant director of an arts council, an office worker in an investment firm and a church administrator. Fourteen years ago she started a business, “Social Butterflies” where she raises and sells live butterflies to people who release them at special occasions. She also designs unique jewelry made from expired butterfly wings and other natural materials. Gone Astray is her first novel, one that she has been thinking of writing for many years. She currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia with Rex and a houseful of cats. https://www.facebook.com/GoneAstrayBy...
