Often a writer’s true calling isn’t revealed until they’ve gone through a long list of careers and they come to the conclusion writing is what they’d truly like to do the rest of their life. That is the case with Linda Gilman. This humorous historical western romance author makes her home in rural Missouri. Those past careers of hers include: a waitress, Realtor, homemaker and for over thirty years her focus was childcare. Linda holds an Associated Degree in Early Childcare and owned a childcare facility for five years. Once her three sons were grown and out of the nest, Linda turned to writing. She has a love for American western history. The gold rush era and cowboys are her favorite choices for setting and characters. Linda says she likes to focus on one key goal when she writes her stories. Her goal is to tickle every reader’s funny bone when they read her books.
