A native of New England, Linda Morrow graduated from Syracuse University with a BA in sociology and later earned her MEd in Guidance and Counselling. In her younger life she raised three sons and enjoyed a thirty-five-year career in public school education. In 2013 she and her wife relocated to Bellingham, Washington: The City of Subdued Excitement. She deeply appreciates a supportive and talented community of writers, and has learned to value the coffee shops of Washington, not just for the lattes, but also as places for her daily writing practice. Linda roots for the Red Sox and the New England Patriots, walks along beach and woodland trails, treasures time with her grandchildren, and continues to add books to her to-be-read pile.
