History and real-life narratives have always blended in Linda's imagination, particularly the voices of those who might have lived. Research for her novels has sent her to the cobblestones of historic Philadelphia (Voices Beckon and Voices Whisper), the dense jungles of Jamaica's backcountry (Voice Echo), and the isolated trails of Scotland's majestic Highlands (A Thimbleful of Honor).And, of course, to many libraries.
