About the Author

Born and raised in Florida, Linda loves the salt water, the sun, and the swamplands. She has always loved reading-especially mysteries and romantic suspense novels. Years ago, she found authors Agatha Christie and Mary Stewart thrilling. Today, she reads different types of Christian fiction, but romantic suspense is still her favorite. Linda taught at a Christian school and worked for the Pregnancy Center of Pinellas County as a Center Director and at Trinity College of Florida as a financial aid assistant. Now, she speaks and works against human trafficking with the Tampa Bay area's Community Campaign Against Human Trafficking Task Force (now called FREE). Her blog at http: //lindarodante.wordpress.com highlights human trafficking, sexuality in America, commitment to Christ, and her mother's missionary trips to Israel and Indonesia. At the age of twenty-six, Linda discovered what the miraculous love of Jesus Christ has to offer and gave her life to Him. Her life has not always been easy but has included wonderful friends and family, joy, laughter, and even the miraculous. As a young teen, Linda wanted to write, but it wasn't until she was in her fifties that God opened the door. Linda's writing has won finalist and semifinalist awards with the American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis and First Impressions contests. She and her husband live in Florida. They have two grown sons. One is following his grandmother's example-he and his family are missionaries in Botswana, Africa. Her other son works at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC.
