Autorenporträt
Linda Chalk grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio where she graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in chemistry. She dreamed of becoming a published author since she could first write. Some of her earliest stories were romances. Of course, studying chemistry left little time for creative writing or reading fiction of her choice. But the premise of Torn Between Worlds was born during this time. The old west had been subjects of interest since early childhood and days of watching Gunsmoke and Bonanza. After college graduation, she gave up studying weighty text books to read fiction of her choice and to research her book. Since she lived near the university with access to their library, she could spend evenings combing through personal diaries written by actual immigrants who had traveled the overland trail to Oregon and California. Over the next few years, while she worked for a major consumer products company, married and raised two daughters, Linda continued to hone her craft, networking with other authors and those in the publishing industry. She published her short story, "Titanic Love", (based on a real story with real people, during the sinking of the Titanic) in collection of short stories, Love's a Beach, with her local writers' group. Meanwhile, the book of Linda's dreams sat on the back burner unfinished until she retired, and her two daughters were grown. Linda lives in a suburb of Cincinnati with her husband and Shetland Sheep dog. She enjoys retirement and travel in their RV, golfing, sightseeing, photography and writing.
