Linda Laforge

Biography

Linda's life has been coloured by loss. The last living person in her immediate family, having lost both her older brothers when they were 29, and her parents, she writes about characters who experience some form of connection to other worldly characters.

“I’ve been having dreams of my family since they left me,” the author says. “I’ve always felt I was getting messages from somewhere greater than me.”

Her settings are often dark and mysterious. Her humour smart and pointed. Her themes meaningful and spiritual. She aims to provoke and leave her audience intrigued. “I like books that make me rethink the ordinary and remain somehow in that world long after I’ve put the book down. I hope I can do the same.”

Linda's book Ashes was written while she was working through a spiritual crisis. “It has more than one bizarre alien and a mad scientist.” It's underlying theme is love and forgiveness.

She is currently writing deeply evocative paranormal romance about living in the moment. It will be available in the near future.

Linda Laforge lives in Ontario, Canada with her family.

Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
I am writing a paranormal romance about a woman who meets a man who might be just a bit too charming. Calista has a seizure, something she hasn't experienced since childhood. It re-opens a door that allows her to contact her mother, father and sister, all deceased - at least in this world. She's offered a special vision and a purpose. To help her charming new man find himself.

The theme is really about living in the moment. This moment, right now. Right now, you are not all of the stupid things you have ever done. Right now, you just are and that's a good thing.
Who are your favorite authors?
John Wyndham is one of my favourite classic authors, my favourite book being the The Chrysalids. That guy was ahead of his time. His work was completely original and unlike many of the other classic sci-fi books I've read.

I struggle to name a favourite current author. As an example, I have read the Twilight series but still wouldn't putStephanie Meyer as a favourite even after I read "The Host", which I enjoyed quite a bit. My favourite poet is Bruce Meyer (no relation to Stephanie Meyer) who I also know and love. I'm currently reading a lot of classic sci-fi, so my head isn't in the contemporary writers at the moment. When I come up with someone more current I'll keep ya posted!
