Linda O Johnston

Linda O Johnston is an American author born in 1949 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She believed to be born a writer as she started having interest in writing at a tender age. She saved ideas for the school assignment and attempt to write them later.

Linda O Johnston's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
