Linda Madl's work includes eighteen novels and novellas as well as short stories, and nonfiction articles. Besides a good story, she relishes peanut M&Ms, classical music, and a good bookstore or library. For writing Speak of Love, she visited the Isle of Skye off the western coast of Scotland where she marveled at the castle's sea gate and learned about kelpies, the fairy flag, mermaids, feuds, and generally soaked up the beauty of the place. She resides with her husband, dog and parakeet in the Kansas Flint Hills. Family, friends, and travel fill her non-writing hours. fictionwise
