She has been nominated for the Romantic Times award twice and has won the "Best Career Achievement" award from the same magazine. Two of Linda Francis Lee's novels have been adapted into movies, and she is currently working on a television series script based on her hometown.
Early Life
Linda Francis Lee was born in Texas, where she published her first work, an article titled "No Finish Line," in the magazine of Texas Tech University while still a student. After earning her degree, Linda taught probability theory and statistics but felt unsatisfied with her work. She discovered her love for running and writing, and decided to focus on these two passions. She started by jotting down her thoughts and eventually took courses for aspiring writers.
Writing Career
Linda's first book, "Texas Angel," was published in 1994 and paid homage to her home state. In the same year, her historical Western romance "Wild Hearts" was also released. In 1996, Linda gained widespread recognition with her novel "Blue Waltz," which told the gripping and emotionally intense story of a scarred girl betrayed and sold by her own father. This unconventional tale set Linda Francis Lee apart as an author to watch.
In 2006, Linda Lee released "The Devil in the Junior League," a contemporary novel with an ironic twist. The story follows a heroine seeking revenge on her husband, who had stolen from her and married someone else. The book broke conventions of the "women's" genre. Another notable work by Linda Francis Lee is "Emily and Einstein," a mix of various genres including romance, psychology, mystery, and even stories about animals. The book explores the journey of Emily, who faces numerous hardships after her husband's death, and her bond with a dog named Einstein, who seems to embody the spirit of her late husband.
Recent Works and Recognition
Linda's works have received positive feedback from readers and critics alike. Her historical romance novel "Emerald Rain" is particularly popular, with its captivating and at times tragic love story intertwined with themes of vengeance. The three books in the historical family saga "Hawthorne" - "In the Power of Love," "White Swan," and "Proud and Unyielding" - have also garnered praise.
Life in New York
In 1999, Linda's family relocated to New York due to her husband's job. Linda quickly adapted to the colder climate and immersed herself in the bustling city life. She regularly goes on runs in Central Park and explores different neighborhoods, sharing her experiences and impressions on her blog.
