“Just letting readers know that I have written some works under Linda Chaffee Taylor (Chaffee was my maiden name, and that is where you will find my main profile) and Linda K. Taylor (middle initial). I can't figure out how to get Goodreads to combine, but if you want to find all my books, go to the author profile for Linda Chaffee Taylor. And thanks for reading and supporting.”
