Writing first took her to non-fiction human-interest articles for newspapers and eventually a non-fiction book about tuberculosis set in the 1930s and 1940s (Touched By The White Plague). But romance had always been her first love and she turned to writing love stories. She is multi-published in the CBA market.

Mail Order Brides

My latest series of books is Montana Mail-Order Brides.

Marrying a man you've never seen in person is risky. But then so is marrying a man you think you know. Sometimes there are surprises along the way. The success of mail-order marriages depended on a number of things--maybe honesty about who you were and what you believe would be number one.

Such marriages are not uncommon even nowadays. In fact Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Linda Ford (?)

“For another moment, she watched Hatcher, relaxed looking despite the bounce of the tractor. Yearning filled her soul. She didn’t want a man just to have a man. But she ached to share with someone. Be able to reveal her deepest feelings without fear of ridicule or condemnation. Hatcher, with his quiet patience, had allowed her that if only for brief periods.”
― Linda Ford, The Road to Love
