A new middle-grade book!

I’m so excited for you all to meet John, the narrator of FALSE FRIENDS, my new middle-grade mystery coming Fall 2027 from Regal House Publishing.

False Friends is contemporary fiction with a pinch of magical realism steeped in old Nordic folktales. Eleven-year-old John is stuck being babysat by his grandpa, his somewhat-estranged Morfar, for six entire weeks while his mother excavates a maiasauru

Quotes by Gina Linko (?)

“Once you are no longer afraid, once you are no longer prisoner to the what-ifs and the if-onlys, there's a pocket of calm in the middle of the craziness. As if you can see things as they really are instead of just how you wish them to be, or how they could be, if this place - this life - wasn't so messed up, so contrary.”
― Gina Linko, Flutter

“I think some things – great things, awesome things- only come around once in a long while, and you gotta snatch 'em up. Hold them close. 'Cause you won't get anything quite that rare and special again anytime soon.”
