About the author
Linda Thackeray
32 books22 followersBorn in a village in Malaysia and delivered by underpaid midwife, and Ann, an irritable new mother (who wouldn’t be after 48 hours in labour?), X was named by a deranged grandmother with too much creativity for her own good. Once out of her pain-induced stupor, Ann decided to give her new daughter a proper middle name to avoid the risk of being put into a home later in life.
And so, she was called Linda.
Linda was an unremarkable child, save a few notable incidents, the discovery that a pot lid is not a substitute for Wonder Woman’s tiara (five stitches), four-year old don’t need to shave (no stitches but lots of toilet paper) and utility truck drivers are not necessarily qualified operators of their vehicles (seventy stitches).
At eight, Linda received religious enlightenment when she saw Star Wars at the Odeon Theatre and hence began her writing career.
For many years, the cages of various pets in the Thackeray household were littered with pages from Linda’s scribblings. Subjects usually ranged from whatever science fiction show was on television or at the movies. There was lots of Star Wars.
At 17, Linda moved to Sydney, Australia and was disappointed it was not occupied by Paul Hogan types with big knives and croc skin jackets but pot-bellied blokes with zinc cream and terry towel hats. Linda’s father (also known as that bloke who buys me stuff to piss mum off when she’s mad at him) settled in the town of Young, a community of 6000 people with no movie theatre.
Linda survived this period in the wilderness by raising kangaroos and writing original works but eventually got saddled down with the necessities of life and though she continued to write, work came first. Work, HBO, comic books and rent. It’s a kaleidoscope.
Even the kangaroos left out of boredom.
In 2014, Linda decided to start writing seriously again. Mostly because Australia’s strict gun laws make it very difficult to go postal in the workplace. Moving to Woy Woy, which is Aboriginal for ‘Big Water’, she’s dipped her toes into the Indie pool and found she needs a pedicure. Her books are labours of love and championed by her friends on Facebook.
Eventually Creativia Publishers, appalled by Linda’s inability to conduct any marketing, offered to publish her books out of sheer exasperation.
Supported by two cats named Newt and Humphrey, she spends her days trying to write novels while having unclean thoughts about Michael Fassbender and Jason Statham, sometimes together.

This is the sixth and last book in The Mimosa tales series. Suitor, by author Linda Thacker, is a middle length book with a very good pace that makes the reading quite fast. This romantic tale has a bit of everything since although what ties everything together is romance, we get other genres mixed in between.
The author has a good way of telling things; while reading the reader can picture in their mind what’s going on very vividly due to all the descriptions added.
Dialogues are well created, adding a sense of real life and well set for the time of the novel. I would recommend this book!

Suitor is book number 6 of the fascinating series created by the author Linda Thackeray. This is yet another chapter of the series "The Mimosa Tales" where the people of Mimosa and the city itself are at serious risk. This time, it's up to Mimosa's doctor, Alexandra Styles, to stop it. A stranger comes to town with a well-defined goal and that is to propose to Alex. With the passing of time, the true reasons why this happens to her are discovered.
This book is great. The author has brought together believable and interesting characters and an action-packed plot to create a captivating story. I will definitely read the rest of the books in the series.

As the author used to do in the past, in this book she added a well-developed plot and believable characters. The descriptions of the setting and events were perfectly done, helping the reader immerse in the story from the very beginning.
It is a short read that can be read in just a couple of sittings; I recommend reading it calmly so as not to miss any detail and also reading the rest of the books in the series because they are as good as this one.
A book that perfectly lets us escape our reality and immerse ourselves in a different time and place.
