About the author
Linda M. Williams
18 books60 followersLinda M. Williams doesn’t just write mysteries — she channels them. Her stories are a thrilling fusion of whodunnit suspense and supernatural intrigue, where strong, flawed women unravel secrets with grit, grace, and a little help from the other side.
For decades, Linda was a corporate powerhouse. But her true fascination lay elsewhere — in the whispers of mediums, the eerie truths behind psychic readings, and the haunting allure of shows like Ghost Whisperer. One reading changed everything: messages from her late parents urged her to write. It was a wild idea… but wild ideas make the best stories.
After retiring, Linda followed that nudge from the beyond and created JJ Gilbert — a psychic medium who solves crimes with intuition, courage, and a circle of loyal friends. JJ’s cases are tangled with emotion, danger, and messages from spirits who refuse to rest until justice is served.
Not one to stay earthbound, Linda launched The Caregivers — a sci-fi series starring Astra Newtown, a half-human, half-alien woman tasked with healing fractured planets across the universe. Astra’s journey is cosmic, but her struggles are deeply human.
Whether it’s ghosts or galaxies, Linda’s heroines are on quests for truth and transformation. They stumble, they fall, they fight — and through it all, they grow. Her books remind us that even in the darkest moments, light finds a way… until the next mystery calls.
