Linda had been writing for her own pleasure - poems, short stories, family memoirs - all her adult life, but aimed at a professional career when she moved to Houston, Texas in 1995. There she joined a local chapter of Romance Writers of America and attended "so many workshops and seminars, I could have had another Master's degree." Five years later, she received The Call from Harlequin Superromance, and her debut novel, Love, Money and Amanda Shaw, was published in 2001. She's written twelve more books for Harlequin since then.
On a personal note, Linda is married with three grown sons - all hero material like their dad - two great daughters-in-law, and two three adorable, intelligent, loving and delicious grandchildren

Who attended?

    • “ Linda shared wonderful, specific, usable advice on how to insert backstory! ”
    • “ Linda's informational talk was inspirational. I took notes and plan to refer to them in my manuscript when I edit. Joyce Brennan ”
    • “ great speaker, good tips. ”
    • “ Linda Barrett gave me a lot of good information about including too much information. It's opened my eyes to how a backstory can tamper the flow of "what is happening now." Practical and forthright, it was a pleasure to hear her speak. ”
