Linda O. Johnston
Bio
As a child, Linda O. Johnston was interested in writing, and she considers herself a born romantic. It's no surprise that she ended up writing romance novels! She earned a degree in journalism (with an advertising emphasis) from Pennsylvania State University, and worked at a small newspaper, in advertising and public relations. She returned to her studies and obtained her JD degree from Duquesne University School of Law in Pittsburgh. Her writing was put on hold while she attended law school, but it didn't take her long to get back to it.
Her first published piece of fiction consisted of some short stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. Her first novel (a romance called A Glimpse of Forever) was published in 1995. Linda gave up her full-time law job to concentrate on writing.
She's a member of the Orange County, Los Angeles and RWA Mystery-Suspense chapters of the Romance Writers of America, as well as The Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime. She taught romance writing at California State University Northridge College of Extended Learning.
On the personal front, she has two grown sons. She makes her home in Los Angeles with her hsuband and 2 Cavelier King Charles Spaniels.
