L. O'Donnell

After a career in Information Technology, Linda O’Donnell returned to her first love, writing. While learning her craft, she discovered Fictionary--software, training, and an online community that all help writers create better stories. She became a Fictionary-certified structural editor and an ACES-certified copy editor and now teaches writing and editing courses.

Linda is the co-writer of the latest in the Write Novels That Sell series with Kristina Stanley, Secrets to Writing a Romance. Her first contemporary romance, Behind the Scenes (Book 1 in The Northern Star series), is set to debut in 2025.

Linda considers herself a history geek, a student of genealogy, and a lover of old movies and office supply stores. Don’t forget the coffee and chocolate! When she’s not writing or editing, Linda has her nose in a book, a fan of just about anything with a happily ever after. She and her husband live in Arkansas with a menagerie of rescue dogs and cats.
