Linda Palund

Linda Palund grew up in a small-town library, hiding from bullies and the rest of the world. She was an ugly duckling and a misfit, but always knew she would blossom someday. When that day came, she became a model, then a songwriter, then the leader of a rock & roll band. Now she is taking all these threads, the weird, the wondrous, the fantastic and the tragic, and weaving them into her novels. I live in the beautiful heritage city of Bath in England, but I am from the beautiful city of San Francisco, the town I escaped to when I finished my miserable high school life in LA, California. I was actually raised in a small town in Connecticut, where the library was my refuge, but I soon found the Santa Monica Library in LA to take its place when I played hooky from school. I have known a lot of bizarre people and lived in a lot of bizarre places, and done a lot of bizarre things myself, so there is no end of things to write about. The truth is, I've been around the block a few times....
