Linda Conrad | Why Do It?

I had every intention of writing a blog about my latest release for Silhouette Romantic Suspense, SAFE WITH A STRANGER (the first book in my new trilogy called The Safekeepers.) The Safekeepers is a series of suspense novels about bodyguards for children--with the fun addition of Mexican witchcraft and a family curse. Or maybe I could’ve blogged about connected books. That seems to be my thing lately. My last series for Silhouette was six books long! I just don’t seem to be able to write single books anymore.

Re: Linda Conrad | Why Do It?

What a moving story, Linda. My own mom just
passed away on Mother's Day weekend. She was
an avid reader who introduced me to many
romance greats like Victoria Holt and Daphne Du
Maurier. She too lost her sight sometime before
her death and was really lost without her books.

She always encouraged me to write my own
stories and never made me feel like I should
pursue a more "sensible" career. One of her
dreams was to see a book of mine in print.
Although she didn't make it that far, she did live
long enough to hear that I'd signed a contract for
the publication of my first novel. So I guess in a
way, her dream came true - and her lifelong
encouragement of me has helped me realize my
own dreams.

Thanks for a very inspiring story!
