Important appearance on vacation, 2010!

Linda with the directly descended granddaughers of A HEART FOR ANY FATE's main character, Lovisa King, at the 2009 King Family Reunion, held on the land homesteaded 168 years ago by their ancestors.

Frances King Ramsey, a descendant of rascally "Little Lute" in A HEART FOR ANY FATE, attended Linda's FIRE ON THE WIND slidetalk at the Tillmook Forest Center because she has ties to that book too! Frances was just seven years old and living on the Wilson River in the heart of Oregon's forest when the devastating fire of 1933 swept through. Of course she and her family had to evacuate.

Ooligan's launch party for their new edition of A Heart for Any Fate, held at the historic McLoughlin House in Oregon City.

Award-winning author friends Susan Fletcher and Virginia Euwer Wolff.
