God’s Prescription for the Tears of Life

Linda Windsor is an award-winning author of nineteen historical and five contemporary novels who lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A former professional singer, musician, and ABA writer, Linda gave her music and writing over to God with initial protest but without regret.

Linda writes both historical and contemporary romance at her restored late 18th century home. Although she lost her husband at Christmas in 2004, Windsor has been blessed to still have a full house. In addition to her two adult children, her mother lives in a mother-in-law wing. There are any number of friends and family always dropping by—usually for meals—and an assortment of stray cats have also made their home at Fort Necke. The key phrase in the Windsor household is “the more the merrier!” Another favorite sign is posted inside, reading “Registered Historical Nut House.”

In addition to writing, Windsor works part time as corporate comptroller in the family business of electric motor sales and service. Yes, she has worked out in the repair shop on motors—grease and all—as well as on a computer in the office! After all, she grew up in the business her parents started almost 50 years ago in an old barn shared with race horses. She can’t say her degree in elementary education has exactly furthered either of her careers, unless one counts stimulating her love of books and history. But writing is her love, followed by music. Linda sang and played guitar and keyboard in a country/old rock and roll band in the 80’s with her late husband. They had a wonderful life together as heartmates, soulmates and song-mates.
