Sunday’s Author Spotlight: Linda L. Picl

Today I’m excited to have author Linda L. Picl on the
Sunday’s Author Spotlight. Linda writes second chance romance and paranormal
novels. Let’s find out more about Linda’s books.

Sometimes marriage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Sometimes you have to take your own life in your hands and change it for the
better.

Elizabeth Peters knows this and when she meets Aiden Roberts and his
handicapped child, she realizes she’ll have a fight ahead of her if she wants
this man in her life.
Aiden Roberts has met the perfect woman, Elizabeth Peters. She’s gorgeous,
funny and loves his son and family. What more could he ask for? The only
problem is – they are both married to other people.

Despite the huge obstacle, Aiden is convinced they should be together. But is
the one perfect night they shared enough to make her want to leave her
marriage?
Elizabeth Peters wonders if it is possible to outgrow a marriage. Of course it
is and sometimes it takes all you have inside of you to make the change that
will make the rest of your life worth living. Elizabeth Peters and her husband
Vince are at a dangerous crossroads. His career is all he cares about. His wife
and family have been pushed to the back seat of his life, leaving Liz with the
realization she has to be the one to take control of her own destiny. Many
woman consider leaving their marriage but Liz knows she’s the one who’s going
to have end it. When she meets Aiden Roberts who has already lived an
incredibly hard life and needs her love, she knows this is her big chance to
have everything she’s always wanted. Meeting his family during an almost fatal
event, she knows she loves them all, including Aiden’s son. The problem comes
when she is dragged back into the fold after a devastating accident leaves her
husband also needing her like he’s never needed or wanted her before. Liz walks
a fine line between caring for another man and his family and taking care of
the man she’s been with for so many years.

Where does she draw the line between concern and love? Her past and her present
collides when Vince doesn’t remember their love is over, forcing her to relive
the past and possibly have to do so for the rest of her life. She has to find
the solution to everyone else’s problems before she can fix her own. Elizabeth
also has to decide which destiny she wants.
Aiden and Elizabeth’s story celebrates the fact that life is short, we all
deserve as much happiness as we can grab.  

Everyone felt sorry for Carrie Lawson. She was a sweet
woman who had nothing but a deadbeat husband and a dream of a writing career.
Happiness was something she had to fight for but when she met Logan Franks, a
local firefighter, her love life became a whole lot warmer until her very
existence was almost snuffed out by a person she thought she’d never see again.

Logan Franks is hot, and not just in looks. Being a volunteer firefighter
doesn’t just mean being on a calendar or turning girls on…it’s dangerous work.
Sometimes you have to go in and save everyone, sometimes even your worst enemy.
But Logan is above all that, he will save everyone he can.
He and Carrie will fight for a life together, no matter what, even if the
chances are high it will all blow up in their faces.

Angelea’s Dreams of Yesterday is a story about a young
woman who wakes up believing she’s a pirates wife. A pirate who’s been dead for
hundreds of years. Trying to convince her boyfriend she belongs to someone else
puts her in a fight for her life against a spirit that believes her story and
wants her for himself. See if she can remember the love she has in the present
and fight off ghosts of the past.

Tell us a little more about Linda L Picl?

Linda is a complex creature, she likes
everything from fishing to antiquing. My current obsession is the new
adult coloring books that are out and collecting mason jars. I want one in
every color. And most of all I love to write. 

When did you decide you wanted to become an author and
write your own book?

After we moved to remote area in Indiana about ten years
ago. I couldn’t find work and was bored and upset with my life. Suddenly
the bug hit me and I haven’t stopped since. Thank goodness we did move though. LOL.

What do you love most about being an author?

The ability to work at home at my own pace. Although
sometimes I get distracted and have to reel myself back in and do some
writing. 

What is the best thing that happened since you’re first
book came out?

I have met a world full of great people.

Tell us about your books? How did you come to the idea of
writing them?

My first two books were second chance at love books,
about two bad marriages that were doomed from the start and the two wonderful
men my heroines met. The newest is a paranormal romance about a women who wakes
up in a hospital believing she’s married to a pirate. She’s not by the way and
her frustrated boyfriend has his hands full trying to convince her otherwise.

Where do you go to write your books? And where do you get
the inspiration?

Inspiration is all around us. I see a commercial 
or hear a verse from a song and it hits me. I usually write outside or in
my living room on paper and since I hate to type, my daughter types it up for
me.

What are your future plans in writing?

Writing now? I’m writing a series based on Angel Bennett
from my last book ‘Angelea’s Dreams of Yesterday’. Whether she likes it or not
she gets pulled back into a paranormal situation and has to help her cousin rid
her bed and breakfast of unruly spirits.

Are you a reader yourself? And what is your favorite
book(s)?

I love to read, my favorite books are anything by Robin
Carr or Victoria Laurie.

What would you advice be to new aspiring authors?

Keep at it. It is not easy and it will turn out to be
totally different than you expect when you finally publish, but it’s worth it
to see your name on a book you’ve completed and hopefully tens of people will
read…LOL.

Linda L. Picl was born in Illinois and got her love of
reading from spending time in a tiny library under a police station in a small
town there. From there she went on to work at many of the libraries in suburbs
all around the Chicago area which only fired up her love of romance novels.

Following her favorite authors Robyn Carr and Nora Roberts she went on to write
sweet romance books and produced her first book ‘Next Time Love Comes’ and then
‘Solitary Dreamer’, both second chance at love romances. Not everyone gets
lucky on their first try at love.
Those are the types of books Linda loves to write. She has just published her
