The Holiday Post

I always wanted to write a profound and meaningful holiday essay, something full of warm wisdom, insight, and cheery wit.

There is only one thing that truly says everything that is wonderful.

"Be excellent to each other."

About Linda Mercury

Hello! I’m Linda Mercury, a writer and creator of really unusual fictional worlds. More than anything, I care about compassion, connection, and intimacy. Prior to becoming a writer, I used to be a librarian, historian, and professional clown (but not all at once).

But then, something happened: September 11, 2001. After the attacks, I felt great sadness and even greater determination. I knew there had to be a better way to bring people together, make good times happen, and transmit the values of love and caring.

So I started my research. I read a lot, I wrote a lot.

Today, my life’s work is to share what I know about love, history, and passion with as many people as I possibly can. Sometimes, my work looks like very sexy paranormal romance novels. Other times, it is blog posts on history, feminism, and intercultural understanding.

Ultimately, all of my work is about coming together. Because life is way better when people tell each other the truth of who they are.

Now that you know a little bit more about who I am (and how I got here), you can drop me a line at LindaMercuryRomance@gmail.com or simply buy my books on Amazon.com.

Enjoy!
