Multi-faceted is the first word that comes to mind when describing Linda Carol. She is a registered nurse, but has been a two-time International champion clogger and clogging instructor and the Director/Choreographer of the award-winning Bayou City Cloggers. Her instructional tapes and workshops have helped hundreds learn to clog and buck dance, traditional American folk dances from the Appalachians. A stint in Nashville as a country singer/songwriter resulted in two Top 40 singles ("Love In The Fast Lane" and "Your Love"), a music video ("Love In The Fast Lane") and an album, "Songs From The Heart". She has multiple television appearances to her credit, including "Nashville Now", "Crook and Chase", "Country Today", "American Magazine", "Dance Fever" and "The Original Amateur Hour With Willard Scott". Her video was aired on the Nashville Network, Country Music Television, and a host of video programs across the U.S. and Canada. You can view her music video, "Love In The Fast Lane", by accessing launch.com.
Since songwriting is a form of storytelling, it seemed only natural for her to gravitate to the writing of prose. The idea for WINDSWEPT grew out of her love for history, and in particular, her interest in the American Revolution and the beautiful city of Charleston, SC. She has outlines for five more books and has just returned from New Orleans, where she spent several days compiling research for her next novel, an antebellum romance set in that city. When she is not writing or working at her day job, Linda Carol enjoys spending time with her husband, Bobby, and two children, Heather and Justin.
