About this author

I started out wanting to be a librarian and even did my work experience in my local library. I love the feel and smell of books and get a high when I have a new one to get my teeth into. I almost ended up as a librarian when I went to library school at Loughborough Uni and studied information science.

I am the author of six books and one short story including Woman on the Edge of Reality, LinkedIn Made Easy and 101 Handy Hints for a Happy Hysterectomy (no, I'm not joking!). I'm also the founder and CEO of the Hysterectomy Association.

My mantra is “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”

This quotation has been a guiding light throughout my life and I passionately believe that if peopl...more

Songs you can't dance to
by Steven Harz (Goodreads Author)
read in March, 2012
Although I love a good novel, I often find that short stories and poetry are easier to read when you are living a busy life. Being able to dip and out of a complete ‘chapter’ and knowing the whole by the time you finish is a very satisfying experienc...more

Linda Parkinson-Hardman Why thank you Sadie, and I likewise :-)


message 3: by Sadie

Sadie Forsythe Not a problem at all, Linda. I'm thrilled to make your acquaintance.


message 2: by Linda

Linda Parkinson-Hardman Gosh, what a lovely compliment to be paid Lucinda and thank you so much. I'm just getting to grips with Goodreads so still trying to find my way around and get used to the way it works so I'll probably stumble around for a while. I think the whole thing appeals to the fact that I'm very nosy and am fascinated by what people read, what the like and why they think that way. Linda :-)


Lucinda Dear Linda,
I would like to thank you so much for the friend request and i am very honored, as a fan and admirer of your works. As an amateur writer myself it has been lovely conversing with so many likminded people here on Goodreads both readers and authors, and it is most inspiring. Thank you once again,
Lucinda Xx
