Linda Joy Singleton, Dead Girl Walking

“What amazes me is that most days feel useless. I don't seem to accomplish anything-just a few pages, most of which don't seem very good. Yet, when I put all those wasted days together, I somehow end up with a book of which I'm very proud.”

Brittany Hello!
Thank you so much for the add.
You may not remember me, but a few years ago I wrote to you about your Seer Series and you actually wrote back!! I was a huge fan and tore right through them and I'm still a fan today. :) Thank you for being such a down to earth author that I can truly admire.

Linda Janeen-san wrote: "What, exactly, is Dead Girl Walking about? Please respond."

DEAD GIRL WALKING is about 17 year old Amber who has such a bad sense of direction that after a near-death experience, she makes a wrong turn and lands in the wrong body -- of a popular, gorgeous, rich girl who just attempted suicide. Then Amber races against time to return to her real body before it's too late. THis is romantic, funny and a little mysterious, too.


Janeen-san What, exactly, is Dead Girl Walking about? Please respond.


Bradley Hello Linda, I hope you are having a good day! =)
