About the author

A love triangle of extremes has proven to be a solid base for my writing. From my roots in Alaska I receive strength, solitude, centeredness and respect for the awful power of nature. In Hawaii I found nurturing, a spiritual awakening, sensuality, peace and my heroine for my historical fiction, Wai-nani-A Voice from Old Hawaii. In proud California I obtained a degree in English Literature and a doctorate in urban savvy. I continue to enjoy opportunities here for intellectual stimulation, exciting contacts and friends. It makes a great base for exploits that I share in my travel collection Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales.
Embrace of the Wild is historical fiction based on the adventurous life of Isabella Bird, a woman who broke through social and physical barriers to become the best-loved travel writer of her day. (1831-1904)
My new-adult novel The Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon, is an action-adventure novel that takes you the high Sierra.

This is a handy guide for exploring the California coast. Linda Ballou's landscape descriptions touch the reader's senses and let you know she has walked these walks. I felt she was my personal travel guide, as she gives directions to the trail heads, views along the way, and great places to catch a bite to eat after your hike. There is updated information regarding trails impacted by wildfires. Linda's favorites jaunts will appeal both to those familiar and new to coastal walks. I'm taking it with me next time I visit California!
