I was born in West Virginia, but grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. The neighborhood kids met on my front porch where we held The Triple S Club. One "S" stood for Sewing. One "S" was for Stamp collecting. Of course, the best "S" was for Story writing. We wrote anything we wanted and read our stories aloud. It was great practice for a future teacher/writer!
After my children were born, I spent happy times reading picture books to them. One day I thought, "I'm sure I can write a picture book myself." It turned out to be harder than I thought, but I kept at it after receiving an editor's letter stating "We are holding your story for possible future publication." I was hooked!

Quotes by Linda Gondosch (?)

“The "Indians" knew the destruction of the tea had to be finished by midnight--not one minute later. Destroying the tea was against the law. The men were defying King George III of Great Britain. They could be tried for a crime against the government, thrown into jail, and hanged. Why would they risk their lives just to destroy a cargo of tea?”
