The memoir that started it all. Linda's electrifying rise through clubs, dance halls, and concert stages — coast to coast, on her own terms.

Whether you're curious about the book, media interviews, or just want to say hello, I'm ready to answer any and all question!

The lights and the performances could hide a lot of pain — but not forever.
As the front of a dynamic six-piece band, Linda lived the dream. Stages, nightclubs, devoted fans across the Southwest. But behind the spotlight was a woman running from childhood trauma, drowning the noise with cocaine and alcohol, and chasing love in all the wrong places.

When her partner died and the band dissolved, her career and her life shattered. What followed was decades of grief, economic hardship, and the painful grind toward understanding why she kept standing in her own way.

Second Act, Third Chances is a memoir of raw honesty and fierce resilience — a story of damage, healing, and the courage to start all over again.

If you've walked through your own dark times and are looking for hope — this book was written for you.
