Captivating Fiction with Linda L. Richards

Enthralling tales are not difficult to find. But, in any medium, there are certain stories that move beyond the merely captivating. Stories that so capture the imagination, they stick with us even when the television is turned off or the last page is turned.

 Not all authors have the gift of sharing stories that keep our minds reaching back to them and creating situations and characters that seem to live and breathe. As a result, when we encounter a story – and a writer – that .connects all those dots for us, it’s worth remembering the name.

 Linda L. Richards is one such writer. Her diverse background and range of experiences span the realms of high-level design, conducting interviews with literary luminaries, critiquing and reviewing works of art, penning bestselling computer books, and even founding the highly esteemed January Magazine in 1997.

 Endings, one of Linda’s recent works and the first book in the series of the same name, has been handpicked by a major studio for series adaptation. That book features a cypher; a nameless hit woman whose own devastating life has led her to take the lives of others, but for money.

 The third book in that series, Dead West, will come out in September of 2023. A thrilling tale set in the American southwest and Washington, DC, the book not only brings our protagonist near to love as well as death, it also opens up more details about her former life and backstory and the journey that led her to the questionable life she leads when we meet her.

 The series has received almost universal acclaim. The three books that make up the current series can be read independently, but book one, Endings, sets everything up and tells the reader how this character got to this place in her life.

 “This action-packed, adrenaline-fueled thriller from Richards breathes new life into a genre dominated by brooding male protagonists,” said Mystery Scene of Endings. “Richards combines a damaged protagonist readers will root for with a twisted, whiplash-fast plot filled with layers of moral ambiguity,” said Publishers Weekly.

 Exit Strategy, the second book in the series, takes place against the backdrop of a high tech Silicon Valley startup while in the third book, Dead West, we spend some time in Arizona ranch country saving the wild horses of the American west.

 Beyond her own writing, Linda is a passionate advocate for the representation and empowerment of writers within the publishing industry. She belongs to several professional groups, and is on the National Board of Sisters in Crime. Through their collective efforts, the organization champions fairness, inclusivity, and the creation of a more vibrant and diverse literary landscape.

 To embark on an exciting journey through Linda’s upcoming projects and literary adventures, immerse yourself in her captivating world by visiting her website.
