Where is Julie Morgan?
In the small Maryland town of Morgan’s Landing, fourteen-year-old Julie Morgan is living in comfort with her wealthy family. She disappears on her way to school after a spat with her twin sister. Detective Jim Brady, married and the father of two, has been on the Morgan’s Landing police force for twelve years. He identifies a few suspects in the girl’s disappearance—Is it the fired school janitor, a paroled sex offender, Julie’s computer teacher…or his own teenage son? Jim can’t believe his son could be involved, but his wife is convinced the boy is hiding something. He needs to find Julie before the worst happens—and keep the peace at home.
Author Bio:
Linda Griffin knew she wanted to be a “book maker” as soon as she learned to read and wrote her first story, “Judy and the Fairies,” at the age of six. Her passion for the printed word also led her to a career with the San Diego Public Library. She retired to spend more time on her writing and has had stories of every length from short shorts to novellas published in numerous literary journals. Morgan’s Landing is her tenth novel published by the Wild Rose Press. In addition to the three R’s—reading, writing, and research—she enjoys travel, movies, Scrabble, and visiting museums and art galleries.

We asked Linda, why do you like being a writer?
Linda: I love it when two vague ideas rub together like flintstones and sparks start to fly, when the words flow freely and my characters talk to me and to each other while I take dictation. I like the plot twists that surprise even me and choosing names for the characters and fictional places. I like integrating bits of real life into the story, where they are transformed into something that belongs in that world. Unlike some writers, I also love editing. I like polishing my prose and working with my Wild Rose Press editor, Nan Swanson. And of course, there’s that magical moment when I open the box of newly printed books. A newer pleasure for me is having audio book narrators bring my words to life. Listening to Eric Priessman’s masterful narration of Morgan’s Landing was a particular delight.
