Linda Warren
 A fourth generation Texan, Linda Warren lives a few miles from where she spent her childhood—a small farming/ranching community in central Texas called Smetana.
Ever since she was small she planned to be a nurse and attended Sam Houston  State University to achieve that goal. But her plan took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Nothing in life had prepared her for this, but luckily she had a wonderful man in her life (her high school sweetheart and own personal hero). With his love and support she learned to deal with a crippling disease at an early age.
She had always loved to read and when she had to be in the hospital, friends and family would bring her books. That’s how she discovered the wonderful world of Harlequin. No matter how bad she was feeling, she could lose herself in a Harlequin, knowing that whatever trials the heroine had to go through there was always hope, always a happy ending.

Secretly she was wondering if she could write a book, create the magic she found in those wonderful stories. The only credentials she had for such an insane idea was years of reading and sheer determination. She began by writing long hand in a tablet—testing her skills. Her husband then bought her a computer and she had no choice. She had to write in earnest.
After a lot of hard work, tears, perseverance . . . and more patience than she ever thought she possessed, she’s finally doing something she loves—writing. Since 2000, she has written eight books for Harlequin Superromance. Her book Deep In The Heart Of Texas won the Reviewers Choice Award from Romantic Times Magazine as the best Harlequin Superromance of 2000. On The Texas Border is a finalist for the 2003 Holt Medallion and Cowboy At The Crossroads is a finalist for the 2003 Golden Quill.
And those happy endings? She writes them now and hope they touch someone who needs a lift, a smile, or just a good feeling day. No matter what, Linda believes there is a happy ending—you just have to find it.
