It is with great sorrow that I share ~ We lost one of our own last night. Our beloved and lovely lady, Linda Evans succumbed to her battle with cancer.
She fought this disease like a tiger. A lady tiger.
Linda was always kind and generous with her time. She was never too busy to help a friend or respond to a fan. She guided many newbies and held the virtual hands of many old-timers.
Her daughter Jenny will be taking over the promotion of her mother's books. It would be wonderful if we could support the sales of LC Evans delightful novels to help defray her medical bills. If you are so inclined please post Linda's bookcovers and links whereever you can.
I have a feeling Linda is watching us right now.
We love you girl!

Too upset for words so I'll just send prayers.
Looking at Linda's books (thanks for posting that, Jeff) there was only one I didn't have and I purchased that now.

Oh, that's terrible. I was hoping to open this thread and hear good news. Thank you for letting us know? That was pretty much my own initial reaction right there. Think it was about July last year when Linda and I last passed a comment or two. I'd still hoped to see a triumphant return, but some things are not to be. |

I'm sorry to hear this...my thoughts and prayers to her family. LC was an early member of KindleBoards, joining in March 2009. Here's her introduction: Hello,
I'm new here and I'm looking forward to making a lot of Kindle friends.
I live in Matthews, North Carolina. I've been a writer for more than 20 years with many short stories and essays published in magazines. I've now branched out into writing books. I'm the author of Talented Horsewoman, a mystery featuring a well-meaning, but somewhat inept woman sleuth. Leigh McRae, the main character, is very involved with raising and showing horses--when she isn't nosing around trying to solve a murder. The setting for the book is subtropical Southwest Florida, land of heat, humidity, and gators. This book is not out on Kindle--yet.
Night Camp is a childrens' vampire mystery written for older middle grade readers, say ages ten and up.
I'm happy to report that Night Camp came out on Kindle last week.
From the back cover:
A spooky graveyard. A creepy basement. A pair of coffins.
Thirteen-year-old Shane Andrews hates summer camp. When his parents allow him to choose, Shane decides to pick the worst camp he can find. Night Camp must be terrible. For one thing, activities take place at night and campers sleep during the day. That can’t be good, Shane reasons. His parents will realize Night Camp is even worse than they thought and they’ll come back to get him. Then Shane’s plans for summer freedom fall apart. His cousin Brad, a boy with a huge collection of tabloid magazines, convinces Shane that two of the camp counselors are vampires. Shane enlists the help of Brad and a girl camper named Nicole. The three set out to save themselves and the other campers. Then Shane uncovers the secret of Night Camp…
Linda
Peace. Betsy |
