Linda Tiernan Kepner has loved genre fiction - science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and romance - since she was a child, although not much was available in "serious northern" New York State. Except for Canadian television and books available in school libraries, there was none to read - so she wrote her own.
Linda's science fiction and fantasy short stories have appeared in Absolute Magnitude magazine and anthology; Reality's Escape; Sorcerer's Apprentice; Dreams of Decadence; and the anthologies Little Shop of Poisons and Potions, The Apothecary on the Street of Dreams, The Life and Times of Griswald Grimm, Decopunk, Beyond the Ballroom, Just One Look and The Vampire Super Pack.
Linda's books are available from their publishers, commercial book and e-book retailers (including your local bookstore, via their distributors), and Linda's author table at various events. She released a (well-reviewed!) contemporary romance, Peaceful Easy Feeling, in October 2020. The Salem Scholars series featuring Anna Blunt, The House of the Past, The House of the Present, and The House of the Future were released in 2020-2022. Linda's science fiction story set in the "Planting Walnuts" universe, Out Far Enough, was released in September 2023. The OFE sequel, A Land to Treasure, will be released in 2025. Another contemporary romance, Laura's Love, is in the works.
Sometimes, Linda's stories take the "happy ever after that didn't happen" and FIX it.
