<p>Hello! I'm Linda Mercury, a writer and creator of really unusual fictional worlds. More than anything, I care about compassion, connection, and intimacy. Prior to becoming a writer, I used to be a librarian, historian, and professional clown (but not all at once).<br />
<br />
But then, something happened: September 11, 2001. After the attacks, I felt great sadness and even greater determination. I knew there had to be a better way to bring people together, make good times happen, and transmit the values of love and caring.<br />
<br />
So I started my research. I read a lot, I wrote a lot. Now, seven books later...here I am.<br />
<br />
Today, my life's work is to share what I know about love, history, and passion with as many people as I possibly can. Sometimes, my work looks like very sexy paranormal romance novels. Other times, it is blog posts on history, feminism, and intercultural understanding.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, all of my work is about coming together. Because life is way better when people tell each other the truth of who they are.</p>
