After a long, successful career as a freelance advertising copywriter, a magazine columnist, and contributing writer for various international and domestic magazines, newspapers and university textbooks (1990 to 2015), Linda Westphal published two works of fiction in 2015, THE HERMIT BOOKSTORE, a novella, and THE MEDIUM, a short story.
Her fiction stories include characters who explore life events that cannot be explained but are true based on firsthand experience, such as help from people who have passed on, interactions with guides and angels, intuition, and mind-body-spirit topics.
Linda Westphal also writes short essays under the pen name of Shine Redwood. She is a Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki Master.
Linda lives in Sacramento, California, with her family and enjoys travel, tea, food, sunny days, friendly people, and a good story.
