About The Neon Houses
The Neon Houses takes place in New Chicago, Incorporated, circa 2087. The times find New Chicago and its nearby neighbor, Gang Territory, to be vastly different worlds. The heroine, Noel Kennedy, is an expert at navigating both worlds. When her young protégé is found murdered on a back street in what’s left of a dwindling gang society, Noel is compelled to bring attention to a crime nobody wants to solve.
Noel, her mother, and people like them, are products of a 67 year old, unexplained phenomenon that has left them with sinister gifts. Noel will risk revealing her gift to get justice for Zarah Fisher.
The Neon Houses is a dystopian novel that fascinates with the opulence of everything futuristic 2087 has become. Autoplanes, body planes, and flying buses are the norm. Robots, and androids that look human, cook, clean, and serve. On the other hand, the reader gets a glimpse into the world of the city’s most poor, destitute, and ignored.

Upon retiring, Linda began a new career as an indie author. The tale of The Neon Houses rolled around in her head until it turned into a whole society of “the haves and the have-nots”. Once the idea got rolling, she worked nonstop until she’d finished the first draft. Now, writing is her real job!

Writing is Like Dancing
Lately, Linda has been exploring poetry and short stories over at “The Long and Short Stories of Life” where she blogs (https://lindamims.com). The poem featured below is a sample of what you’ll find there.
Writing is Like Dancing
Writing is a little like dancing
Words prancing across the stage
Doing a quick step into alliteration
Placing our skills on the page.
Early chapters, our seductive waltzes,
By mid-story bring pent-up emotions,
That climax unto our scenes in a tango
Of wild need and hungry devotion.
Writing is a little like dancing
Each blow matching counter blow,
And as we choreograph the fight scene
Words reveal truths we didn’t know.
Dancing, writing, writing, dancing
Each with its own special skill,
Metaphor, simile, sidestep, sweep
Both with the power to thrill!
