Brief Synopses:
That Other Juana (Queen Juana I of Spain):Juana la Loca)
Juana's life was ruined by: her husband a blatant womaniser and political schemer; her father who betrayed and isolated her; and her son who imprisoned her for thirty years. Her spirited resistance to this lifetime of barbaric persecution unfairly earned her the infamous nickname Joan the Mad.
A Matter of Pride (Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor)
Charles V retires to a secluded monastery in Spain bringing memories of past loves, years in power, and military campaigns Characters tell tragicomic anecdotes and an all-knowing narrator makes sarcastic and funny observations. A wonderful story - sometimes tearful, sometimes very funny.
Wives & Other Women (Philip II of Spain)
Philip II embarked on several dynastic marriages to acquire a male heir, but was always disappointed and frustrated. The story of these loveless marriages and his compulsive pursuit of other women is told against a background of family turmoil and a court plagued by intrigue and treachery.
Linda was born in a small mining village at the southern edge of the Durham coalfield in the Northeast of England.
She had a lifelong passion for history and historical fiction and a five week independent tour of Spain in 1988 was a life-changing event. She became interested in Spain's history. She wanted to know more, much more. She studied Spanish and then started reading Spanish sources. Many exciting days were to follow in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, other public and private libraries in Spain, and the British Library in London.
During 2007-08 VeritasPublishing published her Spanish Hapsburg Trilogy: That Other Juana. (Juana la Loca). A Matter of Pride (Charles V, HRE) and Wives & Other Women (Philip II of Spain).
In 2008 she was elected a Full Member of The Society of Authors.
