Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.

After attending college studying English, Psychology, and Business Law, Linda worked in positions where she wrote and edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests, and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary fiction novels.

After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own businesses and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.

After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed her business after fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.

On January 1, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she realized the story wasn’t near complete. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of thirteen books in the series. Most of the series were published by a small publishing house. After the publishing house closed, Linda re-edited the series, gave the novels new covers, and self-published them.

When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”

Linda has also published a standalone murder mystery novel entitled, Murder Among Friends, a romantic suspense novel called, The Colors of my Life, and a short story as a part of a five-story anthology with other authors called Where There’s Murder, There’s Mystery. Her story is entitled, Lies Aren’t Forever. Another Romantic suspense called The Kidnapping has also just been self-published.

Heart Broken (Satan’s Devils MC #5) Audio Book by Manda Mellett

💛 ༻ •✨ • ༺ 💛 AUDIOBOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE 💛 ༻ •✨ •༺ 💛
Heart Broken (Satan’s Devils MC #5) by Manda Mellett
Genre – MC Romance
Listening Length – 14 Hours 20 Min
Heart
Crystal, my wife, old lady, and soul mate, is dead. There’s no way to survive, nothing for me to live for. All I want to do is to join her. I don’t want to take my own life, but if someone does it for me, so much the better. She shouldn’t have died, she shouldn’t have left me. My love for her fueling such an uncontrollable rage, it won’t be long before I upset the wrong person. I already have, but my club did me no favor, only banishing me instead of killing me.
Now here I am, a solitary biker out on the road with no brothers behind me, my only company—the ghost of my old lady. Then the cop starts calling me. And I start to live for those calls. My Prez would kill me if he knew I was talking to the detective, but somehow I can’t stop. Police and outlaw motorcycle clubs cannot—and do not—mix.
Marc
I rang to update him on the investigation into Crystal’s murder, my only concern to give the biker closure for the death of his wife. I didn’t expect to be talking to someone who was suicidal, nor that I would have to expose the loss in my own life to talk him down from the ledge.
I didn’t expect we’d become friends. I’m a cop, the natural enemy of the Satan’s Devils MC. They hated me when I called on them to help Heart, but if I couldn’t involve them, he’d end up dead. If it wasn’t for me, he’d no longer be breathing. But cops and bikers don’t mix. Feelings don’t even come into it. Even our friendship must come to an end.
This is a story of the process of grieving with violent and sexy scenes that may be upsetting to some listeners and should therefore not be listened to by anyone under the age of 18.
