Introduction Linda Merlino is the author of Room of Tears (July 2013), Hudson Catalina (2008 & 2012), and Swan Boat Souvenir (self-published 2003). She began writing fiction as a young mother on the sidelines of endless soccer practices. Linda wrote anytime any place. A manuscript filled a carton in the back seat of her car. The children have grown but her work continues still inspired by those early beginnings and the fulfillment of her writer’s dream. The author has a fascination with heroes and writes her fiction to honor ordinary men and women who react unselfishly in extraordinary circumstances. She extends her gratitude to all who keep us safe and free. Her hometown is outside of Boston. She lived for many years in New York City and more recently calls Connecticut her home.
