Bestselling author Linda Castillo knew at a young age that she wanted to be a writer-and penned her first novel at the age of thirteen. Since 1999, she has sold over twenty books to Harlequin, Berkley and, most recently, St. Martin's Press. She is the winner of numerous industry awards, including the Holt Medallion, the Golden Heart, the Daphne du Maurier, and a nomination for the prestigious Rita.
In her spare time, Linda enjoys reading, showing horses, and barrel racing. She resides in Texas with her husband, four loveable dogs, two barn cats, and two Appaloosa horses.
