With plots involving twins, aliens, cheerleaders, ghosts, psychics and clones, Linda Joy Singleton has published over 30 midgrade and YA books. Her REGENERATION series from Berkley Books was chosen by the ALA as a 2001 Quick Pick Choice and WITCH BALL was nominated for 2006.
Linda has loved writing and reading for as long as she can remember. Her first completed novel was written in pencil on blue-lined paper when she was eleven. At age 14, she stepped up to a typewriter and spent a two-week Christmas vacation writing a 200-page mystery. And fifteen
years later her dreams of becoming a published author were realized, when she sold her first book, Almost Twins.
Her middle-grade fantasy series STRANGE ENCOUNTERS had three titles:
#1. OH, NO! UFO! - Cassie’s little sister is kidnapped by an alien.
#2. SHAMROCKED - based on Mount Shasta mystic legends.
#3. SEA SWITCH - a wicked mermaid steals Cassie’s body.
Her psychic thriller YA series THE SEER has four titles with more planned:
THE SEER #1. DON’T DIE, DRAGONFLY - Sabine psychic solves mysteries.
THE SEER #2. LAST DANCE - Mysteries are uncovered at a ghost festival.
THE SEER #3. WITCH BALL - Sabine gets a prediction of her own death.
THE SEER #4. SWORD PLAY Haunted by a ghost of the past.
#5 2007 Spying, a road trip, astral travel and murder.
Linda keeps in touch with young readers through online blogs, speaking at schools/libraries, corresponding with fans and reading terrific juvenile books by favorite juvenile authors.
When Linda is asked why she’d rather write for kids than adults, she says, “I love seeing the world through the heart of a child, where magic is real and every day begins a new adventure. I hope to inspire them to reach for their dreams. Writing for kids is a gift, a responsibility, and an honor.”
