Linda was an editorial and production collaborator on the independently published cultural classic Maximum Plunder (2016) by Mike King, Paul Herring and Shawna Gore. Highly recommended for those with a passion for punk music and art of the years 1980 through 2010, the book features 1000 images of Mike King album covers and event posters for nearly every nameable and a few not so well-known bands of the era.

Linda is currently working on a biography of an American architect due for release in 2021.

You are invited to delve further into Linda's interests by looking into her recent adventure

as an Etsy store: Ainsi Soit Elle. The name of the store is taken from a book of the same title by French author Benoite Groult published in France in the mid-1970's. In addition to the phrase *Amen* (meaning *And so be He*) affirming statements of belief, Ainsi Soit Elle adds to the lexicon and translates to *And So Be She.*
