Never Too Late To Dream
I believe it’s
never too late to accomplish one’s dreams. Some people have a bucket list that
has daring things to do or something they longed to do for years. It is never
too late and you are never too old to do something you have longed to do.
After raising six
daughters and believing it is never too late to dream, I decided to go back to
college. It was a scary thing to do and I don’t know why I was so worried. At
the age of 50, I graduated from college with a Theatre and Arts Degree. After
that, I performed for a concert series. It was unbelievably fun and enjoyable
until I got reflux and lost my voice. Feeling discouraged, I didn’t know what
to do with my life. But . . . when one door is closed, God opens another door
for you to walk through. And that was exactly what He did for me.
An interest in
writing engulfed me. So I went to the library and studied every book available
about writing. I wanted to write family friendly stories for all ages. So I sat
down and wrote a few books until I was brave enough to send one to a publisher.
At the age of 56, I became a published author and won an award for my first
book, which surprised and delighted me. After writing five historical romances,
I wrote 12 cozy mysteries and then wrote three swashbuckling romances. Since I was
a fan of Robin Hood, Zorro, and the Scarlet Pimpernel, I couldn’t help it. I
even wrote some non-fiction and a children’s book. Being an author has been an
interesting path to travel. The most recent series that I just completed is a historical
mystery romance series set in the 1830s. It is called A Willow Valley
Historical Romance. Each romance has a mystery to solve.
One Last Dance is the first book in this series, which
will keep you guessing until the end of the book. When Felicity meets their
charming new neighbor, she soon discovers that he is hiding his true identity.
Nicholas Adams is on a quest. When she finds out that someone is after a
valuable heirloom, a precious treasure found in her attic, her life takes a new
turn.
“This book has my
favorite genres: historical, romance and mystery. Although I enjoyed the
romance, what I liked most was the mystery. Intrigue and suspense kept me
hooked and I loved the air of mystery behind a few of the characters. It kept
me guessing to the end, and of course it had a sweet, happy ending. This is one
of my favorite books by Linda Weaver Clarke.” –Inishowen Cailin, Book Reviewer

Angel’s Serenade is the second book in this series. Each
day as Emmeline practices the piano, she doesn’t know the new doctor in town secretly
sits on his porch to listen to her music. As Emmeline gets to know the charming
doctor, they become intrigued by her neighbor’s mysterious behavior. Will they
discover his secret? And who is the leader of the River Pirates, who is causing
so much havoc?
“Clarke has created a sweet romance that will warm the
heart, and it’s wrapped up in fascinating yesteryear details of courting,
medical practice and river pirates. I highly recommend the book to those who
enjoy sweet romance with a bit of mystery.” –Author Gail Pallotta

In A Pleasant Rivalry, Angelica is surprised when she finds out that an old school chum
has returned to Willow Valley. Since she writes articles for the Chronicle and
Simon owns the Willow Valley News, they just happen to be rivals. The
competition is on. Who will be the first to discover the identity of the jewel
thief or the arsonist? To her surprise, Angelica realizes she is losing her
heart to her rival.
“I loved this
book! It was a great historical read and full of surprises. I
totally didn't expect what happened… to happen. The time period was an
interesting one and I love how the author intertwines historical events into
the story. It was a new and refreshing tale.” –Sunnie Reviews

Holidays in Willow Valley is full of surprises. This book is a collection
of six holiday stories, something that I hadn’t done before. What were the
holidays like at Willow Valley in 1840? While writing this book, I learned to
appreciate our holidays.
“This
book contains six short stories of different holidays celebrated in the 1840
time period. These are enjoyable stories to read any time of year, not just in
holiday times. The characters and the book carry Christian values, which I
love. These are very entertaining stories!”

I soon realized
that writing short stories was a pleasure and quite fun. So I decided to try it
once again. So I wrote the fifth and last book in this series called Tales of Willow Valley. It is a collection
of five “Love Stories.”
“If you are in the mood for some sweet, clean,
historical, romantic short stories then look no further. I enjoyed each story
and how the women are not sitting back waiting on a man, but are take-charge
women that start their own businesses, aren’t afraid to face ruffians, and
encourage women to fight for their rights. It is amazing what you can learn
when an author does research into events in the past to make sure their works
are as authentic as possible.” –Story Book Reviews
