Author Biography
LINDA FINLAY lives on the Devonshire coast and is the author of eleven novels. From lacemaking to willow weaving, each one is based on a local craft which, in order to write authentically and place herself firmly in the shoes of her heroines, she has learnt to do herself. However, it is people and their problems that make for a good story and, with so much interesting material to work with, it is easy for Linda to let her imagination run as wild as the West Country landscape which has inspired her writing. Farringdon's Fortune is her twelfth novel and the second in the Farringdon series.
