ABOUT ME
Hmm, where to start? Well, I could tell you about my obsession with rocks, notebooks, and all things fantasy. Or that I have an amazing husband who supports and encourages me. Or that I love painting and roller blading and horseback riding. But short and sweet? I'm a writer who's in love with language.
​
My name's Linnae. I began writing somewhere around the 4th grade (Lots of cringy stories, bad spelling, the whole package. But hey, you gotta start somewhere). Thankfully, God's given me amazing teachers and supportive friends throughout the years—and I still stay in touch with many of them.
​
So what do I write? Fantasy, mainly. Specifically longform. I dabble in short stories, satire, and flash fiction, but I always come back to fantasy. And honestly? That started way back in middle school when baby Linnae read Eragon for the first time. Right now I'm working on a YA fantasy series called The Shadow Weaver trilogy. Book 1, Flight, is on submission right now. Book 2, Silence, is in the drafting stage.
​
On the editorial side of things, I realized as I was working on my BA in creative writing that I loved grammar. And syntax. And marking things in red. So what did I do? Picked up a second minor in publishing last minute. Was that a stressful senior year? Yes. Yes it was. But it seems to have worked out okay. I freelance edit on the side now (email me for info!) and work at Our Daily Bread Publishers as the assistant editor.
​
So what's my calling? To guide others on their writing venture. To create and publish clean fantasy. And to do it all for the glory of God.
