E181 - Linda P. Rose began her writing career as a high school senior in Los Angeles when she submitted a poem to a magazine competition and won second prize. During the decades that followed, she pursued a master's degree, a Ph.D., raised a family, and worked full-time as faculty and in administration in several research universities. During this time, she also gave invited workshops in Spain and Beijing and had articles published in journals. 

Linda Rose spent many satisfying times in Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz mountains visiting family and getting to know the Boardwalk, the mountains, terrific spots to walk and to dine.

Slowing down, Linda Rose founded and runs academies for women educational leaders. During the past few years, she was able to return to her first love, writing.  Her short mystery stories are being published and she is working on more. 

Today, I have the pleasure of reading Linda's short story, Disowning Death.
