I'm on the radio!
Dear Friend,
Welcome to my author's website featuring my writings for adults. (My children's stories can be found at www. lindamoorekurth.com.) I'm delighted you've come to visit. Here's a bit about me.
My friends call me a “Renaissance woman” because I've practiced so many arts and disciplines. I like to say I’m a Jill of all trades and a mistress of some. I've been a waitress, a cannery worker, an art teacher, a school librarian, a weaver, a seamstress, the creator of the Elfery and the Elf Toy-of-the-Month, a toy business owner, a singer, and an interior designer to name a few. This background gives me plenty of writing material. (Ask me about my article in Country magazine describing the making of tin can footstools. Directions on this web site.)

Being a Renaissance woman, I write in several genres. I've recently revised and published my career romance novel, Home of the Heart, as an eBook. Told from the point of view from both Meg and Matt, it all about love---love for one's work, love for one's family, and eventually love for each other. You can order the book through Amazon. I know I sound like every other star-struck writer when I say I’m certain it would make a wonderful Hallmark Christmas movie. (If you think so, too, please let Hallmark know! Here's their link: http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/Others/userapply/default.aspx) I consider myself an environmentalist, and you'll find many of my stories have a nature theme running through them, including this romance.
I'm currently working on a memoir, God. the Devil, and Divorce, about my decision to leave my husband after twenty-five years. Since I'm a Christian, it was an especially difficult decision to make. My aim is to give hope to those who may be going through similar struggles, and to provide some measure of understanding for their Christian friends. I've begun a blog about my progress on this work. You can find it here on this website.
I love to travel to see new sights and experience other cultures. The banner at the top of these pages is from a photo I took in Castle Chillon in Switzerland, which dates from 1150. While taking a tour of this historical monument perched on a rocky island in Lake Geneva, I pictured knights and their ladies in their amazing medieval garments warming themselves in front of the enormous hearths. I tried curbing my imagination though, when shown the privy (toilet) which features a long board with several holes in it that’s suspended out over the lake.
My trip to Iceland in 1998 was particularly exciting, traveling there to see Keiko, star of the movie Free Willy, returned to his home waters. See my account of writing Keiko’s Story: A Killer Whale Goes Home on my children's stories site.
I am a descendant of Oregon pioneers and love living in the Pacific Northwest, but I've also enjoyed my time in New Mexico and Southern California. I guess you could call me a Renaissance western woman. Or would that be a western Renaissance woman? You get the drift.
I hope you'll check back here soon to see what's new, including my original recipes blog and reading the latest installment of my memoir blog.
Happy reading!
