When my daughters were young, I learned that some families use a secret word system for protecting their children from potential abductors.

Linda: A mother’s job is to keep her kids safe, and at the same time, confidently send them into the world. WOW: What was the inspiration for Almost?

If you haven't read her story, Almost, click on through here and then come back to hear how Linda writes her winning stories. She lives in Northbrook, Illinois with her family and more books than she can ever possibly read. Linda holds master’s degrees in social work and developmental psychology and is passionate about the need for accurate and accessible mental health information in children’s literature. Linda Davis is the author of Food Fight, a forthcoming middle grade novel in which an overnight class trip becomes a survival mission for a boy living with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), a little-known eating disorder often characterized as “extreme picky eating.” Food Fight will be published by Regal House Publishing in 2023.
