Sometimes you want to write a series but you don’t want to use the same heroine and hero for each book. And no reason why you should.

Linda Wisdom created a series with a different witch in each book, but she’s also kept the series connected just enough to invite the reader to buy all the books, but they also can stand alone.

Discuss on a series with multiple main characters and what it takes to make them separate yet connected.

Linda Wisdom was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California. She majored in Journalism in college then switched her major to Fashion Merchandising when she was told there was no future for her in fiction writing. She held a variety of positions ranging from retail sales to executive secretary in advertising and working for a personnel agency.

Her career began when she sold her first two novels to Silhouette Romance on her wedding anniversary in 1979. Since then she has sold more than seventy novels and one novella to four different publishers. Her books have appeared on various romance and mass market bestseller lists and nominated for a number of Romantic Times awards and Romance Writers of America Rita Award.

She lives with her husband, Bogie, her spoiled rotten Chihuahua/Yorkie, Barney, a equally spoiled mini white Schnauzer, Syd, yet another spoiled parrot, and Florence, her tortoise with attitude in Southern California.

A number of Linda’s book backlist, including her Hex paranormal series, has been optioned for film and television.

She is a two time Rita finalist
