Biography

Linda now looks for answers in her screenplays, many of which embrace neo-noir elements focused on mystery/thriller/crime dramas with tangled family dynamics. Her work is always peppered with undertones of dry New England humor.

Linda's TV pilot, BIG STICK, earned favorable feedback from The Black List:

Given the procedural elements lurking in the backdrop of this pilot, even in its current draft, it warrants immediate attention from networks for series development. Refining some of its more granular components would only further assist its attractiveness as a pilot script. That being said, currently, this draft also warrants staffing considerations for its talented scribe - the best fit being TNT’s ANIMAL KINGDOM or any procedural on any major network.
