Linda Wilgus grew up in the Netherlands in a house full of books and has lived in Italy, Belgium and the United States before settling in the UK. As a child she wanted to be an explorer, a traveller or a writer and she considers herself very lucky that, writing historical fiction, she gets to be all three. A graduate of the University of Amsterdam, she worked as a bookseller and knitting pattern designer and her short stories have been published in various literary magazines, including Zone 3, J Journal, Reed Magazine, Kestrel, Yemassee and The Fourth River.
