I wanted to touch on a topic near and dear to my heart as I have to deal with it so much in my agency. In his pocket coaching, I cover the topic at a high level as an introduction.

Hi! My name is Linda Loegel Hemby. I live in rural Angier, NC and I write historical fiction with an eye to making history fun and interesting as each of my books focuses on one young man or woman and how he or she is affected by the particular era he is in. I have nine historical fiction novels, working on my tenth. My biggest problem is getting them out there so people will know about them. With Charlie's help, I started a new website to replace my outdated one. It is lindaloegelhemby.substack.com. Most of my books are under Linda Loegel, then I remarried at age 79 so now my name is Linda Hemby, but I didn't want to lose continuity with the name Loegel; hence, Linda Loegel Hemby. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
