Welcome to my website! I am delighted that you made your way here to my home page.
You may have noticed the change in author name on the new Shadowlands covers (and this website.) After much consideration, I decided to drop the last name making it simpler and cleaner. Going forward, I will be publishing all my books under my new name, Linda Kaye. You can see the new covers below – I think they are amazing!
December 10, 2024 will see the release of the first book in a brand new series.
Even the best-kept secrets eventually find the light of day.
Ivy has always felt like an outsider. With her plain features, affinity for plants, and loss of both parents by the age of sixteen, she struggled to gain acceptance in her small town of Wood’s End. When she leaves for college, she believes she’s putting her past behind her for good. Yet, fate has a strange way of overturning the best-laid plans.
Five years after leaving Wood’s End, Ivy finds herself back in her childhood home with a temporary teaching contract. Now the owner of her parents’ house, her plan is to renovate, sell, and move on as quickly as possible. Yet, while she’s eager to leave the town behind, the woods at the back of her house seem reluctant to let her go.
Past the pretty, sun dappled forest on the outskirts of town lies the deep and mysterious realm of the Woods Beyond. The woods tempt Ivy with their allure, but, as the locals are well aware, the woods are as perilous as they are enticing. Few brave the boundary which separates the Woods Beyond from the Woods Before, and those who venture deeper rarely return unchanged—or return at all.
When Ivy’s life is threatened, the only person she can turn to for answers is the school janitor, Jack Ross. As mysterious as the Wood’s Beyond, Jack harbors many secrets of his own. It’s only by discovering the truth about herself that Ivy can begin to unravel both Jack’s mysteries and those of the Woods Beyond. Can she bring herself to face the truth, especially when it will disrupt all her carefully laid plans? Does she even have a choice?
Secrets, fantasy, and adventure weave together in this tale of love, betrayal, and personal discovery. Song of the Woods is the first book in the series, Symmetry of Light.
I am excited to share this new series with you. For more information about the book and characters, be sure to sign up for my newsletter.
Looking for something to read in the meantime? Check out my other series, Shadowlands and The Dragon Archives.
Her life is bound to the throne. His is bound to a dragon.
An Ancient dragon is threatening Valoria, a country already fraught with tension between Cambrians and Rhymers. These are minor considerations to Lady Snowlark as she prepares for her marriage to Prince Valorious, but Lark is soon thrust into the middle of the conflict between both the Ancient and Rhymers when she is kidnapped by a Shadow Warrior. Enemies from the start, their fates are intertwined and the choices they make can either destroy Valoria completely, or bring about a new era of peace. 
Put aside everything you thought you new about dragon. The Dragon Archives relates the tales of Aaron Drake and his extended dragon clan as they seek to make their place in a world of humans.
Every dragon needs a maiden.
Keira is desperate to escape the confines of her small village life, but she never expected that her freedom would arrive on the wings of a dragon. Bound by a Dragon is the first book of The Dragon Archives.
