Thriller Suspense Mystery

Linda Guyan's love of mysteries began with the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, as well as the tales of Edgar Allen Poe. 

That love of the mysterious became a lifelong passion that eventually led to crafting her own tales of murder and suspense, often adding a touch of the supernatural and genealogy. Through the years, her writing expanded to include poetry, short stories, novels, and screenplays. 

Her interests in mystery, suspense and the supernatural have made The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson her favorite novel (as well as the adapted 1963 film, The Haunting). A few of her favorite authors and novels include Marlys Millhiser for The Mirror, Judith Hawkes for Julian's House and Graham Masterson for The House That Jack Built. Ms. Guyan's avid interest in genealogy have made Fiona Mountain and Sarah Stewart Taylor her other favorite authors for their genealogy mysteries (Fiona Mountain for Natasha Blake, Ancestor Detective; and Sarah Stewart Taylor for Sweeny St. George). 

Ms. Guyan's journeys have taken her to England, France, Italy and Canada. England stands out as her favorite country which is also the land of many of her ancestors. In the United States, Michigan, specifically the Upper Peninsula region and Mackinac Island, have special memories of numerous "Somewhere in Time Weekend" events. 

Ms. Guyan was born, raised and still lives in So. California U.S.A.
