Hometown Cooking with Linda Bond

Hometown Cooking
Author Linda Bond has worked as a television news reporter and anchor in Fort Myers, Orlando and Tampa Florida. She writes every day, under deadline, but has always loved losing herself in a good romance. Her love for writing fiction actually started in high school, but a thriving, busy professional life, along with five kids kept her busy for many years.

Entangled Publishing released her debut romantic adventure, Alive at 5, in July 2014.

She has also won 12 Emmy awards, a Florida Bar award and Edward R. Murrow award for her work as a journalist.

This former baton-twirling beauty queen from the deep south, now lives in Tampa Florida with her husband, adopted son from Cuba, two daughters and one stubborn Bulldog named Sanford.

Her recipe comes from her Cuban mother – in – law – who is the probably the best cook in all of Tampa Bay.
