Linda's Story
I was pretty quiet and low profile in high school. I live in Clearwater, KS and recently retired from a nursing career. I have worked as a Travel Nurse around the states in many areas and finally settled into Research for the last 8 years and although I'm retired, I still work PRN.
I love to write children's books and have 3 published in a series called "Toado and Friends."
I also just published my first novel, "The Divorceketeer Club." ( Pronounced like musketeer) I have a registered trademark on Divorceketeer, but Classmates won't allow me to put that symbol in. It is now out on audio. You can download it at Audible.com. A Divorceketeer is simply anyone who has survived divorce. I'm currently trying to market Divorceketeer.
I remarried a wonderful man last year. It took us 11 years to the date to tie the knot. We just got back from a 2 month honeymoon in Alaska this past July 2014.

They have comedy and adventure instead of all the drama and conflict. My Facebook page is under Linda Wilson Brooks. I didn't know much about it and I have George's gold mining Facebook group attached so I haven't got all that figured out.
With my first marriage I had 3 beautiful children, 2 boys and a girl, but lost one of our son's at 4 ÃÂý months. My "life education" began after my divorce. After a lot of trial and error I finally met George in 2002. We now have 13 grandchildren between us.
I am a 10 year breast cancer survivor but I don't make it my cause or give my scars much thought or energy.
I have designed the best breast cancer T-shirt for anyone who is interested.
I am anxious to start catching up with all my friends since I'm "retired," and have so much free time. You know?
