She taught kindergarten through third grade for twenty-one years in public schools. Linda is an MCA Distinguished Honoree. Linda's first book, Is Kentucky in the Sky?, published by Racing to Joy Press in 2012, won the Silver Medallion from MCA (Mom's Choice Award). Penn's second book, Hunter and the Fast Car Trophy Race features a young boy who loves stock car racing. During her teaching career and as a mother, she learned what kinds of books children loved to read. Her goal is to write books that children will read over and over again-books that stir their imagination. Clayton's Birding Adventure is Penn's third book. Her books inspire young children as they grow from emerging readers to fluent readers. Linda is now using her own life experiences with kids and her faith in God to write children's books. Penn's characters are modern and humorous, facing and solving real life kid problems.
