Linda Kay Hardie may appear as the classic cat lady, but a conversation quickly revealed the deadly mind for dastardly deeds that she applies to her fiction.
Hardie is vice president of the Short Mystery Fiction
Society and is an award-winning author who has appeared in many anthologies, four
in 2024 and three in 2023.
She writes crime, horror, and fantasy stories but no
romance. She tried once, and everyone ended up dead. Tragic. When not writing
adult short stories, she writes stories and books for children, ages 2 to 12.
Linda writes recipes and is the reigning Spam champion for
Nevada (yes, the tasty treat canned mystery meat) for her blue-ribbon recipe.
Her first writing award was in fifth grade, when she won a first place trophy
for an essay on fire safety. In 2022, she was honored with the Sierra Arts
Foundation Literary Arts Award for fiction.
Linda is a member of Short Mystery Fiction Writers, Horror
Writers Association, Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, and
Cat Writers’ Association. She has a master’s in English from the University of
Nevada, Reno, where she makes a living as a freelance writer and as staff
working for Abyssinian cats.
