About

Linda Strange is a Pushcart-nominated writer with roots in New York, Connecticut, Sweden, Norway, and Eastern Europe.

Her essays about Ukrainian and Russian events have appeared in Pangyrus, and her short fiction has appeared or is forthcoming from Freshwater Literary Journal, Glass Mountain Literary Magazine, Marrow Magazine, the 2024 Connecticut Literary Anthology, Bewildering Stories, and Litbreak.

Linda is a retired teacher of English as a Second Language and still visits her former school in Waterbury, Connecticut to teach lessons on writing about art.

She started growing gooseberries, black currants, and redcurrants to remind her of the summers she spent in the Finnish countryside and to satisfy her English husband’s taste for these beloved Northern European berries. In late June and early July, if she’s not at her desk, you can find her out picking, tipping, tailing, or in the kitchen making jams, jellies, or setting down cordials.
