Linda Felton Steinbaum is an award-winning, produced and published playwright. She is a member of the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights, the Dramatists Guild of New York, and the Writer’s Guild of America. Aside from her plays being produced in her native California, her work has been performed nationally and can be found in over 50 libraries worldwide. She has a Masters degree from the University of Southern California, is an avid dog lover, and supports local no-kill animal shelters. Over the years, she has taken several scent, or “nose” classes with shelter dogs as a way of training and socializing them.  Linda was introduced to nose work at The Pet Orphans, a private no-kill shelter in Los Angeles where she had been volunteering for years. After raising (and house training) her children, Carly and Glenn, she now shares her home only with her husband Bruce and their rescue yellow Labrador, Rex , who is the new Lab of her life.
