Linda Mahkovec is the author of The Christmastime Series and several other books. Themes of love, family, and home dominate her stories, and though they may be set against the backdrop of war, or deal with the disappointments of life, the overall feel is uplifting and hopeful. One thread that runs through her work is that of the female artist -- whether she is a painter, a gardener, or simply someone who lives creatively and seeks out a life of beauty and meaning.
Mahkovec was born and raised in a small town in Illinois. She then spent several years in the San Francisco Bay area and Seattle, and for the past thirty years has lived in New York City. She has a PhD in English, specializing in Victorian literature.
