A love triangle of extremes has proven to be a solid base for my writing. From my roots in Alaska I receive strength, solitude, centeredness and respect for the awful power of nature. While living in Hawaii I found nurturing, a spiritual awakening, sensuality, peace and my heroine for my historical fiction, Wai-naniA Voice from Old Hawaii. In proud California I obtained a degree in English Literature from Northridge University and a doctorate in urban savvy. It makes a great base for exploits that I share in my travel collection Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales. I am proud to be the adventure travel expert for the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. My guide book Lost Angel in Paradise takes readers on my favorite daytrips from Malibu to Mendocino. I just released Embrace of the Wild  an historical novel inspired the adventurous life of Victorian age travel writer Isabella Bird  www.LindaBallouAuthor.com.
