About Linda Ellis
Linda Ellis started writing poems as a child, a talent inherited from her Irish grandmother. She grew up in Florida and then lived in New York for several years. However, her southern roots kept calling her home so she settled in Georgia where she now lives with her family and a menagerie of pets. She spent years working in the corporate world, but after her first poem was shared on a syndicated radio program in 1994, an alternative career began to emerge and she soon came to the realization that her true passion was in creative writing.

Beautiful.
I was sent a daily devotion that had a link to your website and I read the poem “The Dash”. I think I had read it some place before and I liked it very much. You are a very creative and inspiring author. I live in China serving “The Boss”. I have always been an active child. I hit the ground running and since becoming a follower of the Son; I have been running “the race” every since and my life is full of joy (and sorrows that He heals) and love (which overcomes all the hatred I see) and meaning (which surpasses the meaningless that King Solomon) talks about. Truly life is what you make in the space of the dash. I hope that I can meet your some day either here<,There< or in the Air<, Thank you for your work! In HIM<< Trudy e
