The Sunday Independent in London (Dec. 2003) said of Dark I: “Teens rarely need an excuse to stay up late, but The Dark by Linda Cargill (Scholastic 7.25) would give pause for thought to even the most steely-nerved youngster. A genuinely gripping horror story. Approach with caution.” School Library Journal (Jan. 1996) called The Surfer “a taut and evocative story” and said that “readers will become immersed in the challenge between good vs. evil.”
School Library Journal (Jan. 1997) said of Pool Party: “YAs who love thrillers may enjoy mysterious twists. The story has romance, a weeping ‘ghost’, a doll that changes facial expressions, a buried treasure, and more.”
Linda Cargill’s first adult novel, To Follow the Goddess, an historical novel about the Trojan War from the point of view of Helen, was published by Cheops Books. The Kirkus Reviews called the novel “a spirited page-turner” and a “delightful read.” Goddess placed in the National Writers’ Contest.
Earlier Linda won an honorable mention in the Atlantic Monthly Short Story Contest for Young Writers.
After spending a couple of years at Bryn Mawr College, Linda Cargill graduated from Duke University with a degree in English. She received graduate degrees in English and English Education from Duke and the University of Virginia. Briefly she taught high school English. She lives with her husband Gary, her son Kenny, her dog, Sabaka, and her Abyssinian cat, Putlitz.
