Most people, throughout their lives, walk the tightrope between pure good and unadulterated evil, never finding their way to, or even believing in, either extreme. Perry Conners, a successful businessman being groomed for politics, is one of these "middle-liners" until Evil Personified, in the form of a once-trusted woman now using sex as her tool against him, methodically steals his every sleeping and waking moment, taking him beyond reason, dignity, even self. A physical and psychological fight for his soul, and his body is being waged, and Perry is, literally, the battlefield. His only true hope, also a woman, is determined to bring him through and beyond it to the Other Side . . . at all costs, even if it means her own sanity. Which will win this very real struggle? Good or Evil? It's just a matter of time.
Linda J. Alexander grew up with the 'seventies entertainment scene, fascinated by all the people on TV and in the movies, as well as the characters in those romance novels she couldn't put down. After doing the hustle, watching The Mod Squad, and listening to the Monkees and Herman's Hermits on her Duster's car radio, eventually she interviewed and wrote about some of those same characters--the entertainers who had earlier engaged her imagination. She also discovered a fascination for the Golden Era of Hollywood, when romance was romantic, stories had serious plot--and politics worked much in the same way as they do today.
Linda now entertains others with her writing. The most recent of 5 published books is REULCTANT WITNESS: ROBERT TAYLOR, HOLLYWOOD & COMMUNISM, on the market in 2008. The book chronicles the life of Robert Taylor, one of Hollywood's most handsome leading men of all times, from his small-town Nebraska roots to his death in 1969. Taylor's single most defining moment was a subpoenaed appearance in front of 1947's House Un-American Activities Committee in response to a tangible fear of Communism invading the United States. He was as popular as compatriots Ronald Reagan and even John Wayne, yet today he is incorrectly remembered most often as the actor who "named names." Linda's book sets the record straight and tells the truth of Taylor's life and that political "circus," his words for the HUAC.
Linda has published 2 other nonfiction books, THE UNPROMISED LAND, a biography of a Messianic Jewish couple, and DOROTHY FROM KANSAS MEETS THE WIZARD OF X, a look into the adult film world, as well as two novels of dark, sexy intrigue--UNTIL NEXT TIME and WEEKENDS IN NEW ENGLAND.
Another Hollywood biography by Linda is due out in 2011, A MAVERICK LIFE: THE JACK KELLY STORY, about TV and 50s film star, & long-time Huntington Beach, CA politician, Jack Kelly.
