Linda S. Browning worked for the State of Michigan, Dept. of Mental Health for twenty years. Relocating to Tennessee in 1989, her career continued in the Social Work profession. She is the author of Leslie & Belinda Mysteries and Parlor Game Mysteries. She is also the author of a stand alone book, Pickett House. She is a first and second place winner in a short story contest published in Mystery Times Ten 2013 and Mystery Times 2015. Reader’s Favorite has given five star ratings to her books, Pickett House, Hanging Tobacco (book #1 in Parlor Game Mysteries), and The World’s Longest Yard Sale (is murder) (book #4 in Leslie & Belinda Mysteries. She resides in a retirement community in Middle Tennessee with her husband of forty (plus) years and a thirty (plus) year old Amazon parrot.

Two widows living in a retirement community in Middle Tennessee are not content living in the paradise known as Fairlawn Glen. Social activities and rural beauty are not enough for Leslie & Belinda. Leslie, in particular, finds paradise to be boring, and she sees mystery and life threatening peril everywhere. When the annual Highway 127 yard sale starts in August, and runs right through the Glen’s closest city, the congestion and carnival-like atmosphere has a Leslie & Belinda Mystery written all over it. When Leslie happens upon a body left in a shed like so much yard sale detritus, she endeavors to solve the murder along with best friend, Belinda. After all, as Leslie states, “When people find a dead body, those people have the responsibility of finding out how and why that person ended up dead.” Leslie’s eight pound Maltese-mixed-with-some-other-kind-of-small-dog is right in the middle of the mystery and peril—as always.
