Root, Russ

J. D. Root is the pseudonym of historical novelist Linda Root. She lives in Yucca Valley, California where she was the supervising Deputy District Attorney involved in high profile prosecutions which gleaned the attention of the media. Since leaving the practice of criminal law due to hearing issues, she has published five traditional historical novels set in the times of Marie Stuart, Queen of Scots and the early reign of James I. During 2013 she completed theNaNoWriMo challenge in an experience she equates to a HALO jump into another timeslot while wearing a Fentanyl patch.
