Linda Baileys Dreams
  • Like many of us, Linda Bailey had varying
    dreams of what she would be in the future. As a
    child, Linda already showed signs of becoming an
    author. When Linda was growing up in the
    Prairies, she would often climb a tree where no
    one could see her. Here she would read away from
    the curious eyes of others. She also spent time
    daydreaming, a skill that is invaluable to most
    authors. In fact, sometimes Linda daydreamed too
    much and got herself in trouble. She also dreamed
    of becoming a worldwide traveler. Later on, she
    found out she could do both.

Linda Baileys Books
  • In Linda Baileys career as an author, she
    wrote many books for children. When Linda
    gathered enough courage, she submitted her first
    manuscript to a publisher. In 1992, her first
    book How Come the Best Clues are Always in the
    Garbage? was published. After the Kids Can Press
    publishing company published her first book, she
    decided to create a series of books based on the
    same character, a young detective named Stevie
    Diamond. Linda wrote several more books in this
    series. However, she wanted to write other books
    so she came out with a short series about the
    adventures with historic people. She has also
    written single, funny children's stories. As you
    can see, Linda Bailey is making a wonderful
    career in writing.
