Linda Pendleton

Within this book, As Light as a Feather: Spiritual Tidbits to Ponder, Linda Pendleton shares a number of her nonfiction writings, most with a definite underlying theme of spirituality, and even what many may prefer to call new age or new thought. Actually there is nothing "new" about any of it. Linda has enjoyed blogging for several years and uses As Light as a Feather as another avenue to share inspiration and food for thought. She writes of near death experiences, spirit guides, mediumship, angels, reincarnation, UFOs, spirituality, meditation, grief, life after death, spirit communication, and other areas of metaphysics and the paranormal, in such a way as to lend credibility and normalcy to spiritual experiences. Linda Pendleton, an award winning author, has written several nonfiction books, including the now classic book on spiritual communication, To Dance With Angels; cowritten with her husband, Don Pendleton; and Whispers From the Soul by Don and Linda Pendleton. She is author of A Walk Through Grief: Crossing the Bridge Between Worlds; Three Principles of Angelic Wisdom; and other nonfiction books. She also writes novels, including the Catherine Winter Series; Corn Silk Days, Iowa 1862; The Unknown; Sound of Silence; and Roulette: The Search for the Sunrise Killer by Don and Linda Pendleton; Deadly Flare-Up; and The Bold Trail, A Samuel Garrison Western.

"Whenever I am confronted with death, I cannot help but be aware how fragile life is and how vulnerable we are. Everything can change in a split second." Catherine Winter, Private InvestigatorBook Two of the Catherine Winter Series. On an early spring morning in Los Angeles, the badly beaten body of USC professor of astronomy, Frederick Holloway is found outside Griffith Park Observatory. In their hunt for his killer, Homicide Commander John Anderson and his detectives must determine if the professor is the victim of a hate crime, a random attack, or a premeditated killing. Found in Holloway's wallet is a business card belonging to Catherine Winter, Private Investigator. Catherine does not know why this stranger has her business card. The mystery surrounding his death begins to unravel as his significant-other, bestselling author Andrew Bartain hires Catherine Winter to locate Frederick Holloway's son, and to find his killer. In the search for truth and justice, the images of the victim and persons of interest become fractured and must be meticulously and precisely put together into a solid pattern to find his killer." Linda Pendleton's first private-eye novel is a brilliant debut. Shattered Lens is good enough I hope it becomes a series." Richard S. Prather, Author of the Shell Scott Mystery Series"I am becoming hooked on Catherine Winter. I found I didn't want to put Fractured Image down since I wanted to know the ending of all the intrigue. I hope Linda Pendleton will continue with this series." E. Cook

"Hollywood is glitter and gutter. Some make it to the top and stay there, basking in the splendor of it, while others hit bottom and are engulfed by the ugliness of it." Catherine Winter, Private Investigator The stalking of two young professional print models leads private investigator Catherine Winter into the dark and dirty shadows of Hollywood=s entertainment elite. Portraits of these people become distorted and out of focus as murder, pornography, illicit drugs, and blackmail, color the view while Catherine searches for truth and justice. In her long career as a Southern California private investigator, Catherine has seen it all and does not flinch when up against the criminal world. She is determined, open-minded, and relies on her intuition in investigative work. "Linda Pendleton's first private-eye novel is a brilliant debut." Richard S. Prather, Author of the Shell Scott Mystery Series"What makes the book so pleasurable to read outside of the brisk pace is that nothing comes easy for Winter. She has to "earn" it in the same way that Linda has earned her right to sit at the top with today's other crime writers. The inside look at Hollywood and surrounding areas rings with authenticity."
