Yucca Village is Linda Twist's third novel in her southwest series. She lives in Deming, New Mexico, the area chosen for the setting of the three novels. She has lived in six states, was born in East Millinocket, Maine, and retired from the Highway Patrol Communications in California. Her love for writing surfaced a few years ago when she found the time to write. She hopes to prove that romance/mystery fiction can be just as exciting and interesting as any other book. Her characters will grab you and won't let go until the novel has been read.
