Linda Saint Jalmes

    This author has been writing since she learned to substitute sounds with letters, and drawing since always, initially drawn by the scent of crayons or paint, later to give form to the universe of her imaginary world. Adolescence brought periods of flowery poetry that shifted to dark and tormented verses when she struggled with oral expression. For the past four years, poetry, illustrated tales, and novels have set the tone of her days, leading to the creation of the 'Children of the Gods' saga. Her work is a testament to her inner world and her drive for artistic expression.
