Linda Hubalek majored in agriculture in college, and featured in Country Woman Magazine about her wildflower business when her husband's job transferred them to California. She then started writing about the Kanas prairie she was homesick for and started her writing career.

Linda's first book, BUTTER IN THE WELL, written as diary entries, is about the Swedish immigrant that homesteaded her family farm. Readers wanted to know what happened to the family, so she continued the story with PRÄRIEBLOMMAN, EGG GRAVY (a pioneer cookbook), and LOOKING BACK.

Her next historical fiction series features pioneer women as they experience the Civil War firsthand. TRAIL OF THREAD, THIMBLE OF SOIL, and STITCH OF COURAGE, written in the form of letters, has a quilt theme because of a quilt handed down in Linda Hubalek's family.

PLANTING DREAMS, CULTIVATING HOPE, and HARVESTING FAITH tells her ancestor's story that changed their family history forever when they homesteaded on the unforgiving Kansas prairie.

Linda Hubalek and her husband eventually moved back home to Kansas, and she continues to research and write about pioneer women that made Kansas their home.
