Coming from a large family of 10 children, Linda heard her parents, grandparents, siblings and other relatives telling tales during family visits and family functions as she grew up. Linda joined the Police Department in Chicago and heard tales on the streets daily. Today she has retired from the Chicago Police Department and surrounds herself with giggling grandchildren who love to hear her tales. Linda D Griffith is The Fictician.

"How to Prosper in Difficult Economic Times" is for everyone born without a silver spoon and without a family member whose name adorns one of the buildings at the nearest Ivy League school. This writing is for anyone who has faced or is facing hardship, stress, or hopelessness of a financial nature. If that's you, I encourage you to continue.

It's a time of passion and confusion. Virtue is barely holding down its petticoats. People are bursting their corsets with unbridled desire. It's 1885, and the typewriter and the suffrage movement are sending things topsy-turvy. In the midst of it all, five ambitious New Women and one Newish Man struggle to find their way. Miss Mary Barfoot runs a school for secretaries with her young lover, Miss Rhoda Nunn.
