LINDA STEWART-OATEN

Linda Stewart-Oaten’s story, Myrttie by Moonlight won first prize for fiction at the Santa Barbara Writers Conference several years ago but, as she discovered in 2005, there’s no thrill like having your work read before a Speaking of Stories audience. Some of her other short stories and nonfiction have appeared in Writing Humor (by Ian Bernard), The Sun, Kalliope, The Eureka Literary Magazine, Barbaric Yawp, The Chattahoochee Review, The Santa Barbara Independent, and in Braille published by the British Royal National Institute of the Blind.  After two years in Australia, she’s home in Santa Barbara, working on the obligatory novel.
