Autorenporträt
Linda Hartley wrote her first poem at the age of ten, from which time she has aspired to be a writer. First studying dance and creative writing at Dartington College of Arts, UK, she later trained as a somatic movement therapist and psychotherapist. Linda has worked in these fields for many years, currently running professional training programmes in the UK, Lithuania and Russia. She also offers workshops and retreats that explore the relationship between movement, image and words. Writing has always woven through her practice, and her non-fiction publications have evolved from her work as a therapist and teacher: she is author of three books and editor of a fourth. The Broken Line is her first novel. Linda lives in England, near the North Norfolk coast. www.lindahartley.co.uk
