A native of north Florida and a 35 year resident of Jacksonville, Linda O’Connell descended from a Florida pioneer family, the Davises of Wakulla County. She is proud of her heritage and seeks to unearth and write about the things that made us uniquely Floridian before condos and Disney. She is also the author of the children’s book, “Mrs. Shiny and Her Magic Tail”. Linda is working in collaboration with her graphic designer/Illustrator husband, Michael, to bring it to print.

Linda will read at 11:30 AM on Saturday, October 29 in the Rooftop Garden.
