Hi! My name is Linda Jane Niedfeldt. That's my pen name as well, but my friends call me Janie. I've had an eclectic writing career. I've authored four historical fiction books for middle school/junior high students, penned a recent memoir, worked as an editor and photo-journalist for a small newspaper, and written several nationally published articles. A couple of articles even received national awards. If you'd like to read a few of my travel articles, click the icons on the Press page. Check out my memoir, based on my family's hike on the Appalachian Trail, at Psalms in My Backpack. To see my children's books, go to Books and click the icons. Visit my About page for more information on me and on my writing. Of course, you can contact me through my Contact page and order books with a credit card at Buy Books.
