Linda Cousine is an author whose inspiration to write came to her in a hot flash. (Literally.) Unfortunately it also came with weight gain, night sweats, and the occasional "hide-the-knives," as she began to struggle through the minefield that is menopause. Her experience resulted in her book series, Middle-Aged Hottie, a tongue-in-cheek look about a fading model’s struggle with menopause, and loosely based on Linda’s life.

When she’s not busy arm wrestling Father Time, Linda can be found at her computer writing books inspired by the other dysfunctional aspects of her life. In order to connect with younger readers, (and relive her glory days) Linda also writes books for children and teens under the pen name Linda Rey.
