Be warned, should we meet in person, and you have food, do not offer it to me unless you really want to give me some. I love food and candy, I will not turn it down. If you only wish to offer me some to be polite with the hopes that I will say no, don’t. I won’t hold it against you.
On to the bio.
First thing you should know is that Linton is nut-balls crazy. Well, maybe not stab you in the eye and kiss your dog crazy, but he hears voices. Fortunately, the voices haven’t told him to kill people. They do tell him stories which he then translates for you.
A little bit about his background. Linton is a U.S. Marine and served for ten years. He spent a little time in Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi freedom. From there he did a short stint as a security guard (which was actually not a bad gig). From there he utilized the skills learned in the Marine Corps to become a wind turbine technician.
Linton started telling stories through stick figure drawings in elementary school. That progressed to drawing comic book style art which then lead to being a student at the Art Institute. He wasn’t much of a reader until he was about 18 years old and found himself in the field during a training exercise with nothing to do for many hours each day. A fellow marine let him borrow the book, The Phantom (the one with the movie adaptation cover) and he’s been going strong ever since. Didn’t take long to realize writing stories is what he wanted to do. The lengthy part was building up the courage to get started. Who the hell was he to think he could do the same thing as all the wonderful authors whose books he enjoyed so much.
Here we are now. Welcome to Linton’s head.

Hi Linton,
Are the Linton Bowers who owns a home in SW Albuquerque? (Four digit street number starting with 3, but I won’t mention the rest of the address because I don’t know if this is going to post publicly on the blog.)
If so, I would like to discuss the empty parcel of land next to your home. (Public records told me the name of the owner, and Google results hint that it may be the same Linton as you, but phone numbers are harder to find, and it’s tough to tell for sure that I have the right guy.)
Please let me know either way. If that’s your house, I have some information on that parcel that I know you’re going to want to know about.

Greetings Linton,
I have really enjoyed reading both of the “Tuatha” series books. I am looking forward to reading more in the series as you write them.
I wasn’t a Marine, but I spent a year in the “wonderful” place known as “TQ”. I was Army for 27 years.
Keep up the good work and I will continue buying and reading them.
Linton
Hi Gary,
Glad to hear you enjoy the books. Sorry it took so long to respond. I usually only get spam comments so haven’t checked them in a while. Feel free to email me whenever, I’ll get back to you a lot faster there. Linton@lintonbowers.com
Cheers!
Linton
