Linda Chaikin
Linda Chaikin (born 1943) is a Christian fiction author with a focus on historical fiction.[1] She sometimes publishes using the name L. L. Chaikin.
Chaikin was the youngest of 10 children and her father died shortly after she was born. She wrote her first full-length novel with pen and paper at the age of 14 - this novel was later rewritten as Wednesday's Child, part of the Day to Remember series.
She met her husband, Steve, in a Bible study, and they were married 6 months later. They both went to Multnomah School for the Bible, now known as Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary in Portland, Oregon.
