About the Author:  Harvard MBA Linda Cardillo became an award-winning romance novelist quite by accident. She never set out to write romance novels.  She had never even read them until Harlequin, the world’s largest publisher of the genre, offered to publish Linda’s first book the highly-acclaimed Dancing on Sunday Afternoon.   Since then Linda has been hailed by Publishers Weekly as a “Fresh Face in Romance,” for writing smart love stories that are influenced by her exploration of growing up Italian in America and the evocative power of lovingly prepared food.  Linda is the mother of three children, lives in New England with her husband of nearly thirty years and prides herself on preserving family traditions, cooking recipes handed down by her family, and gathering friends and family every Sunday for her home cooked dinners.  To find out more about Linda, her life and her recipes visit www.lindacardillo.com [http://www.lindacardillo.com]
