Linda Fitzgerald grew up in Garrison Keillor country, in locales that ranged from the Twin Ports of Duluth-Superior to the mining and mill towns of Michigan’s upper peninsula. After graduating from Northern Michigan University, she was lured downstate by a fellowship at the University of Michigan. With master’s degree in hand and a national recession raging, she spent several years job hopping—doing brief stints as a junior magazine editor, a newspaper reporter, even a script writer for sales seminars—and consoled herself in off hours by devouring mysteries.
Ultimately, she found her professional home as senior copywriter in an ad agency and, from there, went on to launch her own one-woman firm. Thirty years and thousands of client projects later, she decided the time had come to take on a new challenge and revive a longtime, long-postponed personal goal: writing a mystery novel. She crossed that item off her life list with the publication of Death at the Doorstep, the debut adventure of Ann Arbor freelance writer and amateur sleuth Karin Niemi. Her second novel in the series, A Superior Way to Die, is set in Michigan’s upper peninsula.
