About Me
Linda Allen
Bio
I live in Tennessee and teach English, French, and yearbook journalism in a very small public high school(fewer than 400 students). I have a BA in English from Belmont University in Nashville and an MAT from UNC, Chapel Hill. I also have attended Bread Loaf School of English.
Before becoming a teacher, I was a production editor/copy editor at Abingdon Press for 20 years.
The cat in the icon is my very vocal Maine coon cat named Bitsy. My other cat, Missy, is a petite black cat.
Interests
most things medieval, reading, cross-stitch, cats
