I collect Pocket Dragons because the little guys have such attitude, stuffed animals that call to me, rubber duckies, and I also have a collection of figurines in bubble baths. I'm a sucker for anything that smells good and have a collection of body creams and body washes to prove it. Which means I pretty much smell like a bakery.

That'll teach Fluff and Puff to go visiting the neighbors!
Who I'd like to meet: Who am I? I've been a published author for 28 years and never stopped learning more about my craft along the way. Because now I've written the book of my heart. The book I've wanted to write for some time. My fantastic agent has kicked me out of my comfort zone and a wonderful editor saw the promise in Jazz and her witch sisters. As a result, Jazz Tremaine and her fellow witches were born.

Word about Hex in High Heels coming out October, 2009 "Hold on to your broomsticks! Sassy, smart and so much fun!" -
Terri Garey – bestselling author of You’re The One I Haunt
Word about Wicked By Any Other Name now available in your bookstores Filled with charming characters, a clever plot, and loads of sizzling magic, Wicked by Any Other Name is pure fun! Jazz Tremaine, the heroine in Wisdom’s last two books, along with her vampy fangboy Nick, and her famous Fluff & Puff slippers, make a splash in Wicked by Any Other Name. The splash deftly ties this third novel into the first two, drawing the reader deeply into their witchy ways.
I was absolutely entertained with this fun and magical romp! Linda Wisdom is quickly making herself a household name in the paranormal genre. I will definitely be looking for the next one! Armchair Reviews
Wicked By Any Other Name is a spinning good read. The way Trevor takes her breath away, and Stasi is flabbergasted over the events, left me spell-struck myself. I love where Stasi gets the hiccups quite a few times. I could visualize the moments. The chemistry between Stasi and Trevor, not to mention the way their love blossoms so beautifully, prompts right into the reader's heart. Linda Wisdom weaves a laugh-out-loud spontaneity of hilarious moments between two unforgettable characters. As for Carrie, yep, she is indeed a nightmare. This is one story that is most enjoyable, and quite entertaining. The well-developed characters, and excellent plot, make this an extraordinary read not to be missed. Coffee Time Romance
Lawsuits can be hell on earth, even for witches and wizards. Fan-fave Wisdom delivers a new tale from her clever magical universe and continues to delight with clearly defined -- if somewhat offbeat -- characters who face danger with pizzazz. Romantic Times
Ms Wisdom has done it again with her highly entertaining, sexy and imaginative series. This book is a fast read that's perfect for whiling away the dreary pre-Spring months. And while it has characters like Jazz and Nick and Fluff and Puff who we're grown to love already, there are new characters who'll also grab a place in our hearts and imagination -- characters like Horace, the gargoyle, and Felix, the kitty kat clock. You can always count on a wild, tumultuous ride with one of Linda Wisdom's books and Wicked By Any Other Name is no exception. Star-CrossedRomance.blogspot.com
Word about Hex Appeal. After reading two great books by Linda Wisdom based on her sexy hexy Jazz, I was looking forward to delving back into the witchy world again. I was slightly surprised to see that Jazz's friend Stasi had taken over the main role in this new book but my fears of no Fluff and Puff were tamed as the story picked up.
Stasi was a great character and I really enjoyed reading her and Trevor's story. It was also great to catch up with the other characters and even have Jazz come for a visit. The story builds up nicely and the tension and mystery grows all the way to the end. Romantic but fun, this is another witchy tale by Linda Wisdom that I thoroughly enjoyed. Now I can't wait to see what happens next and to which witch! ParNormalRomance
Word about Hex Appeal.
Linda Wisdom ups the ante in Hex Appeal and takes us on an enchanting and deviously fiendish journey as once again, we are drawn into the world of Jazz, a witch with an attitude, and her gorgeous vampire lover, Nick. A
delightful and engaging read. Wisdom is a rising star in the realm of paranormal romance. Yasmine Galenorn
USA Today bestselling author of Dragon Wytch and Darkling
Bless Jazz Tremaine’s witchy, Prada-loving heart – she’s captured mine! I can’t get enough of Jazz and her vamp lover Nick. Kudos to Linda Wisdom for a series that's pure magic! Vicki Lewis Thompson, NYT bestselling author of Wild & Hexy
I was under HEX APPEAL'S spell from the minute I opened the book! Linda Wisdom has created a captivating world--I loved everything about it, especially Jazz, the witch, and her vampire lover Nick. Alexis Morgan, Best-selling author of The Paladins of Darkness and The Talions from Pocket Star.
Jazz and vampire detective Nick are back in their second imaginative and enjoyable adventure, following Wisdom’s 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover (2008)
Hex Appeal is a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed getting to know Jazz and the gang. I haven't read many witch romances, and these books make me want to hunt for a few more. I definitely recommend this book to fans of urban fantasy and paranormal chick lit with light romance. This book is a blast. But don't forget to read 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover first. Hex Appeal will make a lot more sense that way. www.queuemyreview.com
An intriguing look beneath the bravado of Wisdom’s characters to their inner fears and vulnerabilities. Booklist ..
"What do you get when you mix an outcast witch and a vampire cop with history, with a haunted '56 T-Bird and a pair of man-eating bunny slippers? A smart, sexy, humorous read. 50 Ways To Hex Your Lover kept me laughing even when I wanted to cry. Linda Wisdom's imagination rocks." Elysa Hendricks -- Star Crash, Dorchester Publishing
“Ms. Wisdom had me bewitched from the start! 50 Ways To Hex Your Lover is a magical page turner. Reminiscent of Maryjanice Davidson’s work, I found the novel delightful, filled with sympathetic characters—Jazz is absolutely enchanting—and once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down.” Yasmine Galenorn National bestselling author of Witchling, (The Sisters of the Moon Series), from Berkley Publishing.
Wisdom's work is a "one-of" original - funny, sly, charming and an all around good time. Wearing a pair of killer (literally) bunny slippers named Fluff & Puff, witch and curse remover Jazz Tremaine shows us Hollywood and L.A. like no one ever has before. With a vampire lover to die for, a ghostly sidekick who can't leave her vintage '57 T-bird and a nemesis more foul smelling than his name, 50 Ways To Hex Your Lover is sheer delight from beginning to end. Terese Ramin Author-creator-editor Bewitched, Bothered, & BeVampyred charitable collaboration
Witches, vampires, and man eating bunny slippers, oh my! Do not miss this wickedly entertaining treat! ~~Annette Blair, National Bestselling Author of Sex and the Psychic Witch
What's been said about 50 Ways To Hex Your Lover
I adored this fast paced story about a smart, sassy witch and the to-die-for vampire she loves. Who could ask for anything more? Well, except maybe my own pair of carnivorous bunny slippers! Alexis Morgan -- Darkness Reborn, Pocket Star Paranormal Romance Jazz is a heroine I'd want to hang out with, and "50 Ways to Hex Your Lover" is a funny, wild ride. I can't wait for the next Jazz adventure. Candace Havens Charmed and Dangerous
With clever writing, a high sensuality factor and an unfettered imagination, Wisdom makes a sparkling entry into lite urban paranormals. Publisher's Weekly
Wisdom, no stranger to romance fans, delivers a striking opening salvo in her new paranormal series... a zany, hot read. Book List
Longtime series author Wisdom makes a wickedly fun jump into the supernatural realm. Offbeat characters -- including Irma, the ghost who haunts Jazz's car -- offer insight into this highly intriguing new heroine. The balance of danger,
adventure and the supernatural is excellent. With characters as rich and challenging as these, let's hope we haven't seen the last of them. Romantic Times
50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is a high-power keg of excitement. I love the characters of Jazz and Nikolai. They know how to steam the pages, as well as keep the reader highly entertained. Just the sound of Nikolai's name is enough to keep me turning the pages. This exhilarated read is loaded in action-pack chills and thrills. Linda Wisdom creates an intriguing story transporting the reader on a wild ride. I enjoyed the sidekicks in the storyline as well as the secondary characters that all intertwined in this fascinating read. Coffee Time Romance
This was a great book that I suggest you read "Because I say so, damn it!" which is Jazz's form of "so mote it be". Simply Romance Reviews
Readers who like their paranormal romances on the light and fluffy side will enjoy Wisdom's entry into the sub-genre. She's created a well-imagined mythology where all manner of magical beings co-exist with humans, but not always in a positive way despite the overall tone of the story. 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is a
story filled with loads of sass and sensuality, plenty of laughs and a host of oddball characters who'll leave you in stitches and asking for more. Book Loons
50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is a departure from other books I have read by Linda Wisdom but I think it is a great book. The characters of Jazz and Nick are strong, likable, sexy, and funny. Although physically they can hardly stay away from each other, they are about as opposite as they can get spiritually. The story also contains a rich cast of secondary characters that contribute both humorous and bizarre twists to the story. I like books by Ms. Wisdom and I am delighted to see her branching off into this type of tale. I would love to read more stories like this one and want to know more about Nick and Jazz and their cast of friends. The Romance Studio
My soul laughed so much as I read this book! I loved the quirky characters and hope to see them again. This is fun without being silly. Smart humor is hard to find, and when you do, it's to be treasured. Originality makes this book a true keeper. Huntress & Eternal Night UK
50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is the first in a new series. Ms. Wisdom carves her niche in paranormal romance with unique characters, a sizzling romance, and a supernatural mystery to solve. With a strong magical element and a nice touch of humor, when push comes to shove there’s no stopping this witch from getting things done. Darque Reviews
Supernatural powers, ghosts, witches, and vampires are just a few of the characters that make this book a treat for the funny bone. Seriously, who wouldn’t find angry, biting bunny slippers named Fluff and Puff funny? I sure did. The supporting characters in this delightful romp were almost as much fun as the leads. I especially like Irma, a ghost that haunts The T-Bird that Jazz drives. Nick was that wondrous of all creatures, a sexy vampire, the perfect foil to Jazz and her devil may care attitude that covers a deeper, gentler, heart. After 300 years of an on and off relationship they each know how to push the others buttons, and that is a true delight to watch. Linda Wisdom has written a story that is sure to turn anyone’s gloomy day into a sunshine filled delight.
Fallen Angels Reviews
Linda Wisdom is an author that I have always relied upon to deliver a good read and she did not disappoint with this novel. I found the story fun and laughed out loud several times. All About Romance
There are lots of books about witches these days but Jazz is different than the other witchy characters you usually read about. Instead of just doing magic, Jazz is magic. Fantasy/SciFi Loving Books
Sexy, sassy Jazz is a character with which many women will identify. A man she doesn’t want to love, and can’t seem to keep her pants on for, a crazy life, and a job that sometimes really stinks. Funny and imaginative, this is one book that paranormal fans will devour. No one will be able to resist the spell Linda Wisdom casts over her readers in 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover. The story will bewitch you, the characters will embrace you, and you just may read this in one sitting! wwww.manicreaders.com
