My name is Linda Rappaport.
I write psychological suspense novels.
They’re dark, lyrical, and morally complex.
You’ll find short synopses and a biography below.
“Linda uses the beauty of language to communicate the harsh reality of an unfair world. Her compelling characters beg to be heard as they tell their heartbreaking stories.”
— Julie Colacchio— https://juliecolacchio.com
“Oddball scenes and settings, memorable characters (mostly sympathetic if a little edgy), and fluid, unpretentious prose.”
— Giles Selig

My career has had many incarnations. After receiving my MA in Dance Education from Columbia University Teachers College, I worked as artistic director of the House on Fire Dance Foundation.
Life as a choreographer was followed by parenthood and a career as an elementary school teacher, where I taught the Columbia University Teachers College Readers and Writers Workshop model.
I have been co-organizer of The Hudson Valley Writers Workshop for eleven years. I teach a Memoir/Legacy Letter course through Marist College’s Center for Lifetime Studies.
