Linda Maria Frank, author of Annie Tillery Mystery Series, has been the Top Female Author in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards in the Young Adults/Teen category. Frank was chosen from a field hundreds of authors by a panel of judges.

"Civilizations are defined by their stories," Frank stated. "First it was oral history, then parchment, and finally books. The stories in book, provided by the author, whether they be fiction or fact, give an insight into what the people of a particular culture believe at any one given time. What they say is important for it reflects their values, their history, their use of technology, and what they wish to tell future generations, or hide from them."

Linda writes great teen mystery books, inspired by a childhood passion for Nancy Drew books and the popular television series, CSI. She combines an appealing heroine, Annie Tillery, with a gripping story plot to create new fiction books for mystery readers. Her works are exactingly authentic, as she finished her teaching career in high school as a Department Chairperson, teaching biology, chemistry and forensic science. She then went on to teach forensic science and biotechnology at Hofstra University.

Linda has written 5 books in Annie Tillery Mystery Series:

The Madonna Ghost
Girl with Pencil, Drawing
Secrets in the Fairy Chimneys
The Mystery of the Lost Avenger
Making a Mystery with Annie Tillery

Reviewers have high praise for Frank's Annie Tillery Mystery Series. One reviewer stated, "Linda Frank might as well be the next Carolyn Keene with her new age mystery luring readers from every angle--suspense, romance, and modern forensics. This is a perfect book for all ages, particularly young readers who might find Nancy Drew a bit old-fashioned. Written in a way where every chapter leaves you with a crisp, familiar image of each character and location."

Author Linda Maria Frank Chosen As Finalist In '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'

Frank was chosen as the result of a public voting process.  Her work, entitled ‘Secrets In The Fairy Chimneys’, is a mystery thriller for young readers that has received rave reviews from readers

Linda Maria Frank, author of ‘Secrets Of The Fairy Chimneys’, has been chosen as a finalist in the ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Awards contest. The contest is sponsored by The Authors Show.

‘Secrets In The Fairy Chimneys’, written in the tradition of Nancy Drew mysteries, is written in a ‘Nancy Drew meets CSI’ style. The new young adult thriller puts Annie Tillery on a dangerous path in an attempt to unravel a complicated mystery and solve the secrets in the fairy chimneys.

"I love the Authors Show," Frank stated. "What a splendid opportunity the show offers to showcase your books in an attractive way, including an in-depth interview. On top of that is the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' contest, which enables authors to share with others what writing means to them. Books contain every conceivable idea and story written and told by the authors who provide these gifts to their readers. It is this relationship between authors and readers that keeps the stories of our common awareness alive."

'Secrets In The Fairy Chimneys' is set in exotic Istanbul and Cappadocia, a land of enchanted caves and rock formations. The plot involves ancient mysteries, archaeological secrets, and thieves who will commit murder rather than give up the treasures they steal. Annie acquires new friends. Cedric Zeeks is trying to find a link between his African ancestors and the inhabitants of a 9,000 year old town in Cappadocia.  Yelda and Ahmet Atsut, twins with a Ouija board and awesome sleuthing talents, help Annie and boyfriend, Ty Egan, solve the mysteries, both the ancient ones and the ones that threaten them as they work the archaeological dig.  This third Annie Tillery Mystery is a real page turner with mystery, romance and an intriguing plot.

The book has a perfect 5 star rating on Amazon. One reviewer stated, "Terrific read. Although I'm not a typical YA reader (a bit too old) I thoroughly enjoy this series. Young Annie Tillery is a character that the reader can engage as she soldiers on with her adventure in the face of some ominous threats. Her relationship with her boyfriend, and archeological dig partner is touching. The scene descriptions of the archeological site in Turkey are well done and enlightening. The author not only knows how to tell a compelling story but she adds some interesting scientific information. I have heard of mitochondrial DNA, but never knew its significance until I read this book.”
