Come meet Linda Colucci, author of "The 440 Train".
The 440 Train is my debut novel. From the time of conception to its
birth it has been a five-year journey. I self-published, and to date am
doing the bulk of the marketing along with the help of loving friends
and family. I live in California with my amazing husband and four-legged
kids and I love life.

story I co-wrote which will be published in the near future.

my twenties I exchanged script dialogue during a rehearsal scene with
one of the most well known soap stars in Hollywood. I was so blown-away
by this happenstance moment that between the adrenaline rush and being
star struck I couldn’t get my lines out – I just laughed. The actress
stared me straight in the eye and...paused. Then she laughed. I took it
personally and must have pouted because I thought she was laughing at me
for being a lousy actor, which I did not want to be anyway. She smiled
and said, "Linda I'm laughing because I feel like I'm looking at my
sister. The actress that said this was: Susan Lucci. Lucci was the first
actress that I stunt doubled in Hollywood. After too many bumps and
bruises I decided that stunts was not my cup of tea. Writing is for me
