Teaching herself to read before she went to school was the start of her life-long love affair with books. Trained as an engineer, Linzé has worked as a specialist engineer in two fields of engineering. Thereafter, she was self-employed, working as a consultant to commercial companies exporting their products to other countries. When the economy forced her back into full-time employment, she worked as a systems engineer and senior project manager at a company that designs and manufactures products for the military industry.
In January 2019, she left her full-time job to enjoy the challenges of self-employment once more. Now she spends her days doing competence training, career development and retirement coaching, and engineering consulting work. Although she still loves to read, she also enjoys counted stitch embroidery, t'ai chi, archery, fly fishing, drawing, painting with pastels, her husband's medal-winning photographs, and watching Manchester United play.
She is one of the moderators of two Facebook writers' groups, and leads the Pretoria Writers' Group, who boasts several published authors in various genres. Linzé Brandon lives in Pretoria, South Africa, with her engineer husband and German Shepherds who are convinced that the world revolves only around them. I am a 50 year old visual artist, author, mom and pug breeder. Two of my Afrikaans short stories have been published in My kort vir jou sop available on www.amazon.com as an e-book and soon to be released in soft cover.
I have taken part in Nanowromo 2012 and reached the target on day 26. I have my own blog at http://iread1966.wordpress.com, appropriately named Humouring the dark, where I have a few followers. I am also active on Facebook and Twitter and am a member of a writing group. I lead my own book club as well- I am a true bookaholic. Writing has always been my passion, however the timing always seemed incorrect as daily life interrupted more frequently than not.
Now, I have decided to go big or go home. I am in my early 40s, and live in Johannesburg, South Africa with my husband. Storytelling is how I make my living - mostly corporate at the moment, but increasingly books that need writing are bringing themselves to my attention. Carmen is a South African writer, based in Pretoria, Gauteng (originally from the beautiful city of Cape Town!). She has always been a writer at heart, even though her path led me her to study and work in a field completely unrelated to writing.
As the saying goes: 'Nevertheless, she persisted.' Which she did. With a husband and two sons by her side, always supporting her, she never stopped writing - even when it was only just for herself. She is the founder of Owlish Press Content Agency. She is the co-founder and writer for Seasoned Journeys, a digital lifestyle magazine. And, of course, she writes fiction.
