Linda Wilgus
Linda Wilgus is a debut historical fiction author whose first novel was published in January 2026 in the US and February 2026 in the UK, earning translation into multiple languages.
Originally from the Netherlands, she grew up dreaming of time travel and writing novels, finding historical fiction the perfect medium to fulfill both aspirations.
Her writing style combines historical accuracy with romance, folklore, and mystery elements.
Wilgus demonstrates strong research skills and creates atmospheric, character-driven narratives set in early 1800s Cornwall.
Her work features detailed descriptions of coastal settings and incorporates Cornish mythology, particularly tales of sea spirits and merfolk, while exploring themes of female independence within historical constraints.
