About Linda Kranz

I was born in Savannah, Georgia. When I was growing up our family moved a lot, we lived in Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Germany, and then we moved to Arizona. My husband and I have lived in Arizona for over five decades. We have two amazing grown children. I worked in the publishing industry for more than three decades.
