About Linda Kennedy
Linda Kennedy was born one of five children to missionaries in Nigeria, West Africa. She has enjoyed writing poetry and songs since an early age. The idea for this book came to her over 20 years ago. However, it wasn’t until becoming disabled and after two failed back surgeries, that she sat down and wrote the first rough draft which has now been completed. Linda currently resides in Jefferson City, Missouri. This is her first novel in the series Number of Man. Read our review here.

The book that changed your life:
The Bible has been a great influence as I continue to read and see the historical and prophetic accuracies and its continual guidance of a joyful way of living through Jesus Christ. He has moved me in more ways than words can express.
Your favorite literary character:
Aslan, the lion portrayed as king in the land of Narnia from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Just fell in love with this portrait. Love animals in general, but knowing that Jesus Christ is the King and from the tribe of Judah which is symbolized with a lion just warmed my heart. One day I pray, God will give me a real opportunity to run my hands through a lion’s mane.
