COPS the idea was picked up for a nice price by Aaron Spelling and the is expected to come before the ers sometime during the next few months Putting a television package together began as a challenge to hurdle was there and she jumped it She discovered she could write for TV and that there is more to it than merely a lark She's decided it's time to start something of her own thoughts in a more serious vein Accordingly she now spends many hours in her Sierra Madre canyon sits on a hill above one of those little roads that goes nowhere Linda is working on a novel and its screenplay and she
