Linden grew up in the coastal city of Ventura, California where his love for surfing taught him to become one with nature. He attended Ventura Community College and majored in Electrical Engineering where he excelled as an engineering student and won awards.

Although, he had a student deferment, he chose to enlist in the U.S. Army and volunteered for Special Forces and Vietnam. Prior to his deployment to Vietnam, he married and fathered the first of two sons.

Linden as a young Special Forces sergeant in Vietnam was involved in hazardous reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines. He served with C Company Airborne Rangers, 75th Infantry and MACV-SOG, 5th Special Forces Group.

When he returned from the Vietnam war, he resumed his college studies but changed his major from Electrical Engineering to Psychology. The war had decisively changed him. He learned the hard way about the reality of war and what it did to people. He was appalled by the horrendous cost in human life both military and civilian, and the physical and psychological toll it inflicted on the wounded and survivors. He learned a valuable lesson to respect all life, even his enemy. His long journey as a wounded warrior and healer had begun.

Kern County, California, the land of “White Gold,” cotton 1950’s

Linden Morningstar was born in 1948 in Lamar, Missouri. Soon after his birth, his mother and step-father took him and his older sister to the “Promised Land” of California in the hope farmer’s fields were bountiful and jobs plentiful. His parents worked the fields around Bakersfield, California, picking back-breaking potatoes, cotton (White Gold), and apples as far away as Washington State. Linden thrived in the balmy heat of his new home and loved to get his hands dirty playing in the fertile soil. Where dirt mixed with his imagination made him happy.

Psychological Thriller, Paranormal, and Women’s Fiction

Gloria Rising is a trailblazing novel that takes you beyond the intriguing multiple personalities of Sybil and The Three Faces of Eve to indescribable terror and horror—and to something more astonishing that defies the precepts of modern psychology and psychiatry. Legendary hypnotherapist, Dr. Adam Jaxon, is on a quest to rescue and heal his mystifying and perplexing patient, Gloria B., from the brink of madness and from horrifying nightmares. Gloria’s riveting story is told under deep hypnosis where her unconscious mind automatically writes down the terrifying details of her nightmares, to expose a shocking truth that may set her free or plunge her deeper into madness. Gloria’s automatic letters are compelling and heart-wrenching yet open the doors of perception to a deeper awareness and consciousness she needed to solve the puzzle of her escalating madness and to uncover the dark secrets buried in her nightmares—a mystery that Gloria is terrified to face, but must, to escape madness and reclaim her life.

Quotes from Gloria’s Helper (Gloria’s unconscious mind) and from Beyond

“Something strange happens about dreams that Gloria has – the real world seems to get mixed up into the dreams and the dreams seem all the more real – with part of your mind you’re aware of what’s going on around you, but part of your mind is drifting and things start to get mixed up. What I’m trying to say is that the human mind has developed a safety valve and dreaming is really the unconscious mind (me in this case) clearing up the debris it has otherwise been unable to cope with on the conscious level – if this is so, then tonight’s dreams became like “a horror show” in which Gloria and I were literally imprisoned.”

Gloria’s Helper

“I can’t consider you a thief or a likely candidate for prison or a nervous breakdown Gloria. I sense a real strength in you more strength than you know is there – you’ve got internal reserves that ability to cope and to keep coping. Now remember don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I’ll help.”

Pyramid Lady

“For now, I will say that God endowed humans with a great many powers and forces, and some of the creative, constructive powers can only be passed on through channels of others.”
