Writing Credits

Motorcycles
An avid motorcyclist since 1996, Linda Gentile now rides a 1996 Suzuki Intruder 1400. Her adventures have included riding solo to Texas and back, exploring Nevada in summer, and dismantling a Virago engine to get to the broken gears. All of these have yielded rich veins of writing material.
Linda was an active member of Women on Wheels®, for several years, editing a chapter newsletter and website. In 1996, she started writing about motorcycles on her first website; today, she blogs about motorcycles, travel and RVing at Raven's Roads.
History and Historical Markers
As a child, Linda Gentile's love of history was consolidated while crawling around, utterly fascinated, inside an ancient Scottish burial mound.
She became interested in historical markers while taking part in a 2003 motorcycle scavenger hunt. She founded Markeroni.com, the first online community focused on historical markers and historic sites, in 2003.
Linda has lived full-time in an RV since 2007 and uses a motorcycle to mine local neighborhoods for writing material.
