Linda Diane Wattley, An Author Advocating PTSD Awareness

Linda Diane Wattley is a published writer who began her first work of art with poetry. The poem, I Wish appeared in the Poetry Gem of the American Poets Society. For over 20 years she had her own religious/philosophical column in the Frost Illustrated Newspaper titled, The Best Will Show Themselves.

Linda has appeared as a contributed writer for the online magazines including: Faith Writers, The Wright Side of Me Productions, The Blessed Room, and Cheers where she shared inspirational and thought-provoking messages to readers. She is also a contributing of anthologies: The Triumph of My Soul edited by Elissa Gabriel and This Far by Faith with Vanessa Miller as editor.

Today, God has awakened her to a new and extremely important message to share with the world. To help others become more conscious of PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, she is presenting her newest work: Soldier with a Backpack, Living and Dying Simultaneously. This work reveals the reality of the impact this disorder has on our veterans' and civilian people's lives. It takes you deep within the soul of the inner dynamics of this disorder. Stress and Trauma are guiding us further away from love. Truth and understanding will guide us to self-love and love for our fellowman.

When Linda is not writing, she enjoys her family: Mother, Jacqueline M. Bushner; sons, Robert D. Wattley III and Marcus; daughter-in-law, Katie; and granddaughters, Jaelynn and Myla.
