Linda Kaye-Moses is an uppity, unruly octogenarian author and studio jeweler, living a life amazed by the magic inherent both in writing and in her objets. She graduated from the University of Vermont with unofficial majors in psychology, drama, and ancient history, so, naturally, she has been a studio jeweler for five decades and a writer for even longer. She is the author of The Argentera and The Tales of the Six Arabesques; Pure Silver Metal Clay Beads; and a self-published memoir, Roots Stems and Branches; A Recollection. Her writing was included in Strong Shoulders and in Writing Fire: An Anthology Celebrating the Power of Women's Words. She was a Writer's Digest 2023 Award Winner. She lives with her husband in an old farmhouse, surrounded by lilacs and the green hills of western Massachusetts.
