Linda Hepworth is the author of three books. Her first two, If These tables Could Talk and Turning the Tablesare both collections of short stories, detailing her professional life as a restaurant server. She built her reputation as The Jokester Waitress by entertaining folks with a little quip, joke or story, while they wait for their meals to be prepared. Linda uses humor to put her customers at ease, making everyone's life a little brighter.  Linda's editor told her that, "People "our age" are interested in what we used to do when we were young." 

 

So, her third book, The Water Beckons , just recently finished, is about how she returned to the world of competitive swimming after a 40-year hiatus. Her unique perspective takes the reader through an entire day at a Championship meet. As she completes her events, lap by lap, she weaves tales of her youth and her family'slove of the water.

 

Linda will read from her books and tell a few salacious stories, illustrating her motto, "Dress like a nun, but talk like a truck driver."
