Inside the Mind of Emmy Award-Winning Journalist & Author Linda Hurtado Bond – A Gala Vision Podcast Exclusive!
If you love thrilling novels, Tampa Bay culture, and inspiring conversations, this is an episode you don’t want to miss! On the latest episode of The Gala Vision Podcast, I sit down with the one and only Linda Hurtado Bond, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and the brilliant mind behind the new thriller romance novel, All the Captive Girls.
Set against the backdrop of Tampa Bay’s legendary Gasparilla Festival, Linda’s latest novel weaves suspense, romance, and the vibrant energy of our city into an unforgettable page-turner. But beyond the book, this conversation was extra special for me because, as a fellow Cuban-American storyteller in Tampa Bay, Linda’s career has been a huge inspiration in my own journey as a news anchor, journalist, and digital creator.
Linda and I dive into the pages of All the Captive Girls and why Gasparilla made the perfect backdrop for this suspenseful, romantic novel. We get into how Linda balances breaking news with crafting page-turners along with how being Cuban-American influences her storytelling and why diverse voices matter. We also learn about how Tampa Bay’s biggest festival inspired her latest novel and Linda’s best career advice, for aspiring journalists, authors, and storytellers. I also get into the unboxing of her book’s extrarghhh-ordinary PR box!
