Wearing my “You Give Love a Bad Name” tee… but my first three books might just prove otherwise!

Before the thrillers (All the Captive Girls, All the Missing Girls, All the Broken Girls), there was Alive at 5, Cuba Undercover, and Flatline — full of heart, heat, and steamy romance.

If you’re looking for your next summer read, click the link in my bio and fall for the ones that started it all. ❤️‍🔥

Happy Mother Nature took a break long enough for us to jump in the boat and catch a dozen firework shows. From @stpetebeach to @stpetefl and beyond, the night sky sparkled. We had radar and knew how far away the storms sat. I love to watch the shows from the water. #Welivehere Happy 4th.

If you followed my behind-the-scenes journey during Gasparilla, you know Tampa’s krewes are about more than parades. They’re about bringing people together, giving back through volunteer work, and celebrating the energy that makes this city special.

And if you’ve read my books, you know the Cuban-American experience plays a central role in the stories I tell.

That’s why I’m so honored to share this news:
My husband, Jorge Figueredo, has been named the 2025 King of the Krewe of West Tampa, and I’m proud to serve alongside him as this year’s Queen. 👑

Jorge came to this country on a Freedom Flight from Cuba. From a childhood on Pine Street in West Tampa to executive roles at LensCrafters, Essilor, and now Kuducom, his journey is a reflection of hard work, perseverance, and a deep respect for the community that helped raise him.

Today, he gives back through board service with the West Tampa Chamber of Commerce, BAYS, and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Hispanic Advisory Council. The Krewe of West Tampa also supports meaningful causes, including the MacDonald Training Center, which empowers individuals with disabilities through job training and life skills.

This honor means a great deal to our family and to me personally as a storyteller, because it’s a reminder that the values I write about are alive and well in our community.

We’d be honored to have you join us at the Coronation Ball.

Happy Birthday @jackie_fig_ See you soon 😘❤️

A week well spent at #ThrillerFest in NYC with panels by day, cocktail parties by night, and nonstop inspiration in between. I met some of the most incredible writers, including legends like @jamespattersonbooks and @johngrisham (!!), but one moment stole the show.

My friend @jaimelynnhendricksauthor is currently battling breast cancer. A bookstagrammer who loves her work, @carriereadsthem_all, organized a preorder push for her new release, Their Double Lives. The two had never met until this weekend. I happened to catch their first in-person moment, and it was pure magic.

This is what makes the book world so special 💛 Head to my page to see the video.

May I tell you a story? I promise it pays off. My good friend @jaimelynnhendricksauthor is fighting breast cancer . It sucks. @carriereadsthem_all, a bookstagrammer who LOVES Jaime’s books, put together a preorder promo push for her new release #TheirDoubleLives and a bunch of us joined in. These two women have never met. (If you know Jaime, that’s surprising 🤣🤣🤣) I captured the moment (I’m a journalist 🤷‍♀️) and it’s my favorite from @internationalthrillerwriters. Because this is what it’s all about, right? Our shared love of a good story. And our shared love and respect for each other. The tears and the feels are real. ❤️ #lifteachotherup❤️ #werisetogether

Have you ever stopped to think about who shows up when you dial 911—who might save your life in your most vulnerable moment?

Today, I had the privilege of sitting in on a class at Hillsborough Community College – Dale Mabry Campus, where my son, Barbaro Dominguez, was teaching the next generation of paramedics. These future lifesavers will go on to serve with Tampa Fire Rescue, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Florida, Polk County Fire Rescue, and more.

Watching him in his element—passionate, knowledgeable, and completely in command—was an incredibly proud moment. He’s not just a great teacher, he’s helping shape the people who will one day make life-or-death decisions for someone in need.

A heartfelt shoutout to all of our first responders. You are the calm in the chaos, the steady hands in emergencies, and often, the difference between life and death. Thank you for all you do. ❤️🚑🔥

Thank you to @melvinjunior23 and @elgas_world37 for inviting us to join them at the AUSA Suncoast Chapter Army Birthday Ball. The event was a beautiful tribute to the legacy, strength, and sacrifice of Soldiers past and present. My father served in the Air Force and his love for serving our country made a huge impact on me. #Missionbeforeself.

Enjoyed the evening with old friends and loved bonding with new ones.

Re-Introduction time! I’m Linda Hurtado Bond, an award-winning journalist by day, author by night.

You may know me from the anchor desk or community events across Tampa Bay, but when the cameras are off, I write romance and thrillers filled with heart, heat, and high-stakes suspense.

📚 Author of:
• Alive at 5
• Cuba Undercover
• Flatline
• All the Broken Girls
• All the Missing Girls
• All the Captive Girl

If you love fast-paced plots, you’re in the right place. Stick around for writing inspo, family life, behind-the-scenes moments, and stories that blend journalism and fiction in all the best ways.

Still reminiscing on last week’s @storythreesixty conference. Getting the chance to share what I’ve learned and speak to others who love storytelling as much as I do is truly a dream come true.

You’re never too old, or too experienced, to keep learning, and I left inspired by so many others in the room. I’ll always be a student of greats like @donald.maass and #chrisvogler.

Thank you for letting me be part of this unforgettable experience 💛

They are among the best pilots in the world and they are finally getting their documentary-due! The Netflix Filmes "AIR FORCE ELITE: THE THUNDERBIRDS" takes us into the cockpit of that amazing United States Air Force ariel team. Tune in today on FOX13 Tampa Bay as I interview the movie's director and one of the pilots @Lt. Col Justin "Astro" Elliott. Until then, enjoy my experience flying with the USAF Thunderbirds out of MacDill Air Force Base earlier in my career. I do not make sense a few times, but hey, you try talking after pulling nine G's. #BucketList #Thrillofalifetime #Thankyouforyourservice #MilitaryAppreciationMonth

Engaging conversation tonight at @oebookstore with authors @andrewsandwilson @bentleydonb and @jackstewartbooks. The topic: truth in fiction. These men served our country and now write military thrillers. But they write about more than mission and adventure, dark versus light. they write about those universal questions we all ask. Why are we here? What is my purpose? How do I make a difference? I love their books. It’s military appreciation month. I hope you try one of their books, too.

Huge thanks to Travis Jennings and Kairos Exchange for hosting the All the Captive Girls book signing at last night’s AI event. We learned so much about what AI can do—and got to share a story that proves human creativity is still undefeated.

What’s your next AI prompt? 🤖🤔

While anchoring the news one day, I turned to a coworker and said, “Wouldn’t an adventure vacation be the perfect way to get away with murder — if it looked like an accident?” Yes... these are the kinds of conversations you have when plotting your next thriller!

This book, like so many of mine, holds a special place in my heart, inspired by my years as a reporter and the headlines that shaped my career. I’ve loved seeing readers discover and revisit Alive at 5 over the years.

Now through 5/11, you can grab the audiobook for 50% off on @audiobooks_com.
