Great news!
My new full-length book of poems is the winner of the 2015 Homebound Publications Poetry Prize. Rolling up the Sky will be released in February 2016.
My name is Linda Haltmaier (nee Flaherty) and this site is dedicated to my passions--poetry, screenwriting, and storytelling in all its forms--as well as my portraits of prickly, six-legged creatures.

My love affair with beetles began at age eight when my father plunked a large Egyptology book on my bed. It was filled with scarabs, mystery, and glorious gods. Years later, it inspired me to create portraits that capture the alien beauty of beetles
--deeply misunderstood creatures. I found that glaze on ceramic comes close to mimicking the luminosity and other-worldly sheen of beetle wing casings (eleytra).
I write poetry, screenplays, and fiction.
My poetry collection, Catch and Release, was published in March 2015 by Finishing Line Press.
My Sci-Fi feature screenplay, The Outliers, won the Just Effing Entertain Me Screenwriting Competition in Sci-Fi. It also earned 2nd place in the ScriptVamp Screenwriting Competition and Top 3 honors in the Gimme Credit Screenplay Competition. Additional honors include: PAGE Awards Semi-finalist; StoryPros Semi-finalist; Top 20 Champion Screenwriting Awards; Top 30 Cynosure Screenwriting Awards.
