Linda Dillon Moya (Sweigart)

Manager: Sandra Avila, Inclusion Management - www.inclusionmgmt.com

Raised in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, Linda Dillon Moya was raised in a bilingual and bicultural household. She studied at an all-girl Catholic school and was a tomboy until she was sent to modeling school with the intention of turning her into a beauty queen. Linda spent her childhood perfecting her English and Spanish skills to please her Mexican mother, who taught ESL, and learned to shoot guns from her father, a Green Beret, who suffered from severe PTSD. In high school, Linda discovered that her father was actually her stepfather. Her world was rocked. This precipitated Linda’s rebellious period. She dated the son of a notorious drug lord until her mother packed her off to study in Spain. Linda has worked in several diverse fields, including as an archeological field-tech, a financial planner, and an instructor at Homeland Security, where she taught TSA Agents to find bombs. Her passion for storytelling landed her an MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA. When Linda’s mother died unexpectedly, her mom’s so-called best friend seduced her stepfather, dumped him at a retirement home, and pillaged the family estate. Heartbroken, Linda took a two-year pilgrimage around the world where she was courted by an Indian Prince, consulted Cambodian fortune tellers, and was hospitalized in Myanmar for a spider bite. Luckily, she lives to tell the tale.
