Linda Chaikin’s standalone novels span nearly two decades of her career, from three books published in 1990 to The Midwife of St. Petersburg in 2007. These four titles represent stories that Chaikin chose to tell outside the framework of her many series, each standing as a complete, independent work.
The early standalones – Recovery of the Lost Sword, Nevada Jade, and The Everlasting Flame – were among Chaikin’s first published books. The Midwife of St. Petersburg arrived much later, showing that even a prolific series writer sometimes has stories that work best on their own. Together, these four books fill in the gaps between Chaikin’s larger series projects.
