Linda Good and Laura Good wrote the music, book and lyrics for a new original historical musical entitled Ladyship. Ladyship was inspired by true events during the time when approximately 25,000 convict women were sent from England to Australia from 1788 and 1868 under the British government's Transportation Act – a supposedly more humane alternative to the death penalty. The musical follows the characters of two Irish teenage sisters, Alice and Mary, along with some of their fellow convicts, and how they narrowly survive the perilous journey. Ladyship was an Official Grand Jury Selection of the New York Musical Festival (NYMF) 2019, and made its debut in New York City at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theater on July 10, 2019.

The debut production of Ladyship featured Maddie Shea Baldwin (Bright Star) as Alice Reed, Caitlin Cohn (Lolita, My Love) as Mary Reed, Jennifer Blood (Matilda the Musical) as Lady Jane Sharp, Jordon Bolden (TV: Daredevil, Law & Order: SVU) as Marcus "Finn" Findley, Noelle Hogan (Fun Home, US Tour) as Kitty MacDougal, Justin R.G. Holcomb (Honor Bound) as Zeke Cropper, Lisa Karlin (Ragtime, Revival) as Abigail Gainsborough, Brandi Knox (Hairspray, Regional) as Mrs. Pickering, Quentin Oliver Lee (The Phantom of the Opera, US Tour) as Captain Josiah Adams, and Trevor St. John-Gilbert (Les Misérables, Regional) as Lieutenant Brandon Adams. The production featured scenic design by David Goldstein, costume design by Whitney Locher, and lighting design by Sam Gordon. Patrick Calhoun as sound designer, Deb Gaouette was props designer, Adele Rylands was the fight director, Sara Brians was choreographer, and Michael Danek was the production stage manager. Michael Cassara Casting was the casting director, Visceral Entertainment was the production manager, Connor Delves did social media and Kampfire PR was publicist. Simone Allen was music director.

Ladyship: High School Edition premiered January 13, 2023 at Clear Brook High School by the Clear Brook Players, in Friendswood, TX. It was directed by Asa Smith and Michelle Smith, with a cast and crew of over 45 high-school actors and theater crew. Music direction was by Stephanie Cramer, and choreography was by Hayden West. For the performance run, The CB Players partnered with Hands of Justice, a survivor-led anti-trafficking nonprofit organization that helps survivors of sex-trafficking reclaim their lives.

Linda Good and Laura Good of The Twigs produced a concept album studio recording of Ladyship entitled Ladyship the Musical (Original Concept Recording), released July 2024.

She has written and co-produced over four albums with The Twigs.

In June 2009 Good released her first solo album, Love is a Curious Thing on Whirligig Records. She played many of the instruments on the album (piano, keyboards, guitar, bass, and percussion) and produced and recorded most of the album in her home studio. The single "Love Is..." was featured on the TV Show (the new) 90210 (TV Series). The album also features a duet with Chris Trapper of The Push Stars on the song "Bullseye."
