I started writing fiction at age 58, and had my first fiction book, Leave No Trace, published at age 59. I now have five books in print, with a six coming out in June. I live in Bloomington, Indiana and on the road in a trailer half the year traveling the country, living wherever I land. I just published my first nonfiction book, The Little Road Book, about my travels, with another travel book coming out in February of 2014 and a book about my lesbian great aunt due out in April of 2014.
This is my own book, just published, so I won't rate it but here's the blurb: SAMANTHA NEALLY is in hiding.
