BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

Gerri Almand

Gerri Almand found her voice as a humorous non-fiction travel writer when her sweet-talking husband convinced her they should buy an RV and see the country. Her resulting trilogy about RV travel has earned awards and best-selling status. She branches out into more universal subject matter in her most recent release, Over-55 Conniptions: An Old Biddy Battles Aging. Heralded as both a laugh-aloud and a cry-aloud story, Over-55 Conniptions chronicles Gerri’s attempt to fit into her new over-55 community while dealing with the irrefutable evidence that she has become an old woman.
