A big thanks to Jacquie of Joy Cottage Blog for this award in recognition of my memoir, The Drive in ’65, being released on July 31. If the pandemic has prevented travel for you, The Drive in ’65 might be the road trip you need. It’s the story of eight Alaskans (I was one of them, at thirteen years old) who spent the summer of 1965 traveling around North America and discovering what life was like outside our home state. Along with natural wonders and historic treasures, we learned why the civil rights movement was so important, and followed news reports about the escalating war in Vietnam that would impact us all. Learn more at my author website. I’d love to hear from you, and have some freebies just for my newsletter subscribers.

Congratulations! A trip to the lower 48 must have really felt like something special growing up in Alaska. I lived barely 2 years in Alaska, but imagine you had genuine sourdough status. Best of luck with your writing adventure.
Thanks–and great to hear from you. Where were you in Alaska? Was this in childhood? Always interested to know what takes people there.
I lived in Fairbanks for about 2 years as an adult. I went with my boyfriend who had a job there. I liked it.
Wow this sounds like an interesting book indeed. Am loving the book cover, as well as your author website. All the best in your publishing journey!
Thanks, Stuart–great to hear from another writer.
