Gwen Florio
Gwen Florio “is one of those writers who regularly publish series and stand-alones that leave a lasting impression,” says the New York Times. Her fiction draws on a lengthy journalism career that took her across the country and overseas to several conflict zones, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia. Her debut novel, Montana, won the national Pinckley Prize for debut crime fiction by women and a High Plains Book Award. She’s published eleven since, with Best Be Prepared the most recent. Her next, A Senior Citizen’s Guide to Life on the Run, is set for publication in May.
