This week we will be joined by Greg Armstrong and D. W. Alder, who will be discussing their books Mad Season and Reclaimed Life respectively.

 

About the authors:

Gregory Armstrong was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, and grew up in Norwich, Connecticut. He attended and graduated from Norwich Free Academy where, in his final two years, he acquired a passion for writing. At the time, the school provided a writing center, a classroom filled with computers, designated as a creative writing outlet for the students, and overseen by the now accomplished author Wally Lamb. Here, students were free to use their time working on their own projects, developing, learning, and sharpening their writing skills. Mad Season is his debut novel.

D.W. Alder grew up in a small town in Connecticut, daydreaming of a future where she was a teacher, married to the love of her life, living in a house built on land owned by generations of her family, and a mother to six. Instead, she quit college and moved across the country to follow a boy. Living in both Rancho Cucamonga, CA and Las Vegas, NV confirmed D.W. wasn’t cut out for the city life. Disproving that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, D.W. and her new husband drove back across the country when they were seven months pregnant. After several years, he built her a log home on family land…and the reality of raising one child nixed any aspirations of raising six. D.W.’s debut novel is Reclaimed Life, the first in the Tyler Mountain Valley series. When she’s not writing romance, she’s editing, reading, or spending time with family, including her son and new daughter-in-law.
