Gerri Almand

Gerri grew up in the rural South, received an undergraduate degree from Florida State University, and completed a Master’s of Social Work degree at the University of Maryland. During her forty years of social work practice, she worked with children and families in a variety of settings. Little did she realize through all those decades of writing evaluations, social histories, and investigative reports that she’d write creative nonfiction books after she retired.

Gerri had enjoyed a lifetime of gardening prior to her husband’s RV purchase and the ensuing lifestyle changes. As a Master Gardener, she created an award-winning yard and nurtured over two hundred orchids on the lanai of their home in Tampa, Florida.

Always an avid reader, Gerri bega

Mary Hollendoner

Mary is passionate about travel and the outdoors. Originally from England, she moved to California for its rock climbing and sunshine, worked a season on the Yosemite Search and Rescue team, but then ended up climbing the corporate ladder at Google for a decade to fund her travel obsession.

She has bicycled across Central America, motorcycled across Mexico, driven the length of Australia, and backpacked around Europe, S.E. Asia, and Africa – all as a prelude to the epic drive through the Americas that is the subject of this book.

She’s written for travel, climbing, and retirement magazines, and this is her first foray into a full-length book.
