Katherine's Remarkable Road Trip is a fun biographical historical fiction written by Gail Ward Olmsted. We meet Miss Katharine Wormley - Kate - as she travels by motor vehicle in the fall of 1907. Travel by car, especially for a woman at 80, was rare at that time, but Kate is a rare individual.

Along her route, she meets many people who need what she has to offer from advice to encouragement to her medical knowledge. She also meets ups with old friends and family. Through it all, she reflects back on her amazing life.

Katharine Prescott Wormeley is a real woman born in England and moving to New England when she was just 18. She volunteered as a nurse on a medical ship during the Civil War, founded a school, ran a hospital, authored a book, and translated French novels. She, like her trip, and this book, was remarkable! A definite joy to read.

One Mile at a Time by Edward Rahill is a memoir about winning a cross-country road race - and a whole lot more.

Edward starts his memoir in a childhood surrounded by cars as well as lessons learned from his grandmother. Her long talks with Ed often resurface during life's difficult challenges. His hope is to have the chance to offer the same kind of advice to grandchildren of his own.

I was interested in this memoir because of my ride across the US on a tandem bike. Though not a speed race, there is something similar to the idea of making it across the country. My father also loved cars and speed, so maybe there is a touch of it in my own blood.

These races have been done on horse, car, bike, and foot - what's next? I enjoyed this memoir and think you will, too.

10 Publishing Myths by W. Terry Whalin is a great craft book helping authors understand what publishing a book entails - and what it doesn't. Many writers get started on the path to authorship without a real understanding of what comes after the book is written. Terry's book gives authors a realistic look at what to expect.

I loved that the book gave real-life examples, actionable tips, and even links for more information. It's a quick read but stuffed with great information - whether you are published or not. This book should be on every author's bookshelf.
