In this edition of Madison Book Beat, host Lisa Malawski talks with local Madison author Ann Garvin.
Ann Garvin became an author at age fifty. She has now written five books. Ann Garvin is a nurse, a professor, and USA Today Bestselling Author. She thinks everything is funny and a little bit sad. Ann writes stories about women with a good sense of humor who do too much in a world that asks too much from them. Ann is the founder of the multiple award-winning Tall Poppy Writers where she is committed to helping women writers succeed. She is a sought-after speaker on writing, leadership and health and has taught extensively in NY, San Francisco, LA, Boston, and at festivals across the country and in Europe.
Some may say that a nurse engages more with the left-brain which is analytical, calculated and orderly verses the right-brain which is supposed to be intuitive and creative. With this, there is also the thought that the nurse must step to the right of their left brains in order to be both data-minded and people focused. Lisa talks with Ann about her book journey and engages in conversation about Ann’s nurse left brain moving to the right in order to be an author.
There’s No Coming Back from This was published by Lake Union Publishing in 2023.
Ann will return to the airwaves on 10/28 for her new book, Bummer Camp.
