After ditching her cheating husband, Tasha Jensen packs her bags, cleans out their joint bank accounts, and heads for Chicago’s O’Hare Airport to catch the next flight to LA. There, falling apart and with the airport grounded by an ice storm, Tasha meets the annoyingly optimistic Carter McGee, who’s traveling to stop his ex-wife’s wedding. With time running out, they hit the road in a sketchy rental van for a trip that changes their whole lives in Set Your Life on Fire.
Sandi Shelton, who writes as Maddie Dawson for reasons she will be happy to explain if you give her five minutes, was a features reporter for the New Haven Register for thirty years. But she was always writing a novel that she kept in a drawer–and when that novel emerged and found its true home with a publisher, she went on to write twelve more of them, including three non-fiction humorous parenting books gleaned from her ten years writing the Sunday column. Her novels have been translated into 16 languages, and although she always swears each one is her last, she’s still at it. She lives with her husband in Guilford, after having raised three kids. Now that she’s the grandmother of six, you can see her walking around the Guilford Green, looking confused. Don’t worry. She’s just thinking of plot points.
