Curtiss Ann Matlock
Curtiss Ann Matlock is the author of the currently popular
series of books
set in the beloved fictional town of Valentine, of which
the first—Lost
Highways—will be republished in trade paperback in
September.
Welcome to Valentine, a place where neighbors are
family, family is life and
life is to love--and miracles are indeed
possible...goes the tag line for
the Valentine series of books about tough-minded women both
racing and stumbling
down the rocky road of life, out to go somewhere, although
like most of us, not
quite certain where. In the tradition of Jan Karon and
Fannie Flagg, Curtiss
Ann’s stories are slice-of-life dramas that are tender,
funny, and filled with
heart.
With over 7 million copies of her books in print in
seven languages
worldwide, Curtiss Ann has earned rave reviews and spots on
the USA TODAY
bestseller list. She has 3 times been nominated for the
prestigious RITA Award,
and received two Readers’ Choice Awards, given by readers
from all over the
country. Her novella, Miracle On I-40 will be
a hardback gift book
for the 2005 Christmas season.
A published author for twenty years, Curtiss Ann enjoys
speaking to writer
and women’s groups about the crafts of both writing and
living. She makes her
home on a ranch in central Oklahoma, with her husband, one
wonder dog, five
cats, and two horses.
