Lynda Rutledge

Lynda Rutledge, a lifelong animal lover, has had the joy of petting baby rhinos, snorkeling with endangered turtles, and strolling with a tower of giraffes as a freelance journalist while winning awards for her fiction. Her debut novel "Faith Bass Darling's Last Garage Sale" won the 2013 Writers League of Texas Novel of the Year and was adapted as a major French film starring Catherine Deneuve (French title: "La Dernière Folie de Claire Darling") released in 2019 in France and around the world through 2020.

Her new novel "West with Giraffes," inspired by a true story, is now available everywhere. FYI: If you can't find it, please ask your local bookstore or library to order it. For audio version, you and your library can buy an MP3 disc version OR use a KINDLE. Thanks!
