WELLING NOVEL DEBUTS: Tina Welling’s novel, Crybaby Ranch, is now available for pre-order from Ghost Road Press. Tina, a long-time Jackson resident, is a writer, writing teacher, and entrepreneur. She works with Tim Sandlin to put together the annual Jackson Hole Writers’ Conference. Tina is the recipient of a Blanchan/Doubleday writing award from the Wyoming Arts Council, and she’s on the WAC artists’ roster. Here’s a short description of the book from the press’s catalog: “Could something as simple as pineapple pizza cause a woman to reconsider everything in her life? For Suzannah, an argument over dinner is just the catalyst she needs to awaken her senses, propelling her from marriage in Ohio to life alone near Wyoming’s majestic Teton Range. As she untangles her most important relationships, Suzannah finds herself plopped into an unexpected attachment—this one with a rugged artist. With optimism and passion, Crybaby Ranch shows Suzannah’s journey to happiness and compassion—for herself and everyone she loves.” The novel is a trade paperback (ISBN 0-9778034-4-9) and its cover price is $17.95.
