This week on State of Art we're hearing from Eagle River author LoLo Paige. She retired from the Department of Interior in Alaska after a career as a wildlands firefighter. She said she'd always wanted to write and started in non-fiction. After she wrote a story called Embers of Memories about a close call her fire crew had, Paige won an Alaska Press Club award and a judge suggested she turn the story into a novel. She immersed herself in writer's conferences and joined local groups like 49 Writers and The Alaska Writers Guild.
Her " Blazing Hearts Wildfire Series" focuses on wildland firefighters finding romance, adventure and intrigue in Alaska.
