Fishing for Courage: Mishaps and Magic on Alaska's Outer Coast
Carole Gibb (née Healy) has written a memoir, Fishing for Courage, and also a romantic mystery, Bad Guys Beware, set in Alaska. Aside from writing books, and working on a salmon boat on Alaska's gulf, she's driven a dump truck, mowed grass, dug graves, and painted houses, fences, and boats. She's been a staff writer for the Juneau Empire, an editor with Alaska’s state wildlife bureau, and has contributed essays to the public radio program AK. Her articles have also appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Today’s Chicago Woman, and the Washington Post.  Her dream job, above all, is writing books. Why does she love it? She has a great boss. A sign over her desk says: The Reader is Boss.
