Author - Gerri Almand

Gerri Almand is the author of three multiple-award-winning, humorous nonfiction books about RV travel: The Reluctant RV Wife, Home Is Where the RV Is, and Running from Covid in our RV Cocoon. In addition, she has been published in multiple magazines and journals.

Gerri’s latest nonfiction humorous book, Over-55 Conniptions, begins a new chapter in her life. When health problems brought their RVing days to an end, she and her husband moved into an over-55 community, thus triggering the unmistakable realization that she was now an elderly woman with a time-limited future.  In this newest release, Gerri chronicles her struggle to acquiesce to the inevitability of growing old, doing so with sharp humor, poignant insights, and caring compassion.

Before writing, Gerri enjoyed a forty-year career as a social worker, working with children and families in a variety of settings. Little did she realize that during decades of writing reports that she’d write creative nonfiction books after she retired. 

Gerri now makes her home with her husband in Eugene, Oregon, happily nestled in her over-55 neighborhood where she has adjusted and most decidedly belongs. Her hobbies include gardening, listening to live music, and sipping pinot noir in one of the local wineries. Her goal is to expand her large collection of indoor plants until her home resembles a tropical rain forest.
