Mystery Series by RVing Author

April Star, RVer-author, describes her start as a mystery writer:

I guess you could say I took an unusual route to a writing career. Traveling the roads of America for 16 years with my husband, Jerry, I began to write on the road as a means of expressing all I was experiencing. Jerry’s work in the construction trade brought us to every "where-in-the-he_ _ -is…" place on the map.

I filled my days writing journals of people, places, and the countless things that happen on the road and in campgrounds. Many campers through the years would ask me over and over why I didn’t write a book. I did. A non-fiction account of all the journals titled, "Life Through a Rear View Mirror". It was distributed to family and friends only. Shortly after writing that very large volume, I discovered my real niche was in the mystery genre.

In 1992, shortly after hurricane Andrew devastated the Homestead, Florida area, Jerry and I rolled our 32 ft. Avion into a Florida City camping resort (which, at the time, appeared to be more of a MASH unit). In an attempt to keep my sanity, I took a job in the office where I soon discovered insanity bred! A year later, I became assistant manager and marketing director and in 1996 Jerry joined me in the office as we agreed upon the offer of campground managers.

There we stayed and there is where the REAL stories and characters emerged for what is now a reality --the Wanderlust Mystery Series (www.authoraprilstar.com). Taken from both views of the full-time RVer (the traveler across America and Canada) as well as the villains (otherwise known as “The Managers").

Currently I live in Sebring, Florida and am again working and managing a residential mobile home park with an RV section. You can take the girl out of the campground but you can’t take the camping and adventure out of the girl. I'm also a columnist for the local paper with my series of articles titled "RV Rendezvous." I'm an active member of Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, Sisters In Crime, The International Thriller Writers and The Authors Guild.
