IDAHO FALLS – A novel based on the life of Wilson Rawls, author of Where the Red Fern Grows

A man with a secret desire to become an author reveals his dream to his new wife. She believes in his talent, insisting that he write full-time while she supports them. The book he creates becomes an instant classic. He dies unexpectedly; she honors his life by completing his final manuscript.

Kelly George Alblinger is a multitalented writer, producing fiction, non-fiction, and memoir with equal finesse. A prolific ghostwriter, Kelly has dozens of works to her (unnamed) credit. Her Young Adult novel, The Clash Inside Me (co-authored with J. Mondragon) was a finalist in the 2022 ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Competition, placing in the Top 1% of the Drama category. She has a memoir slated for publication in Fall 2022, and continues work on both a novel and another memoir. Kelly is an intuitive writer, channeling her astute observations of life and human behavior into her work. She resides near Los Angeles.
