Meet Moon Alaska author Lisa Maloney (of Hiking Alaska)! The new edition of her book hits shelves today: https://bit.ly/4gSw3gJ
"I loved reading and writing from a very early age, but it was never meant to be my career path — until somebody asked me what I'd be doing with my math degree, and the words "Nothing. I'm going to be a writer," fell out of my mouth. People kept asking, I kept giving the same answer that surprised everybody (even me), and eventually I decided I'd better put up or shut up.
It's now been a solid 20 years since my first writing job, penning a hiking column for a local newspaper. Although I travel extensively throughout Alaska for leisure and (writing) work, the unmatched beauty and wildness of outdoor Alaska — especially once you leave the cities behind — remains the magnet that draws me ever onward. Whether you're looking for mild or wild adventures, sharing the excitement of traveling through Alaska, and through its great natural beauty, remains one of my favorite things on this planet.”
