All Maps Are Fiction

Clyde Witt worked as a journalist and photographer for more than 40 years before retiring. Fiction writing was not part of his retirement plan in 2008 when he started a genealogy project that led to his first novel. The original retirement plan called for more fly fishing and birding with his wife, Susan Jones. And while they've managed to pursue those pastimes, including trips to Cuba, Ecuador, New Zealand, England and around North America, fiction writing has consumed many hours in between. He is a regular attendee of the University of Iowa's Summer Writing Festival program where he has had the honor of working with numerous talented authors. He is also the author of "Lost in the Tallgrass" and its sequel, "A Clouded Life."
