After a thirty-year career and eighteen years of mothering, she was at a loss, with no job and her child a thousand miles away.
Abbott always loved writing, despite leaving her original career in journalism for health care sales and marketing. She jumped in to writing and reporting again, becoming the world’s oldest cub reporter. She has become a familiar local presence in area newspapers and magazines. Her column, The Raven Lunatic, runs in several Indiana daily newspapers, and she frequently writes at curated online sites.
Once she started writing, she couldn’t stop. The Luxury of Daydreams is part-memoir, part-comedy, and part-inspiration for women of a certain age who find themselves in transition.
Now a long-time resident of Warrick County, Indiana, Abbott grew up in Whitley County, Indiana. She is a proud graduate of the School of Journalism at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
Many of her essays reflect her pride in the people and land of the Hoosier state. She and her husband, Randy, have one son. She enjoys traveling, reading nonfiction and history, attending theatrical productions, and photographing buildings and nature.view less
