Wandering the country’s byways from Kentucky to Key West to Montana, Jessie is out to experience everything.

She didn’t count on meeting a man like Twisty.

Bell-Bottom Gypsy is recommended for mature readers due to 1970s-era sex, drugs, and profanity.

Author Bio:
Maggie Plummer is a multi-genre author based in western Montana. Her latest book, Eagle in Flight, is Book Three of her semi-autobiographical Jessie Morgan Series and her fifth published novel.

To help introduce her new novel, she is offering Book One of the series, Bell-Bottom Gypsy, free on Kindle for three days: Feb. 10, 11, and 12, 2022. Enjoy!

Along the winding trail to becoming a novelist, Maggie lived in far-flung corners of the United States and worked as a journalist, school bus driver, Good Humor ice cream girl, fishing boat mate, and race horse hot walker, among other things.

Her Jessie Morgan Series begins with Bell-Bottom Gypsy, a wild 1970s ride – an adventurous journey along America’s back roads from Detroit to Key West to Montana. Out to experience everything, Jessie didn’t count on meeting a man like Twisty.

The series continues with Webs in the Mist: The Jessie Morgan Series, Book 2, in which Jessie arrives in 1970s San Francisco, ready to embrace the city’s Bohemian vibe. Spreading her wings in the City by the Bay, she leaves her troubled past behind. Or does she?

In Book 3 of the series, Eagle in Flight, Jessie needs to disappear. She voyages solo into the wilds of northern British Columbia and Southeast Alaska, hoping trouble cannot find her there. Along the way, Jess experiences true wilderness, has surprising adventures on commercial fishing boats, and battles persistent fears.

Maggie’s first novel, Spirited Away – A Novel of the Stolen Irish, paints an intimate portrait of 1650s Irish slavery in the Caribbean. It was a 2013 finalist in The Kindle Book Review’s Best Indie Book Awards as well as a quarter-finalist in the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards Competition. The book has 272 Amazon reviews.

Daring Passage: Book 2 of the Spirited Away Saga tells the rest of slave Freddy O’Brennan’s story. Delighted readers call it “a stunning sequel.”

Maggie is also the author of a nonfiction book entitled Passing It On: Voices from the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Like her character Jessie Morgan, the author drove her 1965 Volkswagen convertible across the United States in the early ’70s, working seasonal jobs and meeting great people. She ended up in San Francisco, where she walked barefoot across the Golden Gate Bridge and learned to love nude beaches. In the mid-70s, Maggie traveled to the off-the-grid North Country, enduring monster mosquitoes and mind-boggling boat trips on the raging Stikine River.

These days, Maggie works from her home near the shores of Flathead Lake, where she loves hanging out with her sweet black lab, Peaches, and enjoys growing tomatoes.
