Author of the Salt and Light Express
Available for SALE NOW!
Lee Ann Walling
My debut novel, The Salt and Light Express, is available in all formats. It’s the story of Chris, an adventurous older woman who heads west in a small RV after the death of her long-time partner, Sally. Her original mission was to spread Sally’s ashes at Bryce Canyon, but detours and people along the way help her heal, confront her flagging faith, and find love and purpose again.
It’s an inspiring novel perfect for book clubs, and I can’t wait for you to read it.

If you have #spotify premium you can listen to the #audiobook as part of your membership. I’d share the link and make it easy but I can’t. P.s. the narration is awesome. @theaudiobookexperience #saltandlightexpress #roadtrip #faithjourney
I will be at the new @bam_dover at 1:30 pm Saturday, January 10. Come keep me company. It’s a great store for #doverdelaware #doverde #kentcountyde #delaware #drexelmfa

!! Look who I am side by side with at @thecraftyreader_de @keliboconnor #drexelmfa #authorsofinstagram
First sighting of the hardcover! #indieauthorsofinstagram #librarylove #drexelmfa #writinglife
But no, I spent the money independently publishing a #novel instead. Still, no regrets. Yet. Link in profile. #indieauthorsofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writinglife #writingcommunity #drexelmfa
Stop by the @thecraftyreader_de in Milford next Saturday from 12 to 2. I’ll be signing books. A friend bought 5 for Christmas presents. #indieauthorsofinstagram #milforddelaware #authorsofinstagram #sussexcountyde #kentcountyde
My first #audiobook royalty deposit paid for crab cake sandwiches at @finsfenwickisland. There was a special. No beer. Woohoo. 🎉 #indieauthorsofinstagram #writinglife #indiesuthors #drexelmfa
A few more firsts: signings, podcasts, and a two-star review. Link in profile. #drexelmfa #indieauthorsofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writingcommunity
I survived my first #booksigning at @browseaboutbooks. It went well! Met a lot of nice #bookpeople. #indieauthorsofinstagram #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram
Stop by @browseaboutbooks on 11/22 and say hello. And think holiday gift! #indieauthorsofinstagram #rehobothbeach #lewesdelaware #bethanybeach #authorsofinstagram
Saw @virginia.l.evans last night in Lewes. The author of #thecorrespondent wrote seven unpublished novels before this one broke through. Her #writing journey was so inspirational and gave me hope. And patience. #authorsofinstagram #writinglife
I joined @podmatch_com late yesterday and have already been invited to and scheduled two #podcasts. And they are the real deal. I probably could have scheduled more but I wanted to finish watching their tutorials and catch my breath. #indieauthorsofinstagram #writingcommunity #drexelmfa Check it out, author friends.
After a successful #booklaunch AND #writing 10,000 words in 3 days, hey, I’m an #author! Link in profile. #indieauthorsofinstagram #writingcommunity #drexelmfa
Well I believe that adds up to 10,182. In three days! This place is amazing, @penni_q_lamont. I wrote two big fat humongous climactic scenes. #drexelmfa #indieauthorsofinstagram #writingcommunity
My total today. I am trying to match @penni_q_lamont Highlights record of 10,000 words. I still have tomorrow and Sunday morning. 3800 to go. #drexelmfa #writingcommunity #wordcount
Morning has broken here. Time to write. #drexelmfa #writing #indieauthorsofinstagram #poconos
There’s only two of us here from #drexelmfa so I guess I’ll do more writing and less drinking. #indieauthorsofinstagram #writingcommunity
Before I start obsessing over book sales, I thought I would share scenes from my #booklaunch party that benefited the #epworthrb food ministry. Because it was a great day. Thanks to all! @juliederrickmusic @amcapone802 @elizafreed @drexelmfa @reginawritenow #indieauthorsofinstagram #bookstagram #saltandlightexpress
