Ann Wertz Garvin writes standalone fiction, with seven novels published between 2010 and 2024. Her books tend toward character-driven stories with a comedic or emotional edge, as titles like I Like You Just Fine When You’re Not Around, I Thought You Said This Would Work, and There’s No Coming Back from This suggest. The humor in those titles is a good indicator of her style.
Her early novels, On Maggie’s Watch (2010) and The Dog Year (2014), were spaced several years apart, but her output picked up after 2021, with four books arriving in just four years. Bummer Camp (2024) is her most recent release. Readers looking for women’s fiction with wit and heart will find her catalog worth exploring, especially the later books where her publishing momentum really increased.
