Meet Trudy

My writing comes from many influences, stories about people and places in the South, often for young people, many times mysterious or unexplained, frequently inspirational, but they all inspire me. 

Food, travel, family, inspiring people and places, history, humor, personal essays- if it's interesting to me, I write about it!

Have a story or project? I'm always looking for opportunities to collaborate.

  • "While my favorite genre is romance, I loved the mystery surrounding Lannie Reese. I loved the story line and the book was well written. Can't wait to read the next novel by Trudy Saunders. Keep them coming."

  • "What an entertaining story! Loved all of the "name-dropping" of MoCo locations! (I grew up in the area, and it really took me home for a bit!) Can't wait to share this captivating tale with my boys, and really looking forward to see what the next Lannie Reese mystery will be!"

  • "I purchased Bigfoot & Basketball because it was written by a local author, and because I felt like my daughter and I would both enjoy this read. It did not dissapoint! After reading this book, I cannot wait to read the second Lannie Reese Mystery, Terror at Town Creek! This book pulled me right in with awesome character development, wonderful twists and turns and the ending wrapped up all those twists quite well. Bigfoot and Basketball gets a 5 start rating from me!"
